Bail forfeiture means the ticket was paid and the case is closed. You're done.

thanks. im just wondering why there is no penalty for paying late and/or missing my court appearance.

An extension is not an court appearance date. It's a due date to pay your ticket. Believe it or not, the court DOES give a grace period in order to pay your tickets. Relax, if you WERE hit with the penalty for paying late, you'd be on here crying at just how high the ticket goes (think an additional $400).

However, if you'd like. I know the traffic supervisor at WLA. I can call her Monday and ask her to add it because you feel left out. Believe me, the court needs the money.
