I found an old document of my son's that relates to some tickets he received back in 2012. He was cited for 1) careless & prohibited driving 2) failure to appear 3) judicial find collection enhancement fun..(?) It's from a local law firm, addressed to my son, and it's headed "outstanding warrant notice". It says "the district court has entered an order against you; and you have unpaid court fees & fines in these court-ordered matters as listed below" & that is where they list the above citations. The amount at that time was $485.00. I know that my son most likely did not pay any of the fines; he probably paid no attention to the letters sent to him, and now (it's dated March 4, 2013, but the incident occurred on March 16, 2012) it's July of 2019. I'm not even clear on what happened, but I believe he hit a car (minimal damage) & was issued the first ticket for $195.00; and subsequently was issued the Failure to Appear- $275.00 & the Judicial Fine Collection Enhancement FUN (?) - $15.00, when he failed to do anything about it. I'm assuming the "prohibited driving" is because his license was suspended at the time.

now it has been like 8 years....and he's heard nothing else of this. I believe the people he hit were filing a lawsuit against him....& he just never moved at all on it, I'm not real sure. So here's the dilemma: He is currently serving time in a Federal prison (nothing related to this at all) and his release date isn't until 2022. I am already worried what will happen when he is released, because he will still have a suspended license ( from the more current event) and therefore will have no way to get around to look for work.

He will not have any money when released. This ordeal (current ordeal) has already cost myself & my family thousands of dollars...I can't even bear the thought of anyone having to put out even more money for him because of this. It just won't happen.

...how will he be able to get his license back? Is there a statute of limitations on collecting for these citations? He has been in and out of the court system for the last few years now. But this has not come up as far as I know. Bottom line is: is this going to be an issue when he is released? I know he has tried to get his license reinstated right before this last incident and wasn't able to. I'm extremely worried about this situation and need answers

Thank you
