You should call the courthouse and talk to someone in the criminal clerk's office. You need to find out if you missed a court date and have a warrant outstanding.

Contact the Clerk of Court and they will be able to tell you. It should be in the county where you were stopped.

You must contact the clerk of court in your county immediately to first change your address so that you'll get all future notice of appearances and to find out what has happened with your case and to determine whether there is already a warrant out for your arrest for failure to appear.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon before a warrant gets issued for your arrest, and because you have only 10 days to save your license.

The Court will likely send your ticket and your first scheduled court date to the last address you have on record with the Secretary of State. If that is not your current mailing address, then you need to confirm exactly where you got the ticket - that will determine which court has jurisdiction. For example, if you got the ticket in Bloomfield Hills, it would be in the 48th District Court.

If you didn't give a correct address, and the notice goes to that address and you don't show for court, a warrant will issue. I suggest that you go to the courthouse near you and ask the clerk to run your name. In this day and age, most court clerks can access most courts in the state.

You should check the court where you were stopped and see if your name appears.
