Lawyers That Lift Warrants In Rowlett Municipal Court

Understanding Warrants and Bail in Texas

When you miss a court date or fail to resolve a citation in Rowlett Municipal Court, the court will typically issue a warrant for your arrest. This means that any law enforcement officer can legally detain you.

The concept of bail is fundamental to the justice system when a warrant is issued. In Texas, Article 17.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure defines bail as:

“The security given by the accused that he will appear and answer before the proper court the accusation brought against him, and includes a bail bond or a personal bond.“

In essence, bail is a financial guarantee or a promise that you will appear for all future court dates related to your charges. It allows you to remain free from custody while your case is pending.

The Attorney’s Role: Posting an Appearance Bond in Rowlett

For cases in Rowlett Municipal Court, The Beltz Law Group can act swiftly to lift your warrant by filing an appearance bond on your behalf. This is a critical service that immediately addresses the threat of arrest.

Here’s how it works:

1. Posting Bail: As your legal representative, The Beltz Law Group is allowed to post bail for your outstanding charges by filing what’s known as an attorney appearance bond. This bond serves as the “security” mentioned in Article 17.01, guaranteeing your appearance in court.
2. Lifting the Warrant: Once the appearance bond is properly filed and accepted by Rowlett Municipal Court, the arrest warrant is immediately lifted. This removes the threat of arrest, providing you with immediate peace of mind.
3. Representation on Underlying Charges: With the bond in place, your attorney can then formally represent you on the underlying charges (the original traffic ticket or Class C misdemeanor that led to the warrant). This allows us to begin the process of resolving your case strategically.
4. Protecting Your Permanent Criminal Record: Our primary goal after lifting the warrant is to work towards an outcome that protects your permanent criminal and driving record. This could involve seeking a dismissal, negotiating for deferred adjudication, or preparing for trial, depending on the specifics of your case.
5. Client Convenience: No Appearance Necessary (in Most Cases): One of the most significant benefits for our clients is that in most cases, you, the client, do not need to appear in court once we have posted the bond. Your attorney from The Beltz Law Group can make all necessary court appearances on your behalf, saving you time, stress, and the need to miss work or other obligations. You only need to appear if the case goes to a contested trial and your testimony is required.
