Lost Traffic Ticket in Nebraska
Determine Where Ticketed in Nebraska
Pinpoint where you were located. If you can't recall the exact area, determine the county. Once you have this information, call the County Court for that county. If the County Court has no record of your citation, try the Municipal Court near where you were cited.
Recalling the citing law enforcement agency will help in determining which court to call. As a rule, tickets cited by the Nebraska Highway Patrol and the Sheriff's Department go to county courts. Tickets issued by city police officers get filed with Municipal Courts.
Determine How You Will Plead
After you've retrieved your ticket information, decide on a plea. If you opt to plead guilty, submit your fine payment to the presiding court. Or, if you've decided to challenge your ticket, appear at the court on the day and time posted on your citation.
If you fail to respond, the court will not accept "I lost my ticket" as a valid excuse. Your NB driver's license will be suspended, and, in some instances, the court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
