Generally, once a Warrant is issued, you are required to appear in court personally to recall it and take care of your case. If you have been advised that you may write to the traffic court and ask for the recall, you may wish to try a simple letter acknowledging that you missed the date and ask for a new court date to be set for you to appear. Good luck.

You should immediately file a Motion to Recall Bench Warrant and Request for Immediate Hearing, explaining why you missed the court date. Unless you have a history of previous failures to appear, you stand a good chance of having the request granted by a judge. I would strongly suggest that you consult with a Maryland criminal defense attorney regarding the warrant issue as well as potential defenses to the Driving While Suspended charge.
