You absolutely can appear in court and inform them that you were unable to properly serve, and ask for a formal 'continuance' (delay) asking for more time to find the defendant. If this is a first time, judges tend to allow such a delay if it is not too long.
Court filings with exhibits attached as part of the court filing must be submitted to the court at the time of filing with the court (either in person, by mail, or through the eFile and eServe (eFS) System).
You can ask for this in person at the hearing/trial date but less likely to be granted. Ultimately, it is up to the judge so put clear reasons why you need this continuance. If for example, it is to have time to get a lawyer, explain that and what efforts you have made to find a lawyer.
What are valid reasons for requesting a continuance? Valid reasons include personal emergencies, unavailability of essential evidence, and lack of legal representation.
Go to the court on the date/time you're assigned. They will call your name, and you can ask for a continuance for dismissal. In my case, I didn't have to ask for a continuance for dismissal - the judge saw my record of zero tickets and automatically offered it to me.
