Answer 2

Gease Louise when the officer told you that you should have asked at that time and got it straight from the horses mouth.

You will have to go to the court house an file for one at a cost and then they will let you know a court date. This is not something that just gets taken care of in one day.

I wish you and your family the best and keep safe. ;o)
