Court Holiday, Thursday, December 25th

The Calaveras Superior Court will be closed.

TEXT Messaging SCAM

The Calaveras Superior Court has been made aware of an ongoing scam that uses fake text messages appearing to be sent by the Court or DMV that seek payment for unpaid traffic citations.

The Court and DMV does not and will not contact the public through text messages to make payments for traffic citations.

The public is cautioned not to provide financial or personal information If contacted via text or a phone call. The Court does not seek this information through texts or phone calls.

If you are unsure about having paid a traffic citation, please visit the Court’s website at Home | Superior Court of California | County of Calaveras and click on “Pay Fines.” From there, you will be directed to a site from which you may search and enter your corresponding information to see if there are any outstanding balances.

Failure To Appear

While serving on jury duty is often inconvenient, the right to a trial by jury is a privilege guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and the State of California. To preserve this constitutional right, it is important that you perform your civic duty and serve when called.

The law provides that the court may find a prospective juror in contempt of court, punishable by fine, incarceration or both. The court can also elect to impose monetary sanctions in lieu of imposing sanctions for contempt of court as follows:

First Violation $250
Second Violation $750
Third Violation $1,500

If you fail to appear for jury service, you must contact the Jury Commissioner’s Office as soon as possible to avoid imposition of monetary sanctions at (209) 754-6280 OR using the Jury Information E-Mail Form.
