Killeen Municipal Court Records
The Killeen Municipal Court handles Class C misdemeanors and traffic tickets within city limits. You can search by citation number or name. The court phone number is 254-501-7850. These are lower-level offenses like speeding, running a stop sign, or minor city ordinance violations.
Mugshots are not taken for Class C misdemeanor arrests in most cases. But the court records are still public. If someone had a warrant and was picked up on it, the booking would go through the Bell County Jail and a mugshot would be taken then. So even if the original charge was a Class C, a warrant arrest still creates a booking record with a photo at the county level.
For felony and higher-level misdemeanor cases, the Bell County District Court handles prosecution. Court records can be searched through the county clerk's office or the statewide Texas Judicial Branch case search system.
