To pay by mail, write your case number clearly on a money order or cashier's check and make it payable to the Warrick County Clerk. Do not send cash.

How Traffic Cases Move Through Warrick County Courts
Most traffic citations issued in Warrick County are civil infractions under Indiana Code Title 9. Civil infractions are not criminal charges. They carry fines but no jail time. The case is filed with the Circuit or Superior Court, and you receive a notice showing your hearing date. Paying the fine before the hearing date closes the case. Appearing in court and contesting the ticket is also an option if you believe the citation was issued in error.
If you do nothing, the court may enter a default judgment against you after the hearing date passes. Judgment adds court costs on top of the original fine. The BMV is then notified, and your driving record may be flagged. In some cases, continued nonpayment can lead to license suspension. Getting ahead of the case early is always better than waiting.
Serious violations, such as reckless driving, operating while intoxicated, or driving with a suspended license, are charged as misdemeanors. These are criminal matters with different procedures and consequences than a basic infraction. The charge classification is listed on your citation. When in doubt, call the Warrick County Clerk's Office or look up your case in MyCase to see how it is classified.
Indiana's civil infraction process is detailed in Indiana Code Title 34-28-5. That statute covers how hearings are conducted, what the court can determine, and the rights of defendants in civil infraction proceedings. Reading the relevant sections can help you understand what to expect before your court date.
Warrick County Traffic Records and the BMV Connection
Court records and BMV driving records are separate but linked. The MyCase system and the Warrick County Clerk hold the court record, which documents the legal case. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles holds your driving record, which tracks convictions and license points. When Warrick County courts report a conviction, the BMV adds it to your driving history.
Points from traffic convictions accumulate on your BMV record. Too many points within a set period can trigger a license suspension. Insurance companies also pull driving records and often raise premiums after a conviction. That is why some drivers choose to contest a ticket or look into a deferral program rather than just paying the fine outright.
