im confused is everything cleared?

Question

i missed my court date on the 31st if i have a warrant bc of that and i go ahead and pay the fine will i be ok? will the warrant go away?

Answer 1

Ask the court on what to do with your failure to attend the court order. You will more or less be meted a fine and you have to pay for it. You can be excused if you have a valid reason.

Answer 2

Ok, I found out that if you miss your court date:

1) they issue an arrest warrant;
2) they charge you with a new misdemeanor crime
3) they place a hold on your driver's license. The hold on your license then results in a DMV suspension of the license.



The new misdemeanor FTA charge carries possible jail time, and if you are convicted of the misdemeanor, it will remain visible on a background check for years to come.



Also because of the new charge, the bail amount (or full value fine amount) on the case increases substantially.



In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to address all three aspects.

Answer 3

Depending on the nature of the offense -- yes, in many cases paying the fine will resolve the issue.

Sometimes there is an additional penalty for paying it after the scheduled hearing, so check the ticket for details.

And if paying the fine doesn't resolve the problem, they should notify you.
