Warrants in Rowlett Municipal Court: How an Attorney Can Get Your Warrants Lifted
Your Solution for Outstanding Traffic Tickets 214-321-4105
Having outstanding warrants in Rowlett for traffic tickets can be an incredibly nerve-wracking experience. The constant worry of potential arrest – whether you’re at work, on your way to the grocery store, or simply get pulled over for a minor traffic violation – can be a significant source of stress. While it might seem tempting to simply go to the Rowlett Municipal Court and “pay off” your warrant, beware of the hidden costs and long-term consequences of this approach.
If you simply pay a traffic ticket that is in warrant status, it will automatically go on your permanent driving record. This seemingly “quick fix” can lead to:
- Increased Insurance Rates: A conviction on your record can cause your car insurance premiums to skyrocket, costing you significantly more over time.
- Driver’s License Suspension: Accumulating convictions increases your risk of driver’s license suspension by the Department of Public Safety (DPS).
- State Surcharges: For certain offenses, a conviction can trigger costly state surcharges that must be paid to the DPS.
What you might think is a cheap and quick way to clear your warrant can actually cost you far more in the long run.
The Attorney Advantage: Lifting Warrants in Rowlett
At the Beltz Law Group, our experienced traffic attorneys in Rowlett are dedicated to getting your warrants lifted in a timely and strategic manner, while also working to protect your driving record. Our process leverages an attorney appearance bond, a professional guarantee to the court that differentiates our service from simply paying a cash bond or using a commercial bail bond company.
Rowlett Ticket Defense Attorney
Here’s how our process works to get your warrants lifted and resolve your case:
-
Filing an Attorney Appearance Bond:
- Once you retain our office, our attorney will file an appearance bond with the Rowlett Municipal Court. This bond is a formal promise to the court that our firm will appear at all future hearings on your behalf until your case is fully resolved.
- This is a critical step because by filing this bond, the court will then recall and lift your active warrant(s). This immediately removes the threat of arrest, allowing you to move forward with peace of mind.
- Unlike a cash bond, an attorney appearance bond typically does not require you to pay the full amount of the fine upfront to get the warrant lifted.
-
Scheduling a Hearing and Case Review:
- Once your warrants are lifted, we will then request a new hearing date for your case in Rowlett Municipal Court.
- At this hearing, our lawyer will diligently review your case with the Judge and prosecutor. We will assess all the details, examine the evidence, and identify the best possible strategy for your defense.
-
Seeking a Favorable Resolution for Your Citation:
- Our primary goal is to resolve your citation in a way that protects your permanent driving record. This often involves one of the following outcomes:
- Straight Dismissal: We will always first attempt to obtain a direct dismissal of the ticket, which is the most favorable outcome.
- Deferred Disposition: If a straight dismissal isn’t feasible, we will then try to request deferred adjudication (deferred disposition), assuming you are eligible. This involves a deferral fee paid to the court and a probationary period. If you successfully complete the conditions, the ticket will be dismissed and kept off your driving record, preventing negative impacts on your insurance rates and license status. The exact deferral fee will be determined when our lawyer goes to court and speaks with the Judge or prosecutor.
- Trial: In some instances, if a favorable resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, the case may proceed to trial, where we will vigorously defend you.
- Guilty/Not Guilty Plea: The case is considered “resolved” when it results in a dismissal, a deferred plea, or a finding of guilty or not guilty at trial.
- Our primary goal is to resolve your citation in a way that protects your permanent driving record. This often involves one of the following outcomes:
By retaining the Beltz Law Group, you benefit from our experience in navigating the Rowlett Municipal Court system and our commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for your traffic ticket, going beyond just lifting a warrant.
