Q: My license were suspended due to FTA from a citation received in August 2017, but they weren't suspended until Feb 2017.
I was given a citation in August 2017, and missed my court date. I never received anything in the mail about court or even anything about my license being suspended a few months later. I've looked up the citation number online and it's nowhere to be found. My license was suspended February of 2018 but I didn't find out until this year when I went to go renew my license at the DMV. I was told that I've met the required amount of time to have them reinstated, but am wondering if I have to get a FTA release form before paying the fine to DDS.
Also, I have been pulled over while driving since I received the citation and since the date of my suspension, but the officer never said anything about my license being suspended. I have the paper from DDS stating that I have a FTA from the county but no record from the county of said citation and no record of a missed court date.
A: TAKE CARE OF THE FTA.... IT NOT ONLY SUSPENDED YOUR LICENSE. YOU GOT A WHOLE WARRANT. You are going to have to pay the FTA or provide a good excuse to get potential fine excused. Take care of the FTA first or be in fear of warrants. I pray this helps.
