Written at the stop
The driver, vehicle, location, and violation are captured while they are still in front of the officer.
Mobile Citations
Write it once in the field.
The citation starts at the stop and returns as structured record data.
Officers do not rebuild the same driver and violation information later.

- 1. Ready to issueReview the citation and issue it without leaving the stop.
- 2. Driver & vehicleCapture the stop once. Driver and vehicle details carry forward with the record.
- 3. LocationThe stop location stays with the citation and any work that follows.
A citation you can keep working from.
Less re-entry
Structured fields and scanning where configured cut down typing the same license and registration again.
The stop stays attached
The person, vehicle, and charges stay on the citation after it is issued.
Ready for the work ahead
Issued citations can continue into RMS, and into court when Court is connected. Nobody starts over.
What's in it
What Mobile Citations manages.
The stop
Driver, vehicle, location, and the circumstances of the stop.
The citation
Draft, validate, sign, and issue from the device before leaving the roadside.
Violations
Current Texas offense data so the charge on the citation matches the later record.
Sync
Completed citations return to RMS as structured record data.
Court, when connected
Defendant, citation, and charge can become the start of the court case.
The working citation
The stop becomes the record.
The citation is finished in the field. Records and court continue from what the officer already wrote.
Citation Entry
Write the citation where the stop happens.
Officers capture the citation, violations, location, and officer details in the field instead of reconstructing the ticket later. The same structured record is what RMS receives.
- Traffic and ordinance citations from the device
- Violations, location, dates, and officer details on the citation
- Issuance without rebuilding the ticket at the desk
Driver / Vehicle Capture
Person and vehicle data stay attached.
Driver, vehicle, registration, and identification information are captured with the citation so RMS does not have to recreate those facts.
- Driver and identification fields at the stop
- Vehicle and registration captured with the citation
- The same people and vehicles used in the agency record
Barcode Scanning
Scan instead of retyping.
Device cameras or scanners import driver license and vehicle registration information so officers spend less time keying data at the roadside.
- DL and registration scan where configured
- Less manual typing on person and vehicle fields
- Scanned data lands on the citation record
Violation Selection
The right charge, from current offense data.
Officers select violations from the same Texas offense data the agency uses in RMS — so the citation and the later record stay aligned.
- Search and select current Texas offenses
- Statute, level, and description stay on the citation
- Charges remain consistent when the record continues into RMS
Signatures
Complete the citation on the device.
Signatures and completion happen with the officer in the field so the issued citation is a finished record, not a draft waiting to be retyped.
- Capture signatures on the device
- Mark the citation complete at the stop
- Leave the scene with an issued record
Validation
Catch gaps before the citation is issued.
Required fields and validation help officers finish a complete citation in the field so records is not reconstructing missing pieces later.
- Required citation fields before issuance
- Review on the device before the officer leaves the stop
- Fewer incomplete records arriving in RMS
RMS Handoff
The citation continues into the agency record.
Completed citations return to RMS without duplicate entry. People, charges, and citation history stay available for review, reporting, and court when that work comes next.
- Synchronize completed citations into RMS
- Keep people, charges, and citation history attached
- Continue into reporting and court when the work requires it
Same citation
Same citation. Different view of the work.
Patrol does not need the clerk’s view, and the clerk does not need the roadside form. Each role sees the same citation from the work they do.
Patrol
Sees what it needs to write the citation.
Supervisors
See citation activity after the stop.
Records
Sees the structured citation that already came in.
Court
Sees the defendant and charge when Court is connected.
Command
Sees citation volume from the same record.

Where the work continues
Complete on its own. Connected by design.
Mobile Citations doesn't depend on another Thin Line product to issue a citation. But when an agency also uses RMS or Court, the citation doesn't have to be typed again at the boundary.
RMS
Completed citations sync into the agency record with the person, vehicle, and charges still attached.
Court
When Court is connected, the defendant, citation, and violation can become the start of the court case.
Bring your records
Your history belongs to your agency.
Moving to Thin Line shouldn't mean starting over. We configure Mobile Citations around how your officers write tickets, and validate issuance and sync with your agency before go-live.
