You may now schedule an appearance in court convenient to YOUR schedule!

Kearny Mesa Traffic Court:

Important points to remember:

  • Your priority appointment covers ONLY the case(s) you have scheduled. You may not be heard on additional cases.
  • If you have more than one case, call the Kearny Mesa Traffic Court at (858) 634-1800, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m., to schedule your appointment.
  • Scheduling an appointment is NOT a continuance. If you have a current court date that is earlier than your appointment, your appointment will NOT prevent or delay civil assessment, collection referral, or warrant issuance.
  • Failure to appear may result in the issuance of a warrant, new charges, or the imposition of a $100 civil assessment penalty added to the original bail pursuant to Penal Code §1214.1, and referral to a collection agency. In addition, you may be subject to wage garnishments, tax refund intercept, and bank levies through the Franchise Tax Board Court Ordered Debt Collection Program (see Cases in Collection). If your case has been referred to a collection agency you must personally appear at the courthouse during business office hours to schedule a courtroom appearance.

ANY WARRANT, CIVIL ASSESSMENT, OR LICENSE HOLD WILL REMAIN UNTIL A COURT APPEARANCE IS MADE.
