If you fail to pay a traffic ticket/citation or to appear in court on the hearing date (or have your attorney appear on your behalf) the court may issue a warrant for your arrest—and may add the additional charge of failure to appear, which will include additional fines and other potential consequences.
In Nevada, if you fail to pay a traffic ticket or citation, or if you do not appear in court on the scheduled hearing date, the court has the authority to issue a bench warrant for your arrest. This can also result in an additional charge of 'failure to appear,' which can lead to further fines and consequences. The failure to appear charge is separate from the original traffic violation and can compound the legal issues and financial penalties you face. It is important to address traffic citations promptly and to communicate with the court if you are unable to attend a hearing or pay a fine. An attorney can often appear in court on your behalf if you are unable to do so, which can help avoid the issuance of a warrant or additional charges.
