The points accrue (go on your record) when the conviction occurs, meaning that, until you are convicted the points aren't on your driving record, the three years starts running at the point you are convicted.
once I received a citation?
I'm sorry, I believe my question has been wrongly structured,

It is 3 years from the date you reinstated your driving privilege. You can always call the DMV Mandatory Actions Unit to confirm the exact date that happened.

your underlying lawyer should be able to assist you.
however, please remember there are 2 separate entities and DMV does not have to follow the court, and visa versa.

you should contact a local PI lawyer to guide you.
your lawyer should press the police and DA to file if there is evidence.
obviously, if you had insurance you would put it through that carrier.

This is called a dispatch recording and dispatch log (written). If you have a criminal case, the easiest way is to ask your attorney to request it from the District Attorney as part of case discovery.

I don't know the charges or facts in your case but often an officer misspelling your name on a form has nothing to do with how DMV spells your name. Go to DMV, see if your name is spelled correctly and try to obtain your license if possible. Good luck!

This likely belongs in the criminal law section instead of products liability. You can usually get a free attorney (public defender) for free if you cannot afford an attorney. There are also some self-help programs at the courts.
