  3. If any portion of court costs, fines or fees are paid on the 31st day after the judgment, the defendant shall pay an additional $15 per violation as required pursuant to Sec. 51.921, Government Code.  In accordance with this statutory requirement, if the Time Payment Fee was not assessed at the time of payment, you will be notified in writing.
