Driving citation

I got a driving citation on November 8 for not making a complete stop at an intersection (which is debatable) and I still haven't received whatever paperwork they send in the mail. I've gotten speeding tickets in the past and received mailed instructions on what to do - pay bill or go to traffic court. On the citation I had to sign, the officer wrote down a traffic court date of January 10. I'm thinking of showing up to traffic court on that date and let's see what happens.
