The Court is held in the City/Village where you received the citation.  Cases are called on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are appearing in court, please bring your citation with you.

Default Judgement

If you fail to appear in court, pay your forfeiture, or fail to enter a not guilty plea on or before your initial court date, a default judgment will be entered against you.  The court will enter a plea of no contest, make a finding of guilty, and impose a forfeiture. You will receive a default postcard after court showing the amount due and due date.

Failure to Pay a Forfeiture

There may be serious consequences if you fail to follow the Court’s orders or pay the forfeiture. The Court may commit a person to jail for not more than ninety (90) days; or, the Court may order a suspension of your driver’s privileges (license) for up to ONE (1) year [two (2) years if you are a juvenile], or until the forfeiture is paid. The Court can also refer your debts to the State Debt Collection or Tax Intercept. If you cannot pay the forfeiture due to poverty, you may request a hearing for a poverty determination.
