TMCLR 3.4
RECALL OF WARRANTS
AND RESETTING OF CASES
A. If a defendant fails to appear for a hearing before the
court and the defendant thereafter complies with each of the
below listed requirements and pays an administrative
processing fee of $100.00, the Clerk of the Court shall be
ordered and authorized to recall the warrant, or if the
warrant has not yet been processed, to not process the
warrant, and the Clerk of the Court is further authorized to
issue a new notice of hearing for the defendant.
Requirements for Warrant Recall and Rescheduling:
(1) The defendant shall personally appear and provide an
explanation for his/her failure to appear for court and
provide documentary support if appropriate.
(2) The defendant shall not have had his/her warrant
recalled previously in this manner on this particular case.
(3) The Clerk of the Court shall include in the court docket
language reflecting the defendant's failure to appear, the
defendant's explanation for the failure to appear; and the
Clerk of the Court shall insert in the court's file a copy
of the documentary support for the reasons for the
defendant's failure to appear. If all of the requirements
listed above have been met, the Clerk of the Court shall
recall the warrant or shall not process a warrant which has
been ordered and not yet issued, and the Clerk of the Court
shall issue a new notice of hearing.
B. Warrants shall not be recalled by the Clerk of the Court,
nor shall there be a delay in processing warrants unless
each of the above requirements have been met, except as
otherwise ordered by the court in open session, unless the
defendant posts bail according to the court's current bail
schedule or the schedule as outlined in CrRLJ 3.2 (m). The
court's schedule shall supersede the schedule published at
CrRLJ 3.2 (m).
C. This method of recalling warrants and resetting cases
shall not apply to Assault 4° (DV), DUI, Malicious Mischief
(DV), or Violation of a Court Order or Harassment unless,
for good cause shown, approved by the court in writing.
