I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO CA AND 1 IS FOR A DUI TICKET AND THE OTHER IS A TROLLEY TICKET. BOTH ARE MISEDEAMANORS AND OVER 8 YEARS OLD. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY TROUBLE IN 8 YEARS.
Call the Clerk's office, some courts have same day (meaning you show up to court when the Clerk's office opens and you get added to the calendar that day) while others have a more involved scheduling system which requires you show up and you get a court date some time in the future.
