Postponements and Continuances in Traffic Court In most areas, traffic ticket due dates and traffic court trial dates aren't set in stone. If you have a good reason for requesting a due date extension or that a traffic court trial date be moved back, there's a good chance you'll be able to get your request granted.
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 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.
The request MUST BE SUPPORTED by a declaration signed under penalty of perjury that clearly explains the reasons for requesting a continuance and why the the timeline for a continuance is appropriate under the circumstances. The Court does not offer a form to request a continuance.
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.
In legal terms, a change in a hearing date to a date in the future is called a “continuance” of the hearing.
Tells the court that you had legal papers in a civil case - other than a summons - delivered to (served on) the other party. Lists the papers that were served and tells who they were served on, where, when, and how they were served, and who served them.
