Criminal | Superior Court of California | County of Tuolumne
If a bench warrant has been issued, the clerk’s office CANNOT schedule another appearance date.  The defendant must surrender to the county jail for processing on the bench warrant.

Bail Refunds

Refunds for cash bail posted in a criminal case are processed automatically upon order of the Court. It takes approximately six to eight weeks from the date of the court order to receive your refund.
The Court will mail the refund check payable to the depositor named, and the address provided, on the cash bail receipt.

Blood Alcohol Results

You may be able to obtain your blood alcohol test results by contacting the District Attorney’s office prior to your court date. You may contact them at 423 North Washington Street, Sonora, CA  95370 or by calling (209) 588-5450

Court Appointed Counsel

At the arraignment, if the defendant wants to be represented by an attorney, but cannot afford one, a request can be made for a court appointed attorney.  If the court determines the defendant meets the qualifications, an attorney will be appointed.  When the court appoints a public defender, or other counsel, the matter will be referred to the Tuolumne County Office of Revenue Recovery to determine your ability to pay a portion or all of your attorney’s fees.  That determination is subject to court review upon your request.  Such an order has the same force and effect as a civil judgment.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
This means California’s Native American children were more than three times more likely than white children, and more than 12 times more likely than Asian children, to have their legal relationship with their biological parents severed by the time they turned 18. 
High‑Level Factors Contributing to Disproportionalities 
The disproportionate and disparate involvement of some racial/ethnic groups in California’s child welfare system is concerning because race/ethnicity alone is not a determining factor of the need for child welfare system involvement. The causes of these disproportionalities and disparities are complex and nuanced, reflecting challenges and risk factors that certain groups are more likely to experience. In this section, we describe some broader, high‑level social and economic factors—beyond the child welfare system itself—that may contribute to why certain racial/ethnic groups are disproportionately represented in the child welfare system today. 
While the factors described in this section reflect some issues impacting families, the child welfare system makes decisions on a case‑by‑case basis and every case is unique. Each family is dealing with its own set of circumstances, risks, challenges, and supports/lack thereof, and each county/individual social workers are making decisions based on their own experiences and training. This individualized decision‑making in many ways represents a strength of the system, while simultaneously adding complexity in terms of understanding the drivers of disproportionalities at the system level.
Disproportionate Exposure to Risk Factors
Some Groups More Likely to Be in Low‑Income Families and Experience Broader Risk Factors. Certain individual, family, and community characteristics increase the likelihood that child maltreatment may occur. For example, as shown in Figure 7, one factor associated with higher risk for maltreatment is economic stress. Black, Native American, and Hispanic/Latino communities in California are more likely to experience poverty, as shown in Figure 12, and deep poverty. Increased exposure to poverty is in part due to policies and practices that disproportionately impacted these communities over time. For example, discriminatory housing and lending practices significantly reduced Black families’ ability to accumulate wealth.
Guide to Protective Orders | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Not try to find the location of anyone protected by the order
Not have guns, firearms, or ammunition
The judge may issue a Criminal Protective Order – Domestic Violence (CR-160) or Criminal Protective Order – Other Than Domestic Violence (CR-161), depending on what the defendant is charged with. If that happens, the defendant will get a copy of the CPO of the order in court. Usually, this happens at their first court date (the arraignment).

Some CPOs can be canceled (dismissed) when the criminal case ends. To find out, look at the CPO in the case. If "Order Under Penal Code section 136.2" is checked, the CPO may be canceled (dismissed) early if the defendant's case is finished before the expiration date listed on the form.
 

Victims or witnesses can get a copy of the CPO from the Victim Witness Assistance Center or the prosecutor’s office to learn more. If the 
A judge can issue a new protective order if the person is convicted
If the defendant is convicted of the crime, a judge may issue a CPO at the time of sentencing, including if the defendant is put on probation. The defendant will get notice of the protective order at the time of sentencing.
If the victim of the crime is not in court at the time of sentencing, they may need to contact the Victim Witness Assistance Center or prosecutor’s office to learn whether a CPO was issued and to get a copy. The CPO may be valid for up to 10 years.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Are there state programs for which the Legislature would like to be able to measure and track any reduction in child maltreatment for families who participate, and what would be the feasibility of such an effort? For example, if the state were to consider future cash payments to Family Maintenance and Emergency Response caseloads—similar to the temporary payments that the state implemented in response to the COVID‑19 pandemic—how could the Legislature assess any reduction in maltreatment as a result of these cash payments? What data collection would be needed? What additional resources, if any, would DSS need to collect and report this information? 
For programs such as tax credits and housing assistance for which existing national research already has demonstrated a link to reduced child maltreatment (as described above in the box Programs and Policies Associated With Reducing the Risk of Child Maltreatment), how can the state ensure that eligible families have access to them and are opting in? For example, how could the state more effectively target CalEITC outreach and support Volunteer Income Tax Assistance efforts? 
Are there economic and concrete support programs that are particularly effective at reaching groups disproportionately involved with the child welfare system? How could those programs be improved to help mitigate disparities in child welfare system involvement and outcomes? 

