Suspension of License

In Arkansas failure to appear in District Court can result in a driver’s license suspension. Three things will result from “missin court”.

  1. The prosecutor pursuing the charge of Failure to Appear against you. See A.C.A. 5-54-120.
  2. You will have your license suspended until you appear in court and complete your sentence.
  3. You will have to pay a reinstatement fee to get your license back.

See Generally A.C.A. 16-17-131.

The moral of the story is: do not be “missin court”.
