Failure to Appear / Violate Promise to Appear

If you fail to appear on your citation in person, by mailing or faxing a court form, or by attorney on or before your appearance date on your citation (10 business days from the issued date), a Failure To Appear (FTA) or Violate Promise to Appear (VPTA) may be assessed to each citation and an additional and separate charge of $130.00 will be due on each citation.

The court will not grant any additional time for you to appear.  You must appear on or before you appearance date to avoid late fees.  If you hire an attorney they must submit a letter of representation to the court by your appearance date.

A warrant for your arrest may be issued at any point after the Failure to Appear / Violate Promise to Appear has been assessed.
