Frequently Asked Questions:

There is a payment location noted on the copy of the violation notice sent to you. If you have questions regarding payment or need additional location information, you may call the customer service line at 877-847-2338.

What happens to me if I don’t pay my ticket? Will there be a warrant?
Additional resources will be utilized to seek compliance, which may add to your cost liability. The violation is a civil charge; no warrant will be issued for your arrest.

I wasn’t driving… what do I do now?
There is a nomination section on the citation form that allows you to identify the person who was driving your vehicle. Ultimately, the owner is responsible for violations committed in his/her vehicle. If you cannot name the person driving, responsibility remains with the owner.

Are there cameras on all Lake Jackson red lights?
No. A study was completed to determine locations where violations were of such volume that the installation was warranted. There are currently four locations in Lake Jackson being monitored electronically.

Can the cameras see into my (car, house, business)?
The cameras are directed and focused to identify the violating vehicle only. There are no photographs taken from the front of the vehicle, and no attempt is made to identify occupants. The cameras are not directed towards homes or businesses.

I thought red light cameras were (unconstitutional, against the law, etc). Why do we have them?
Electronic enforcement of red light violations has come under much scrutiny, but remains a state law and court supported method of suppressing violations. It is only one of several methods used to curb unsafe driving habits, and has proven effective in making our citizens more aware as they approach intersections where these devices are present. Awareness leads to better, safer drivers on Lake Jackson roadways.
