Oklahoma 991 Fee Dept.

Oklahoma 991 Fee Department Tee

This unisex shirt is soft, lightweight, and flattering for all—but don’t let the comfort fool you. It’s a tongue-in-cheek nod to one of Oklahoma’s most mysterious institutions: the 991 Fee. If you’ve ever found yourself in court with a deferred sentence or probation, you know the drill. Every month, without fail, you shell out forty bucks to the “991 Fee Department.” What is it for? Nobody knows. Does it go to victims, infrastructure, or justice reform? Doubtful. What you do know is that if you don’t pay, you violate. And violating means one thing—back to court, or worse, back to jail.

It’s the ultimate Oklahoma inside joke: a system so ingrained, so arbitrary, that nobody questions it. You just pay because you have to. Ask ten lawyers what the fee is for and you’ll get ten different answers. Ask the judge, and you’ll just get another stern look. The only guarantee is that the money leaves your wallet, and the court checks the box marked “paid.” Congratulations, you’re free for another 30 days.

Wearing this shirt is like being in on a secret club—the probationers, the defendants, the courthouse veterans who know the fee better than they know their own phone bill. Everyone who’s ever stood in line at the clerk’s office with $40 in hand will nod in recognition when they see this shirt. It’s not just apparel, it’s a badge of survival in Oklahoma’s justice economy.

So throw it on, rep the Oklahoma 991 Fee Department proudly, and laugh at the absurdity of paying for something nobody can explain. At least this shirt gives you more than the fee ever did.
