Citation Dismissal

Filing Documents
All documents presented to the Municipal Court are verified. Filing a fraudulent document with a court is a felony.

Fail to Maintain Financial Responsibility (No Insurance)
You must provide a copy of a valid insurance policy that was in effect on the date and at the time of the citation. If you were driving someone else’s vehicle, you must present a copy of their insurance policy with a permission letter from the insured stating that you had permission to drive the vehicle. The permission letter must have the insured’s signature affixed. Insurance will be confirmed by the court clerk with the insurance company.

Fail to Display Driver’s License
You must present to the court a valid driver’s license issued prior to the date and the time of the citation. This offense is dismissible for a $10 fee (failure to pay the fee forfeits your right to a dismissal).
