All parking tickets and all criminal and traffic tickets which have the words “MINOR MISDEMEANOR” printed on the top of your ticket may be paid without the necessity of a court appearance. The only exception is if your minor misdemeanor is for a moving violation and it is more than your second moving violation in the past 12 months. A court appearance is then required. All other tickets require a court appearance. If you must appear in court or wish to plead not guilty the date and time of your court appearance is indicated in the box in the lower right section of your ticket.
