To plead not guilty, complete the Request for Arraignment and Trial on Same Date, MO-012 form, and submit it to the court. Bail will not be required at this time. You will be notified of your arraignment and court trial date by mail.
If your ticket contains a vehicle code (VC) violation, you may be eligible to request a Trial by Written Declaration. Review the Trial by Written Declaration - Information and Instructions, MO-051 form, then complete a Request for Trial by Written Declaration - Infraction, TR-205 form, and submit it along with full bail to the court. Only tickets with vehicle code (VC) infractions are eligible for trials by written declaration. Requests may be mailed via USPS or dropped in the express drop box located outside the court building.
