What is the bail amount?

If you want to fight your ticket through a Trial by Written Declaration you must first pay the bail amount to initiate the process. The bail amount is the fine for your ticket which must be paid directly to the court. It does not include the court traffic school fee and is stated on your courtesy notice from the court. You may call the court if you don’t know what your bail amount is. The court will refund you the bail amount when your case is dismissed.

	What if I can’t pay the bail amount?
	If you need more time you can file for an extension with the court or you may send a letter called an O.R. release also referred to as a release on your “own recognizance”. If you need assistance or details about the form please feel free to contact FIX A FINE at (855) 349-2346.

	Can I pay the bail amount with a credit card?
	Most courts only accept check or money order for the bail amount; however, you may want to make sure you check with the court to ensure the court allows you to pay the bail amount with a credit card.
