Some cases for specific violations may be dismissed depending on various legal circumstances. Usually if the violation is corrected and/or proof is shown by the appearance date on your citation, the case can be dismissed. 

FAIL TO MAINTAIN FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
If you receive a citation for Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility and you had insurance on the date of the violation, you will need the following information to address this citation:

1. Verification of Insurance from Insurance Company  - once a citation is filed in Municipal Court, proof must come from the Insurance Company using this form or on the Company's letterhead where they are attesting to the fact the defendant did, in fact, have insurance on the date of the violation;
2. A copy of the citation with a plea recorded on the bottom, signed and dated; and
3. A copy of your Drivers' License.
4. There is no fee/fine associated with this type of dismissal.

Simply providing a copy of your insurance card is not accepted for the purposes of dismissal of this type of offense.
