What to know about this court

Three divisions — call to confirm which one

The county operates Central, South and North divisions at separate locations. Call (314) 615-8760 or check your citation to confirm which division and address applies to your case before your court date.

A county ordinance DWI is still a DWI

A county ordinance conviction counts as an intoxication-related traffic offense for enhancement on any future case, exactly like a city ordinance conviction. It also triggers the same Department of Revenue license action, which runs independently. The 15-day deadline applies here too.

Felony and state charges go to Clayton

If your case is charged under Missouri statute rather than a county ordinance, it is heard at the St. Louis County Circuit Court in Clayton.

Your license case is not heard here

Whatever happens in St. Louis County Municipal Court, the Missouri Department of Revenue is running a separate action against your driver’s license, and it does not wait for your criminal case. You have 15 days from the date your Notice of Suspension (Form 2385) was issued to request a hearing, and the Department states that missing it means no hearing and no further appeal. That track runs through the Department and, on review, the circuit court — not this municipal division. What to do about it →
