Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

I have a court date in Los Angeles County for a failure to appear for a registration tag violation (my tag had not been received but the fee had been paid). I was to have responded with a sign-off on the "fix-it-ticket" or appeared in court, but I did neither in time. The mail I received from the Court indicates I may have to pay a fine of from $600 to $900. What recourse do I have when I appear before the judge this coming Thursday?
