When there is a conviction on an appealed case from a court of non-record, the fine money is deposited into the county treasury for the use and benefit of the county.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Deposited into state treasury
• D. Given to judge

Answer: (B)

When a conviction is appealed from a court of non-record, the fine money goes to the county treasury for the use and benefit of the county. In Texas, non-record courts (like many municipal courts) may convict, but on appeal the case proceeds in a court of record, often de novo. The law directs that the fines collected in the non-record court are deposited with the county treasurer to fund county government and the appellate process. This money is not deposited to the state treasury or paid to the judge personally. So this statement is true.
