Re: traffic ticket

In most cases like this, the initial ticket had a court date on it, and when you did not pay the ticket or appear in court on the first court date

the court probably issued a warrant. Eventually the clerk probably sent a notice to the Missouri Department of Revenue that you failed to take care of the ticket and your privilege to drive in Missouri would have been suspended until you took care of it and the court clerk provided a certificate of compliance to the department of revenue. I'm not saying that this definitley happened in your wpecific case, but it is likely. An attorney could look into it,give you more specific advicem and handle it for you at a modest cost. I could help you if you do not already have an attorney.
