Twiggs County Probate Court

The Twiggs County Probate Court is located at 425 Railroad Street North in Jeffersonville, Georgia. As a probate court, it does primarily deal with estate administration, and related matters, including guardianship, conservatorship, marriage licenses, and vital records. However, the court also oversees traffic citations. They do allow you to pay your speeding ticket online, but again, you should be cautious before you do so. Paying your ticket without going to court does mean you enter a plea of no contest.

By doing so, you are essentially admitting your guilt. Many people do not see the harm in doing so for a traffic ticket, but these tickets can and do have consequences. Every speeding ticket you receive adds points to your driving record. Once your record accumulates 15 points, your license could be suspended. A single traffic violation can also impact your insurance. The company may increase your premiums or, if you have too many tickets, decline to renew your policy altogether.
