San Antonio | Austin | Corpus Christi | San Marcos Warrant Roundup

THE GREAT TEXAS WARRANT ROUNDUP

A Texas Department of Public Safety program that has gained national notoriety over the past six years as a statewide warrant enforcement effort. Every year, more than 240 law enforcement agencies and departments across Texas come together to find and arrest those people who have active warrants as a result of not paying or settling their past due traffic tickets with the court. Skilled and experienced traffic ticket lawyers can help resolve your warrants.

YOU CAN’T HIDE

The Great Texas Warrant Roundup is specifically intended for those with outstanding traffic tickets; however, anyone with outstanding warrants—including for class C misdemeanors, parking tickets, city ordinance violations, other misdemeanors and felony cases—are at risk for immediate arrest. Law enforcement officials may come to your home, school or office and will arrest you on the spot if you have an outstanding warrant.

Warrant Roundup Phases

WARRANT ROUNDUP PHASE 1 – Just before The Great Texas Warrant Roundup begins, the State of Texas mails out thousands of notices statewide to people with active warrants. The letters warn that local law enforcement agencies are participating in the warrant roundup and provide information about how to contact their respective traffic ticket courts to pay outstanding ticket fines and warrants. Before the program officially starts, many of the ticket courts offer a two-week “grace period” so people can come down to the traffic ticket court and resolve their outstanding traffic ticket warrants. This is normally called “Phase 1” of the Great Texas Warrant Roundup.

WARRANT ROUNDUP PHASE 2 – After the grace period is over, the Great Texas Warrant Roundup officially begins and goes into “Phase 2”. In the second phase – which often lasts for several weeks – those who have outstanding warrants are eligible for immediate arrest on the spot. If arrested, they will be brought to court to answer for their warrants before a judge.

You have options during this time. While paying the ticket can get rid of the warrant, it can also mean your ticket gets reported to DPS and can go on your permanent driving record. Having a conviction on your driving record can cause your insurance premiums to skyrocket and can also result in points or a surcharge on your license.
