How do I come in to see a Judge for a ticket and/or criminal offense?
• Generally speaking, walk-in court appearances (arraignments) are taken every Monday through Thursday on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 8:00 a.m. People are checked in until approximately 10:00 a.m. or until the Judge determines that their caseload is full. The line begins forming outside the building at approximately 7:30 a.m. each morning. There are some rare occasions when the regular schedule may have to be cancelled due to unavailability of Judges. To be sure that a Judge is available the date you want to appear, please call (505-541-2224) in advance. Walk-in arraignments are not held on Fridays.
