TRAFFIC CITATION QUESTIONS
Please read ALL instructions carefully
If you have received a TRAFFIC CITATION that is listed on the Fine Schedule shown below, you have options available to you:
1. Plead Guilty and pay the required amount to the Magistrate before your court date.
2. Appear in Court (and either plead Guilty, Not Guilty, or speak with the Prosecutor to determine if other options are available to you).
If you are determined to be a repeat offender, the Court has the option to require you to appear in Court.
If payment has not been received by NOON on the court date and you do not appear in court on the date prescribed on your citation, a warrant may be issued for your arrest and the Department of Public Safety may revoke your driver's license. Additional fines may also be imposed.
ALL traffic charges that are NOT shown on the Schedule and all NON-TRAFFIC charges MUST appear in Court.
