If you were issued a summons with a court appearance date you have a conflict with, you can call the court to ask for up to a two week extension or you can file a motion with the court asking for a continuance.  You may also be an 'Add-on' to our docket on Monday or Tuesday mornings, 7:30-9 a.m. before the appearance date on your summons.

First, you may want to call the court to find out the status of your case.  Then proceed with one of the following: 

1. Come to one of our 'Add-on' dockets which are Monday and Tuesday 7:30-9 a.m.  
2. If you are unable to do that and a warrant has issued, you may come to our front counter and post the bond amount set on your case and get a new upcoming court date.  
3. Mail or fax a motion to the judge including your reason for missing the court date along with your request of how to take care of your case.
4. If you missed a court date on a traffic case call the clerks at 303-658-2250 and they can further advise you of your options.
