Not only will you find a stopper on your drivers license making it impossible to renew your license, not only will you not be able to just pay your ticket at the court, but you will have to send your money to Texas, pay up to 50% in additional fees to a Texas-based collection agency, and add another US$10.00 credit card handling fee for immediate service.
This can easily double the cost of your ticket.
The Hawai`i court system, like many other jurisdictions, has contracted with the Texas-based Municipal Service Bureau to collect on Hawai`i-issued traffic tickets.
Once the collection agency is involved, they will be provided with your social security number, your date of birth, your drivers license number, all your phone numbers, including unlisted numbers.
You can expect to receive two phone calls a day and every day until you pay your ticket including the handling fees the agency adds to the ticket amount.
Privacy concerns? Not for Hawai`i courts. All information is provided by the Honolulu District Court to this privately owned collection agency in Texas.
And don't try to send a check to the Hawai`i courts. Payments for Hawai`i traffic tickets is only accepted in Texas.
