Texas courthouse installs outdoor payment kiosk

February 10, 2014

The Ector County Courthouse in Odessa, Texas, has installed an outdoor payment kiosk that allows users to pay fines and fees 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

According to an article on newswest9.com, the Ector County Judge Susan Redford said the kiosk will alleviate lines in the Compliance Department, the office which accepts in-person payment of fines and fees.

"The amount of traffic we have through that office is tremendous and at times overwhelming so when the Director of the Compliance Department brought this idea to the commissioners' court, we were very excited being to help to relieve some of the workload they are experiencing right now," Redford said in the article.

Redford also noted the added convenience the kiosk offers the public.

"They have a job, they work 8-5. So this gives them the ability when they get off work or on their way to work to stop by and go ahead and make payment," she said.
