What happens if a minor receives a traffic ticket?
When a juvenile (under age 18) receives a citation, they are required to appear in Court if they live within Tehama County. A Courtesy Notice will be mailed to the juvenile and their parents advising them of the appearance date. Please contact the clerk’s office at the phone number at the bottom of the citation if you don’t receive the notice. On the Court date, the juvenile must appear with a parent or legal guardian.
