Frequently asked questions

Can traffic school help with a Henderson ticket?

In many cases completing an approved traffic safety course can reduce demerit points or help resolve an eligible Nevada ticket, but rules apply. Confirm options with the court on your citation.

What happens if I miss the deadline on a Henderson citation?

Missing the deadline can lead to added penalties and, in some cases, a warrant. Respond by the deadline printed on your citation, even if only to request a hearing or more time.
