Where a Ticket Written in Lawton Goes
Tickets in Lawton are split by who wrote them: the Comanche County District Court for deputies and troopers, the municipal courts for city officers in the cities that run one. A paid ticket, a dismissal and a trial all end up in that court's records.

Who Writes the Tickets in Lawton
The Comanche County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Lawton (filed by the FBI as Lawton Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Lawton.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Comanche County: Cameron University (campus police); Lawton Public Schools (other agency).
The Driving Record and Service Oklahoma
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by Service Oklahoma, 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 Service Oklahoma 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 Service Oklahoma (see Lawton DUI).
