Recap: shoplifting charge in May, under $100, signed papers saying I would get a courtdate in 1-2 WEEKS.
I'm really worried that the paperwork for my case somehow got misplaced. Will they hold me responsible? I haven't received any mail. I've called the office. I've checked the online public access website.
It's been three months, and I haven't heard a thing. I mean, surely, I would've heard from the by now. Is it possible that they've sent something, but it was somehow lost? If so, is there a chance that there is a warrant out for my arrest? Will it be my fault if I received no information about it? No mail, no public record, not on database...
I start school in 1.5 weeks, and will be in a different county...
Will it be my fault?

If you've called the court and there is nothing under your name, it's unlikely that you've been charged yet. Sometimes it takes time, though, for a charge to be initiated.
Was a police report taken? Is there any reason you can't continue to check with the court after you move? -

Yes, a police report was taken. Do you have an estimate of how long it will take? A lot of people on this site get their court dates really fast.

And a lot get them really slowly.
