Court Rules
The law requires you to appear in court unless you pay your fine before you are
scheduled to appear.  If you were issued a citation, your appearance date is noted on
the citation.  If you have been released on bond, your appearance date is set on the
bond.  You or your attorney may appear in person in open court, by mail, or you may
deliver your plea in person to the court.

Your first appearance is to determine your plea.  If you waive a jury trial and plead guilty
or nolo contendere (no contest), you may talk to the judge about extenuating
circumstances that you want the judge to consider when setting your fine, but the judge
is not required to reduce your fine.

If you enter a plea of not guilty, a date and time will be set for your trial.
