Whenever a person is convicted in a City of Fort Worth municipal court of maintaining a junked vehicle which constitutes a public nuisance in violation of § 22-311, the court shall, in connection with its guilty finding, enter an order directing the guilty party to abate and remove the public nuisance which was the subject of the criminal complaint. Any order so entered shall take effect immediately upon conviction becoming final. If abatement is not accomplished as ordered by the court, the city is authorized to abate the nuisance and assess the reasonable costs of abatement against the guilty party.
