Appearance Notices

Is it a law that when you get a ticket that requires a court appearance, the court must send you a notice in the mail with your court date?

Re: Appearance Notices

Generally, when the court appearance required box is checked, the date to appear is indicated at the bottom of the ticket. If you intend to plead not guilty, you must contact the court 7 days in advance of that date. Once you do that, the court will probably give you a new date and will send you a notice.

Re: Appearance Notices

How else would you know about the court date if it wasn't on your ticket and they didn't tell you? I assume, based on your question, that you got a bench warrant as a result of your failure to appear. Feel free to call me to discuss it.
