My boyfriend got a speeding ticket and he was summoned. He moved and turns out he missed his court date. How can we ask to get a second summons?

Hello e:

You can ask, but they're not going to give it to him. He's going to have to make a personal appearance at the courthouse now.

Call the prosecutor and talk to him. He might let you either pay the ticket plus court cost and they drop it and he wouldn't have to appear. Sometimes they put a warrant out with bond equalling amount of ticket and he could go down to the jail and turn himself in, get booked, bond out and get a new court date. When he goes to court, most likely they'll just take his bond for ticket cost and maybe make him pay some court cost as well. Usually not much, sometimes they are depending on court. The prosecutor might even tell him when they are having traffic court and tell him to show then and talk to judge and if the prosecutor recommends it, the judge will usually withdraw warrant and give him his fine.

I'd say call prosecutor and talk to them about it. They can't arrest him over the phone.
