How Warrants Are Issued In Plano

Attorney For Tickets In Plano

A warrant is issued in Plano for tickets that have gone past the appearance date listed on the citation.  When a traffic ticket or any other violation is issued in Plano, the actual citation lists a date in which a defendant must make an appearance in Plano Municipal Court to instruct the court how they wish to proceed.  If an appearance is not made, then the case can go into warrant status.  In many cases, Plano Municipal Court will issue a second violation referred to as a “Violation of Promise to Appear” ticket.

Again, when signing a ticket you are making a promise.  That promise is to contact the court.  If you violate that promise, then you can be issued a second violation.  In most cases Plano will always issue the violate promise to appear violation in addition to the underlying ticket you originally received.  Once this violation is issued it will also be in warrant status.  Therefore, be prepared to deal with two warrants instead of one.  Each violation will have an additional violate promise to appear violation as well.  For example, if you were pulled over and stopped for speeding, no insurance and no inspection, then you would also have an additional three violations attached to these.

Removing A Warrant In Plano Municipal Court

In order to get a warrant lifted in Plano Municipal Court, you must file a surety bond with the court.  A surety bond is a written promise between your lawyer, you and Plano Municipal Court.  Each party has their respective promise in the document.  The promises are as follows:

• Plano Municipal Court – Makes a promise to release the warrant and allow the attorney to appear for the defendant in open court.
• Plano Ticket Attorney – Promises to show up to all future court dates.
• Defendant – Promises not to miss any new court dates if required to attend
