Q: If you have failure to appear in court will they suspended your DL

A: Whether or not your failure to appear in court will result in a license suspension depends on what type of case you failed to appear for. For example, if this was a traffic related matter, then yes, the court will notify the DMV of your failure to appear and it will likely result in a license suspension from the DMV. Failures to appear or FTA's are the most common type of license suspension matters and are also the easiest to fix. Basically, you need to go to the courthouse or call the courthouse (check their online website first) to request to add the matter back to calendar. You must then appear for that court date and ask for the FTA to be recalled and this will most likely remove the hold or suspension on your license. If you need to check on the status of your license, you can do so at the DMV website, www.dmv.ca.gov or by calling the Mandatory Actions Unit at (916) 657-6625.

A: Yes, in California, if you fail to appear in court for a traffic violation, the court may notify the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to suspend your driver's license. This is known as a "civil assessment" or "failure to appear" (FTA) suspension.

When you receive a traffic citation in California, you are required to either pay the fine or appear in court on the date specified on the ticket. If you fail to do either, the court will consider this a failure to appear and may impose additional penalties, including:

1. Additional fines and fees

2. A bench warrant for your arrest

3. Notification to the DMV to suspend your driver's license

To have your license reinstated, you will need to resolve the issue with the court, pay all fines and fees, and provide proof of compliance to the DMV. You may also be required to pay a license reinstatement fee to the DMV.

It's important to address traffic citations promptly to avoid additional penalties and the suspension of your driver's license.
