2025 Escheatment

If you were mailed a notice - see the claim steps/instructions here (pdf); to see if you are a claimant - see the list of payees here (pdf). Please note that the notice you received contained an error in stating that the funds were intended for victim restitution. In fact, these funds are associated with civil trust accounts, including but not limited to jury services and related matters.

Please be advised the Court is experiencing delays in traffic citation processing.

As a result, you may not be able to locate your citation when searching in the Court’s database. If your citation is not yet showing in the Courts system, please contact the traffic call center at 951-222-0384 for further instructions. Your citation will not be considered delinquent, and your date to pay and/or appear will be adjusted if your ability to timely remit payment or appear in Court has been adversely impacted by this delay.
