What a Failure to Appear Means

A failure to appear charge generally means a person is accused of missing a required court appearance.

A probation violation allegation means authorities believe a condition of probation was not followed.

Both allegations must still be addressed through the court process.

A booking record confirms an arrest took place.

It is not a finding of guilt.

Every defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Judges determine whether release conditions, probation matters, or other issues will be addressed at future hearings.
