What if I don’t come to court on the trial date?

You may be arrested and required to post a surety bond to assure your appearance at the next court date. If you intentionally fail to appear in court, you could be found in contempt of court which can include incarceration and/or fines. Please contact the Domestic Violence Victim Assistant for the Clarksville Police Department if you have a conflict with the trial date.
