    Question When to File Form TR002 in Traffic Court

    My question involves traffic court in the State of: CA

    Hello. Should a person fill and send TR002 form (Written Not Guilty Plea/Request For Trial By Written Declaration) to court if he already has form TR-205 in hands (e.g. downloaded from the internet). Thanks!

    I have no idea what Form TR002 is. Do you have that form and is that the right number? If it's a local form, it could be designed to follow the CRC requirements.

    If you've not yet made a request for TBD, do you now what your bail amount is? You need the bail amount, prior to submitting the TR205, either from the Courtesy Notice or by contacting the clerk, or by looking it up. The California Rules of Court procedure is for you to make the request for TBD, for the clerk to set your trial at least 25 day into the future, tell you what the bail amount is, and provide the forms to you.

    So, it kind of depends on whether you want to accelerate or delay the process. I like delay, so I'd write the clerk requesting that the CRC procedure be followed, making sure to do this at least 5 days in advance of my due date, after delaying the due date as much as possible.

    You may find an example of this form here: http://www.stanct.org/sites/default/...03051610-1.pdf (page 2 of a packet, TR002 is mentioned at the bottom of the page). You may also find references to this form in a number of "TR-205 how-to" guides in internet. I think TR002 is one of possible ways for getting TR-205, I'm just not sure if it's necessary or not.

    In my case county is San Francisco, I've a form TR-205 downloaded from their site. I have no idea what the bail amount is, so I'm waiting Courtesy Notice. The deadline is Feb 25, so I'll wait 1 more week and then will make a call. But in general, if I receive Courtesy Notice by a mail in next few days, may I just send TR-205 by mail without calling clerks etc?

    That's why the county is important -- it's not a standard, statewide form. The form that the OP found is from Stanislaus county. I'm not aware of a similarly numbered form for San Francisco.

    Did I say the county was not important?

    Obviously not, but if you were more familiar with local practice you wouldn't have been so confused.

    Guys, thanks for your responses, may I just sent TR-205 (after getting a Courtesy Notice) to the court without making pre-requests and calling any clerks? Thanks.

    Assuming you have the bail amount, like from the Courtesy Notice, your TR205 will likely be accepted although you would have skipped a step as outlined in the California Rules of Court. This will mean your case will be resolved more expeditiously.

    Could you clarify which rule you're referring to saying "skipped a step as outlined in the California Rules of Court"? Is this a "make the request for TBD" from response #3 in this thread? If yes - what's the form?
