Inclement weather in the Carolinas can make for anxious times. It’s more than just black ice and downed trees. If you have court appearance coming up, wondering what to do can be a problem.
If you have criminal charges pending or a scheduled court appearance date for DWI charges in Charlotte, failure to appear as directed can result in the issuance of an Order for Arrest or “OFA.”
The Clerk of Court may also record a Failure to Appear (FTA) that if reported back to NC DMV can result in problems with your driver’s license in North Carolina.
