MISSION STATEMENT: We pledge to provide those who live, work and visit Marble Falls with quality service and effective government that is open and responsive to the needs and values of the community.
The Municipal Court has original and exclusive
jurisdiction over violations of City Ordinances that occur
in the territorial jurisdiction of the City and on property
owned by the City in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Fines may be provided for violations relating to fire safety,
zoning, public health, and sanitation. Municipal Courts
have limited civil jurisdiction and are able to assess civil
penalties for owners of dangerous dogs.
The Municipal Judge also serves as magistrate
of the State. In this capacity, the Municipal Judge has
authority to issue warrants for the apprehension and arrests
of persons charged with the commission of an offense. As
a magistrate, the Municipal Judge may issue emergency protection
orders, hold preliminary hearings, discharge an accused,
or remand the accused to jail and set bail.
The Court must maintain a record of each case
filed before the Court, prepare judgments, hold indigence
hearings, issue warrants, approve community service requests,
magistrate juveniles and certify statements, and prepare
cases for trials. The Municipal Judge presides over all
trials, unless a reason for recusal is presented.
