What Will Happen When A Warrant Is Issued?
Texas Warrant Roundup
According to Criminal Procedure § 15.23, arrests can be made any day at any time after a warrant of arrest is issued. As per Criminal Procedure § 15.24, all reasonable means can be used to make an arrest. What’s more, a police officer can arrest you without being in possession of the actual arrest warrant.
Texas police take part in statewide roundups dubbed “Texas Warrant Roundup” several times yearly. The goal of these roundups is to catch people with outstanding warrants. Texas police are usually highly motivated during these roundups. They visit homes and workplaces to make arrests and take suspects to jail.
If you fail to appear in court, you may be a victim of these roundups. Besides being arrested in front of your family, neighbors, or co-workers, which can be very embarrassing, you can spend time in jail and face other consequences like losing your job. It’s better to clear the warrant before law enforcement officials come for you. A warrant lawyer in Fort Worth can help you avoid unnecessary inconveniences in your life and serious damage to your reputation.
