1. Your full name and correct mailing address.
2. Your ticket or summons number (s), including the prefix.

Once your plea is received you will be notified of your new court date in 2 ways;
Via email, within 24 hours of the next business day and Via regular mail to the mailing address provided in your request
Please contact our office should you not receive either notification of a new court date within one week to sending your request.
You may also contact us should you have any questions regarding your ticket or how to make payment if you wish to plead guilty to a non mandatory court required ticket.
