Re: what does fta touch or strike mean

"FTA" is an abbreviation for "Failure To Appear" simply when someone misses a court date.

The sentencing varies from county to county and depends on the judge as well as the facts in the case also, what type of sentence the victim is recomending if any.

The Max is just under a year in county jail.

let me know if you have any other questions or would like to give me some more info of the case so that i could make a better estimate.
