Is my appearance required to resolve my citation?
The law requires that you personally appear in court for your violation. If you were issued a citation, your appearance is required within 20 business days from the date of the citation.

Juvenile Appearances: According to State Law, persons 16 years of age or younger MUST appear in person with a parent or legal guardian before the Municipal Court Judge. PLEASE DO NOT MAIL YOUR FINE PAYMENT; payment cannot be accepted prior to the court appearance.

Minor Appearances: According to State Law, minors under age of 18 with alcohol or tobacco violations must appear with a parent or legal guardian before the Municipal Court Judge. Minors ages 18 to 21 with alcohol violations must appear in person before the Municipal Court Judge.
