Please help!

I have a ticket for Improper Tag in Florida, Pinellas county. The state statue is 320.261. This is a criminal violation and i have been summoned to court. Please tell me how serious this is and what can i do to help myself?

Sitation: The tag is from my old car which i sold a month prior to purchasing my current car from a private party.

Thank you!

Too much reading for me this morning.
