Facing an active arrest warrant in Carrollton Municipal Court can be incredibly stressful. The constant worry of potential arrest – whether at home, work, or during a routine traffic stop – is a serious concern that demands immediate attention.

This article outlines the different options available to you when faced with a warrant, helping you make an informed decision on how to get it removed properly. After reading, if you would like to discuss your specific case with a legal professional, we invite you to CHAT WITH US ONLINE, fill out our warrant questionnaire, or call us to discuss your individual situation.

Options for Resolving Warrants in Carrollton:

1. Paying Off Warrants in Carrollton (Generally NOT Recommended):

   • The Problem: While it might seem like the quickest way to make a warrant disappear, simply paying off a traffic ticket in warrant status is often one of the biggest mistakes we see clients make. According to the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, particularly Article 27.14(c), paying the fine for an outstanding warrant can be counted by Carrollton Municipal Court as an admission of guilt.
   • The Consequences: This admission is then reported to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) as a conviction on your permanent driving record. Once a conviction is entered, there is virtually no way to have it reversed. This is where significant problems begin:
     • For example, if you paid off a “no insurance” ticket that was in warrant, that conviction will likely cause your driver’s license to be suspended indefinitely until you (1) provide Texas DPS with proof of a prepaid SR-22 insurance policy and (2) potentially pay additional state surcharges (though the general “points” surcharges have been repealed, specific convictions can still trigger these).
   • Conclusion: This is why we consider simply paying off warrants the worst possible method to resolve them in Carrollton. It “solves” the warrant problem but creates far more complex and costly issues for your driving privileges and finances.

   Hiring a Bail Bond Company for Warrants (Limited Benefit for Traffic Tickets):

   • Their Role: Bail bond companies certainly have their place in the legal system, especially for more serious criminal charges requiring large bonds to secure release from jail. However, their primary role for traffic ticket warrants is often less beneficial to the client.
   • The Middleman Issue: The main problem with hiring a bail bond company for traffic ticket warrants is that they often act as a middleman, doing little to earn the substantial fee you pay, other than facilitating the initial bond and then bringing in a lawyer.
   • The Process: Typically, if you hire a bail bond company for a traffic ticket warrant:
     • They will charge a non-refundable fee (e.g., around $150.00 just to get you out of jail or post the bond).
     • They then call an attorney to file the necessary paperwork to get you out of jail or lift the warrant.
     • That attorney is paid only a small portion of the money you paid the bail bond company.
     • The bail bond company pockets the rest of your money.
     • Crucially, once you are released or the warrant is lifted, the attorney they chose to get you out of jail will often require you to pay additional money to represent you on the actual underlying case.
   • Lack of Choice: This means you end up paying more overall, and you don’t get to choose the lawyer you trust. We can guarantee that the main reason a bail bond company hired the lawyer they chose was not for their experience or legal aptitude, but rather for the competitive rate they charge to increase their own profit margin.

3. Hiring a Lawyer Directly to Lift a Warrant (Best Option):

   • The Best of Both Worlds: When you hire an experienced traffic ticket lawyer directly to lift a warrant for tickets in Carrollton Municipal Court, you get the benefit of both services (warrant removal and case defense) without the unnecessary middleman.
   • Your Money Works for You: All of your hard-earned money goes directly to the legal professional you choose to represent you in court after you are released from jail or the warrant is removed.
   • Comprehensive Representation: Our attorneys will file an attorney appearance bond to lift the warrant and simultaneously act as your legal buffer, interacting directly with Carrollton Municipal Court to defend your driving record and protect your driving privileges.
   • Expert Guidance: Dealing with warrants involves navigating complex traffic laws and court procedures.

We will explore every avenue, from seeking outright dismissals to negotiating for deferred disposition, always with the goal of preventing a conviction on your record.
