Where a Ticket Written in Weatherford 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 Weatherford
The Parker County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Weatherford (filed by the FBI as Weatherford Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Weatherford.
The FBI's agency list also places four other agencies and one campus police department in Parker County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The Azle Police Department, Reno Police Department, Parker County, the Mineral Wells Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Parker County, so their arrests are not broken out for Parker County here.
The Driving Record and the Texas Department of Public Safety
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Texas Department of Public Safety, 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 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 Weatherford DUI).
