Payments to Galveston County

Generally, the court requires payment of court costs ($20.00), attorney fees (as assessed by court), child support (as assessed by court), and fees ($15.00 monthly). Cashier check or money order should be made payable to the "County Of Galveston". Payments toward these various fees may be combined into one money order or cashier check. For example, a money order for $35.00 can be split with $20.00 toward court costs and $15.00 toward fees. These payments do not require a money order purchased from the U.S. Postal Service.  Note your child's name on the memo line of all cashier checks and money orders.

Cash and personal checks are not accepted for any payment.

Payments may be hand-delivered at the Juvenile Justice Department. Payments may also be mailed to the child’s probation officer.
