Some Kansas Court and judges will accept a football game (that you are playing in) as a reasonable excuse to explain your absence, and some will not. Your attorney can assess the particular court you are to appear in. If your attorney appears, that may be acceptable to some courts, even if you are jsut a spectator at the gaem. But, just not appearing in person or by counsel will get you revoked. If you have not yet hired counsel, do so very soon. You may email me if you need a referral. You will need to tell me your: name, contact information, court, case number and the date or your revocation hearing.

Good luck
