If the clerk receives the defendant’s Request for Trial by Written Declaration (form TR-205) and bail by the due date, the clerk must deliver or mail to the arresting officer’s agency Notice and Instructions to Arresting Officer (form TR-210) and Officer’s Declaration (form TR-235) with a copy of the Notice to Appear and a specified return date for receiving the officer’s declaration. After receipt of the officer’s declaration, or at the close of the officer’s return date if no officer’s declaration is filed, the clerk must submit the case file with all declarations and other evidence received to the court for decision.
(8) Case and time standard
The clerk must deliver or mail the Decision and Notice of Decision (form TR-215) within 90 calendar days after the due date. Acts for which no specific time is stated in this rule must be performed promptly so that the decision and Notice of Decision can be timely delivered or mailed by the clerk. Failure of the clerk or the court to comply with any time limit does not void or invalidate the decision of the court, unless prejudice to the defendant is shown.
