Who Writes the Tickets in Benbrook
The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Benbrook (filed by the FBI as Benbrook Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Benbrook.

The Roanoke Police Department, the Flower Mound Police Department, the Trophy Club Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Tarrant County, so their arrests are not broken out for Tarrant County here.
The Driving Record and the Texas Department of Public Safety
Convictions are reported by the court to the Texas Department of Public Safety, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Department of Public Safety (see Benbrook DUI).
