Changing Arraignment Court Date

You can only change your arraignment date if you were noticed to appear by the Court.  If you need to change your arraignment date contact a Court Clerk at 209-257-2604 no less than 48 working hours prior to your court date.  Only the defendant can change the arraignment date. You cannot change any other court date(s) on any criminal case.  If you have an attorney, contact your attorney for assistance.

Failing to Appear in Court

If you fail to appear in Court, the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.  If you think you have a warrant, or for further information, you may call 209-57-2604.

Clearing my Warrant

If this court has issued a warrant for your arrest, you must surrender yourself to your local law enforcement agency before 10:00 a.m.  If the court indicates on the warrant "bail may be forfeited" this means you can pay the amount of the bail to clear the warrant.  Do not contact the court regarding surrendering yourself.  The Amador County Jail is located at 700 Court Street, Jackson, CA 95642, and their phone number is 209-223-6500.

Jail/Inmate Information

The Amador County Jail is operated by the Sheriff's Department, not the Court.  For information regarding inmates and arrested persons, you may call 209-223-6500.
