If you need to postpone (a continuance or an extension) your arraignment (the date at the bottom of your ticket or on your courtesy Violation Information Notice), you may do so by phone, online, or in person at any of the court locations in the Traffic Division.
If you missed a court date and would like to reschedule, you can place your matter back on calendar by contacting the Clerk's Office at the courthouse where your case was heard. You may go in person, or call.
If you need more time or can't attend your court date (hearing), you can ask to reschedule it. Unless you and the other side agree, you may need to give the court a good reason why you need to change the court date.
Ask for an extension in person, by phone or in writing. (See contact info on the Traffic Courthouse Locations page .) The Clerk can only give you one extension ("continuance") and only for cases that are set for arraignment or court trial and the matter was not set by the Court.