Future Decision‑Making Around Augmentations or Reductions to Cash Assistance and Other Concrete Supports Could Consider Impacts on Child Maltreatment. When the Legislature considers future augmentations or reductions to programs such as CalWORKs, CalEITC, housing assistance, Medi‑Cal, child care, and other programs providing concrete supports, the Legislature could consider what impact those changes could have on the risk or mitigation of child maltreatment. If child maltreatment reporting were incorporated into various state programs (as described in the preceding paragraph), these data would provide the Legislature with even more relevant and state‑specific measures to consider when evaluating the merits of various program changes. As with any state program, a more comprehensive understanding of impacts is beneficial to the Legislature as it considers the trade‑offs inherent to policymaking.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
To inform the redesign, DSS will conduct focus groups with various stakeholders beginning in fall 2023 through spring 2024 “to ensure the online training provides the most upstream and supportive content to mandated reporters for having the necessary resources to adequately report only when necessary.”
Neglect: Definition and Data
Statutory Definition of General Neglect May Be Broadly Interpreted and Confused With Conditions of Poverty and Other Factors. California law defines neglect as one form of child maltreatment. Although the law specifies that a parent’s economic disadvantage does not itself constitute general neglect, the definition nonetheless may be broadly interpreted. For example, OCAP’s standard mandated reporter training module describes some examples of neglect to include failing to provide enough healthy food and drink, failing to provide clothes that are appropriate to the weather, failing to ensure adequate personal hygiene, and exposing a child to unsafe/unsanitary environments. Within these parameters, individuals working with children may have difficulty distinguishing between a family’s need for support (due to poverty and other risk factors) or need for child welfare system involvement. 
Guidance and Protocol Changes Resulting From Recent Legislative Actions Beginning Implementation. Given the complex relationship between poverty and interpretations of neglect, the Legislature in 2022 enacted AB 2085 and SB 1085, which aim to distinguish reportable neglect from a family’s challenges related to experiencing poverty (as described in the box above titled "Recent Bills Aim to Distinguish Poverty From Reportable Neglect"). Ultimately, outcomes of these statutory amendments will depend on changes in practice. To this end, in December 2023, DSS issued updated guidance to county welfare directors in accordance with these new laws. Specifically, All‑County Letter 23‑105 encourages local child welfare agencies to: refer families with economic needs to available services; develop clear policies and procedures for determining what constitutes “economic disadvantage,” and when a child may be at substantial risk of suffering serious physical harm or illness; and otherwise review their existing policies and procedures to align with these legislative provisions.
State‑Level Aggregated Data Around Underlying Causes of Neglect Are Limited. As shown by Figure 1, the majority of families who become involved with the child welfare system are referred to the system due to allegations of neglect.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Rates of deep poverty—that is, families with incomes lower than 50 percent of the federal poverty level—also vary by race/ethnicity. In California, Black, Native American, and Hispanic/Latino children are more likely than children of other races/ethnicities to experience this more extreme level of deprivation. For example, in 2021, Black children were roughly three times more likely than white children to experience deep poverty (16 percent compared to 5 percent). 
Cumulative Lifetime System Involvement Also Disproportional and Disparate. Recent research on cumulative child welfare involvement of California’s 1999 birth cohort found nearly one‑in‑two Black and Native American children experienced some level of child welfare system involvement (meaning they were at least the subject of an investigated allegation) by the time they turned 18 (compared to around 29 percent of Hispanic/Latino children, 22 percent of white children, and 13 percent of Asian/Pacific Islander children). This means Black and Native American children are more than twice as likely as white children to have experienced some level of child welfare system involvement by the time they turn 18. 

Racial Disparities Persist in Outcomes. In addition to disproportionate and disparate representation of certain groups’ involvement with all levels of the child welfare system, disparities in terms of child welfare outcomes also are well documented. For example, the same research referenced in the preceding paragraph also found that 3.2 percent of Black children in California and 3.8 percent of Native American children in California experienced termination of parental rights, compared to 1.3 percent of white children (and 0.8 percent and 0.3 percent for Hispanic and Asian children, respectively). This means California’s Native American children were more than three times more likely than white children, and more than 12 times more likely than Asian children, to have their legal relationship with their biological parents severed by the time they turned 18. 
High‑Level Factors Contributing to Disproportionalities 
The disproportionate and disparate involvement of some racial/ethnic groups in California’s child welfare system is concerning because race/ethnicity alone is not a determining factor of the need for child welfare system involvement.

If you fail to pay an installment on or before your due date, the full unpaid balance will become due immediately. If you are in default, you do not have to go back to the judge to see about paying your fine. You can work it out at Revenue Recovery without having to go back to Court.

What happens if I fail to pay my vehicle code traffic fine?

If you fail to pay your fine, your driver's license will be suspended. Your license will remain suspended until you pay the fine in full plus any fines that are assessed. If you are caught driving on a suspended license, the police will impound your car for a minimum of 30 days in addition to the penalty for failure to pay your original fine.
