Where a Ticket Written in Krum Goes

Texas has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Writes the Tickets in Krum
The Denton County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Krum (filed by the FBI as Krum Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Krum.
The FBI's agency list also places 12 other agencies and two campus police departments in Denton County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The Celina Police Department, the Prosper Police Department, the Plano Police Department and five more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Denton County, so their arrests are not broken out for Denton 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 Krum DUI).
