Question

How can I get a failure to appear capias removed without an attorney. I was in hospital on court day, notified court, faxed document I was to present to judge (my approval to homeschool from superintendent.) and proof I was in hospital. Juvenile judge issued no bond capias on me anyway.



Answer

You could arrange to surrender on your own on the outstanding

warrant and then attempt to convince (from your detention site) the judge who issued the capias to reverse his or her no bond ruling and set the matter

(failure to appear) for a hearing while releasing you on your personal recognizance.

Much better, of course, would be for you to hire a competent

criminal defense counsel to represent you in this as well as any other related matters.
