My husband recieved 1 ticket for doing 85 in 55 one day then a couple of days later recieved 2 tickets one for 97 in 55 and the other was for reckless driving..when we went to court for all 3 tickets, he was told he could not take his cell phone into the court room and had to return it to his car and just his luck he was the first person called. we sat there until all of the cases were called and after we noticed that his name was not called we were told that he was about the 1st or 2nd that was called, well the judge called the ballif and told him to take him away to jail, I was asking what I needed to do and the judge said that he would set him up for bond on the reckless driving for 1300 and before we left we asked him would this take care of all the tickets he said YES, we went down stairs I just so happen to have cash on me just in case and he said as long as I paid cash that he did not have to sit in jail, well the lady at the clerk of courts who wrote the reciept, i asked her to put on there that this would take care of all the tickets, she told the ballif to go back up stairs and verify this with the judge and he did verify that this was accurate, she did write on the reciept that this took care of all tickets on the date he had court for all 3 tickets, well about 3 days later we recieved a letter in the mail stating that he had an outstanding ticket and he had so many days to go up there and pay it and if he did not that his liscense would be suspended. on the day of court he had all 3 of those tickets and the same time and date to take care of them that was the purpose of him even going. I wanted to know since the judge said that, that bond that we paid would take care of all of the tickets, Does it take care of ALL 3 tickets or is he obligated to go up there and pay the 450 fee for one of those 3 tickets that he got.

You can ask the judge to clarify but if he still says pay, then I would suggest you do that and avoid any further hassle.
