Removing an Arrest Warrant in Murphy Municipal Court: A Process Built on Trust and Cooperation
Help With Traffic Tickets And Warrants In Murphy Municipal Court
Discovering you have an active arrest warrant from Murphy Municipal Court can be a distressing experience. The thought of potential arrest and the uncertainty of what comes next can be overwhelming. Fortunately, for most outstanding traffic tickets and Class C misdemeanor warrants, an attorney can intervene effectively to remove the warrant and begin the process of protecting your record.
At Beltz Law Group, we specialize in navigating the procedures of courts like Murphy Municipal Court, located at 206 N. Murphy Road, Murphy, TX 75094. We want to clearly explain our process for warrant removal and emphasize the crucial partnership between you and your legal counsel to achieve the best outcome.
The Appearance Bond: Your Attorney’s Promise to the Court
In the majority of cases involving warrants for minor offenses (often called “alias” warrants where guilt has not yet been determined), the first and most critical step we take is to file an appearance bond with the Murphy Municipal Court.
An appearance bond is a formal, written promise made by your attorney to the court. It signifies that:
- Your Warrant Will Be Lifted: Upon the bond’s acceptance by the court, the warrant for your arrest is immediately recalled. This removes the immediate threat of arrest and allows you to move forward with peace of mind.
- Future Court Dates Will Be Attended: The bond explicitly guarantees that your attorney will ensure your presence (or their own, on your behalf, when permitted) at all future court dates related to the case until it is fully resolved.
The Attorney-Client Partnership: A Relationship of Trust
It’s vital for clients to understand the significance of this appearance bond. When Beltz Law Group posts a bond for you, a strong legal and ethical connection is formed between our firm and your case. We are both linked to the case until it is formally disposed of by the court.
The NISI Hearing: Why Your Cooperation is Crucial

Our promise to the court is a serious one. If, for any reason, our commitment to ensure appearance is broken (for example, if a client fails to cooperate with instructions leading to a missed court date that requires the client’s presence), the court can initiate a process called a NISI hearing.
During a NISI hearing, the Murphy Municipal Court can sue the attorney (or the bonding company, if applicable) for the full amount of the bond posted, along with any additional court costs and fees incurred from suing the attorney. This legal action can be substantial.
This potential consequence underscores why your complete and active cooperation is absolutely essential throughout the process. Our ability to honor our promise to the court and successfully resolve your case is a relationship built on mutual trust. We will communicate clearly with you about all court dates, required documents, and necessary actions, and your timely response and adherence to these instructions are paramount.
Resolving Your Case and Protecting Your Record
Once your attorney has filed the appearance bond and the warrant is removed, we will proceed to work diligently on your case. The case is considered officially “disposed of” by the court once a plea (usually “not guilty”) is formally entered by your attorney, and a resolution is reached. This resolution might involve:
- Dismissal: If legal grounds exist to challenge the charge.
- Deferred Disposition: A probationary period where, upon successful completion, the charge is dismissed and does not appear as a conviction on your record.
- Negotiated Plea: An agreement to a lesser offense or specific conditions that protect your record.
Thereafter, you will be responsible for fulfilling any conditions set by the court as part of the resolution (e.g., paying court costs, completing a defensive driving course). By adhering to these conditions, you ensure that your record remains clear, safeguarding your driving privileges and criminal history from a conviction.
Facing a warrant in Murphy Municipal Court can be intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Beltz Law Group is here to provide the expertise, communication, and dedicated representation needed to resolve your warrant properly and protect your future.

Hi,
My name is Ryan. Today I was pulled over in a “routine traffic stop” and was informed that I had a warrant out for my arrest in Murphy, TX records… I had trouble remembering the cause of this and initially thought it had to be a mistake. When I looked through my old “auto- related” mail, I couldn’t find the citation or info related to the matter. I was able to remember the citation after thinking about it and I had honestly forgotten all about it. At the time, I had planned on seeking a traffic attorney to help me get a deferred adjudication so that I could try and keep it off my record. I obviously failed to follow through with resolving the matter. I found a way to access the record online, and much to my surprise, there are now 3 warrants in my name and total almost $1000 for what was initially a speeding ticket. I did some digging online and found your web posting. I am contacting you to see if there is anyway I can resolve this matter aside from a guilty plea and paying the fees in full on all three counts now. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!! Thank you!!
Ryan
