A Nevada Citation To Appear And Show Cause is a court order given to an individual or entity to appear in a Nevada court to explain why a particular action should not be taken against them. It is typically issued by a Nevada court after a criminal complaint has been filed against the individual or entity. There are two types of Nevada Citations to Appear and Show Cause: a criminal citation and a civil citation. A criminal citation is issued when an individual has been accused of a crime. The citation requires the accused to appear in court to answer the charges against them. The accused must present their defense to the court to contest the charges. A civil citation is issued when an individual or entity is accused of a civil violation. The citation requires the accused to appear in court to explain why they should not be held liable for the alleged violation. The accused must present evidence to the court to support their argument. If the court finds the accused liable, they may be required to pay damages or other penalties.
