Filing A Surety Bond In Irving Municipal Court

Irving Municipal Court requires that an attorney file a surety bond to get a warrant lifted. The surety bond is a promise made between the lawyer and the court. That promise is to make sure that no further court dates are missed by having the attorney swear under oath that they will appear on your behalf in order to resolve the case. If the promise is broken, then the traffic tickets can go back into warrant status and the attorney can be sued under the bond for the amount of the fine owed in a civil proceeding referred to as a “Nisi Hearing.”

 

Client Expectations

If you currently have outstanding warrants in Irving Municipal Court for tickets it is important that you handle the cases in a way that does not cause serious permanent damage to your driving record. Many people each day make huge mistakes related to their driving record as a result of handling warrants or traffic tickets improperly. Listed below are just a few things you should not do when faced with outstanding warrants for traffic tickets in Irving Municipal Court:

• Paying Off The Tickets Online Or At The Municipal Court Window – If you choose to pay off the warrants, those warrants must be treated as convictions and reported to The Department of Public Safety as such. Traffic ticket convictions are not to be taken lightly. We have seen many of our clients lose good paying jobs due to background checks done by their employers showing that they have suspended license issues as a result of mishandling a traffic ticket.
• Doing Jail Time For Tickets In Irving Jail – Doing jail time is only worse than paying off tickets because you have your liberty taken away from you in an attempt to save money only to find out that you still will owe money to Texas DPS due to the convictions after you get out. Don’t do it. It the worst possible option in today’s heavily regulated government. You will not save money doing jail time.
