HOW WE HELP YOU FIGHT YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR TRAFFIC TICKET
When you receive a ticket or citation, you must either appear to court on your court date or pay your fine before your court date. A failure to appear (FTA) is given for failing to do either of the two after you have received a citation from a police officer.
A failure to appear in Georgia will result in the suspension of your driver’s license and a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
