Municipal Court Definitions

Continuances

In most instances, the court clerk may grant one continuance from the Notice To Appear date on the traffic ticket or complaint.

The court clerk may grant one 30-day continuance from the Notice to Appear date to an arraignment date for an infraction/citation. If the original Notice to Appear was issued for a court appearance required offense and a bond was issued, the clerk will not grant the continuance.

Exceptions to this continuance policy include, but are not limited to, certain traffic charges, driving under the influence, possession of an illegal drug or charges involving a victim.

Failure to appear on your scheduled court date may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.
