The Pantego Municipal Court is committed to being responsive to the evolving needs of those we serve and diligently executing the administrative responsibilities and clerical functions set forth under law. As the local branch of the judicial system, municipal courts encounter more defendants than all other Texas courts combined. Therefore, it is our duty to provide fair and impartial administration of justice by promoting the highest standards in customer service, upholding the integrity of the court, and building public trust and confidence.
