About Responding to Your Ticket

You MUST respond to your ticket by the court date shown on the citation by either pleading guilty and paying the fine or by appearing in court on the date specified and pleading not guilty. Failure to respond as required may also result in suspension of your driver's license and a warrant may be issued for your arrest.

Options to plead guilty and to pay your fine:

1. Use the Plead and Pay feature on Case.net

• You will need your citation number

• On traffic or watercraft violations, the number is in the upper left-hand corner

• You must pay the entire amount due on your citation, plus an online processing fee

• By using Plead and Pay, you are acknowledging the payment in full is considered a guilty plea and waiver of a court hearing to the charge on the citation

2. Mail the signed Plea of Guilty, Appearance and Waiver that appears with the citation and return it along with a check or money order (in U.S. dollars) for the full amount due payable to the court. 

• Be sure to write the citation number(s) and your daytime phone number on the front of the check or money order. 

3. Pay at the court listed on the citation.

To plead not guilty:

1. You must appear on the court date and time provided on the citation. 

*If you do not have your copy of the ticket and don't know the ticket number, search Case.net by litigant name.
