Court Appearance Requirements

 

The law requires that you appear in court for your case.  A phone call, or a request for information at the court office, is not considered an appearance. If you were issued a citation, you must appear on or before your appearance date, the 20th day after your citation or charge was issued.

Appearance is not complete until you have entered a plea or the case is dismissed.
