What do I do for Misdemeanor processing?
Misdemeanor Citation processing is done in Records and Identification from 7a.m. --- 7p.m. Monday --- Friday only on the date assigned when the citation was issued. Persons attempting to report for processing on other than their assigned will not be processed. In order to be processed on your assigned date you must have the pink copy of your Citation in your possession. If you do not have your pink copy, you may obtain a copy from the General Sessions Court Clerk's Office located in the lower level of the Criminal Justice Center in ROOM LL-81. This must be done before reporting to Records and Identification for processing. If ordered to report directly to Records and Identification by any Judge of the General Sessions Courts, report to the clerk at the Citation window and sign in. Records and Identification staff cannot process you until the required paperwork arrives from the courtroom by courier. These paperwork deliveries are usually made once per hour. Once your paperwork is received from the court, it will be processed and you will be called by a staff member for fingerprinting and photographing as soon as possible.
