Who Writes the Tickets in Port Hueneme
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Port Hueneme (filed by the FBI as Port Hueneme Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Port Hueneme.
The FBI's agency list also places three state agencies, one other agency, two campus police departments and four state police units in Ventura County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Highway Patrol's four offices write the tickets on the state highways.
The Driving Record and the California Department of Motor Vehicles
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the California Department of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the DMV (see Port Hueneme DUI).
