Cleveland County Overview
Cleveland County District Court Clerk
The Cleveland County Court Clerk's office is located at 201 S. Jones Ave., Norman, OK 73069. The phone number is (405) 321-6402. The clerk handles all District Court records for civil, criminal, traffic, probate, and family court matters. The office is on the first floor, 1E (east entrance, west door). If you need to pay a fine in person, this is where you go. The office also processes mail-in payments and handles records requests.
The Cleveland County District Court processes traffic tickets from several agencies, not just OHP and the county sheriff. Citations from the University of Oklahoma Police, Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation (State Parks), and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife and Conservation also come to this court. That is different from many other counties where only OHP and the county sheriff submit to District Court. If you are not sure who issued your ticket, check the officer's agency on the citation.

How Cleveland County Traffic Tickets Work
When you get a traffic citation in Cleveland County from OHP, the sheriff's office, OU Police, or another qualifying state agency, your case goes to the District Court. The date on your ticket is your report date, not necessarily a trial date. You will not see the judge unless you arrange it through the District Attorney's office at (405) 321-8268.
Payment is due on or before your court date. You have three ways to pay: online at pay.oscn.net/epayments using a credit or debit card; by mail using a cashier's check or money order mailed to the Court Clerk's Office with your plea written on the back of the citation (do not send cash); or in person at the Court Clerk's Office, 201 S. Jones Ave., Norman, first floor, 1E entry. The clerk accepts cash, cashier's check, and money order in person. Payment plans must be set up in person at the clerk's office.
If you plan to contest the ticket, contact the District Attorney before your court date. Do not just show up to the courthouse without making arrangements. The DA's office number is (405) 321-8268. If you want to discuss your case, call ahead and set up the right steps.
Note: Municipal tickets issued by Norman or Moore city police do NOT go to the District Court. They go to those cities' own municipal court systems.
Violations That Cause License Suspension in Cleveland County
Some traffic violations in Cleveland County lead to automatic license suspension by the Department of Public Safety. These are separate from the point system. You can be suspended for these violations even if you have only a few points on your record.
The four main automatic suspension triggers in Oklahoma are: illegally passing a stopped school bus, eluding or attempting to elude a police officer, driving without proof of insurance, and DUI. If you are convicted of any of these in Cleveland County District Court, DPS will suspend your license. The suspension process is handled by DPS separately from the court case itself.
Outside of automatic suspensions, the point system still applies. Reaching 10 points in five years also triggers a DPS review for possible suspension. Reckless driving adds 4 points. At-fault accidents and improper passing each add 3 points. Careless driving, failure to obey stop signs or lights, and failure to yield add 2 points each. Failure to signal and defective vehicle violations add 1 point. Speeding adds 2 to 4 points depending on how far over the limit you were driving. You can take a defensive driving course to subtract 2 points once every 24 months.
