Today, I want to talk a little bit about what happens when you miss your court date, what are the potential consequences that can come from that? You can, as always, if you have any questions about a traffic ticket or suspended license, you can text or call me 504-233-8529, or you can schedule a free strategy session at traffictickettalks.com.

So what are the things that can go wrong if you let’s say, forget about a traffic ticket, or maybe you got your court date wrong, you realize, okay, I thought it was Thursday. Turns out it was Tuesday. Well, there's three things to be on the lookout for the first one is an attachment. So that's where it's also called a bench warrant. And that just basically means for your failure to appear, you're subject to arrest if you pulled over by a police officer.

The second thing to be on the lookout for is a contempt fine. So that's just a fine, you're being charged for your failure to appear timely. I can tell you in New Orleans, that that is issued automatically. That night. So if you had court on Tuesday, by Wednesday morning, there will be a contempt bond. You can talk to the judge about that in their discretion, they can waive that fine, but it will be something you will have to deal with. For sure in New Orleans. In the other courts it just depends. They all have different timelines in which those contempts are issued.

The third thing to be concerned about is getting your license suspended. If you don't go to court for a court date or you miss a payment date, there is a very real possibility that at some point, your license will be suspended if you haven't gone in to rectify the matter. And I often find that people don't know that they're suspended until they're pulled over for another ticket. And when they get pulled over, the police officer runs their license and turns out their license suspended.

And so now not only do they get the ticket for what they were originally pulled over for but now they have driving while suspended ticket. Which if you receive in Louisiana, you cannot pay because if you pay a driving while suspended ticket, Louisiana will suspend your license for another year.

So it's very important if you ever received a ticket for that, that you go to court and get that matter reduced to a different charge. So those are the consequences on to be on the lookout for. Again, that's a bench warrant or an attachment where you raise a contempt bond or and or having your license suspended.

So if you have a matter that you have a question about feel free again to text or call me 504-233-8529 or you can schedule a free strategy session and a traffictickettalks.com. Thank you and have a great day.
