For Immediate Release:
Johnson
County Clerk, Curtis H. Douglas adds a new service for the citizens of Johnson County.
Recently, the County
Clerk’s Office partnered with Official Payments Corp. and on October 21, 2004
began to provide online court related payments of services as well as fines and
court costs, by accessing the County Clerk’s
web-site at
http://countyclerk.johnsoncountytx.org or at
www.officialpayments.com
.
For
those without internet access, they may call 1-800-272-9829 and follow detailed
instructions by using “Jurisdiction Code” 6317. This will allow defendants and
people who do business with the County Clerk’s Court Section to pay online from
the comforts of their home or office 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
“This
service is being provided without costing tax payers a dime,” Douglas stated.
Defendants or users will be charged a low convenience fee by Official Payments
Corp. in order to utilize the online service. “This will also assist defendants
to follow our court’s orders in paying their fines and court costs.” Douglas
added. County Judge
Roger Harmon commended Douglas for his proactive work. “This is a win for the
county, not only by working to get court fees paid, but also helping the
county’s budget,” Harmon stated. Douglas ended by stating “over the past 10
years in office, this is another accomplishment in our ongoing efforts in
continuing to make the County Clerk’s Office user friendly.”
