What To Do If You Have A Warrant For Your Arrest For Tickets In North Texas

Dallas Attorney For Warrants

It is not uncommon for a person to simply forget about a ticket that has been issued allowing it to go past the appearance date listed on the citation.  Once this occurs, the court can then issue a warrant for that person’s arrest to bring them before the court to resolve the citation.

If this has happened to you, then don’t panic and pay off the ticket.  If you pay off a ticket to avoid arrest, then the case will be reported to your permanent record.  Depending on the type of case, it can have a huge impact on your life.  For example, assault cases can impact a person’s right to carry a firearm.  Theft cases can cause a person to lose their job.  Traffic tickets can cause a suspension of a person’s driver license.

Attorney For Warrants In North Texas

If you have a ticket that has gone into warrant status, what you need to do is have a lawyer remove the warrant by posting an appearance bond in the court where the warrant is pending.  Once the warrant is lifted, the attorney can then go back to court on your behalf without the threat of arrest.  This is also a great way of avoiding most convictions as the appearance bond resets the case and allows the ticket defense lawyer to go back to court to try to negotiate a deal to protect your record.  This is why we suggest you call a ticket defense lawyer before taking any action on a case that has gone into warrant.  It can have a huge impact on your permanent criminal record and save you from a big mistake when it comes to protecting your record.

What To Do If You Have A Hold On The Renewal Of Your Driver License For A Ticket

How To Remove An Omni Hold In Texas

Texas has created a law that allows for courts to place a hold on a person’s ability to renew their driver license for past due tickets.  Depending on when the ticket was issued, a person will be required to pay a fee between $10 and $30 to remove the hold.  However, a person with a hold on their driver license due to a ticket, should never just pay off the old ticket.  This method could cause more damage to the driving privileges of that person than the hold itself.  This is due to the fact that paying off old tickets creates a conviction on the permanent record of the person.  These convictions can be used to suspend the same driving privileges a person was trying to obtain.

What must be done prior to paying off the tickets is a lawyer must first remove any warrant that is pending.  Second, the lawyer will need to pay the OMNI hold fee to the court.  Once these two steps are taken, then you will be able to renew your driving privileges.  These are the only safe way that will allow you to remove the hold on your driver license and protect your record at the same time.  How do you determine if your driver license has a hold on it?

Defending Commercial Drivers – CDL Tickets

Help With Speeding Tickets For Commercial Drivers

By far the hardest traffic tickets to defend are those that are issued to a commercial driver license holder.  We refer to these types of cases as CDL tickets.  In Texas, CDL’s are not allow to take defensive driving or deferred adjudication to resolve a ticket like a normal class c driver license holder.  This means that options are very limited for these types of license holders

What makes CDL tickets even more difficult is the fact that their license is their livelihood.  If a CDL loses their license, they are not able to support themselves and their families.  This is why we take these types of tickets very seriously.  We tell our CDL clients to treat every ticket like it is a felony.  That is how serious traffic tickets convictions can be for a commercial driver.  This is also why it is important to sit down with an attorney and go over the facts of your case is you have been issued a ticket in Texas as a CDL holder.  Don’t take risks with your job.  Take the time to discuss your tickets with an experienced lawyer familiar with defending commercial drivers.  Fight to keep your record clear.

Other Types Of Tickets That Can Impact Your Life

Again, there are many types of tickets that can be issued by a police officer in North Texas.  Every type of ticket is unique in the way it can impact a person’s life. Some examples of the types of tickets our experienced legal team have defended are listed below:

• 

  Lawyer For Assault Case

  ASSAULT TICKETS:  Assault tickets are unique in that Texas has made a very aggressive push to monitor those that have been convicted of this crime.  For example, an assault family violence ticket will require a defendant to have their finger prints taken upon just being charged with the offense.  These fingerprints are then sent to the State of Texas to ensure that if the person is convicted, they are not able to purchase a firearm.  Assault family violence tickets have also been used to deny a person’s application for housing in certain areas.  If you have been charged and issued an assault or assault family violence ticket in Texas, you need to consult a lawyer immediately about how best to defend your record from a conviction.  For more information about assault family violence tickets in Texas click here.

  Lawyer For Theft Case

  THEFT TICKETS:  Theft tickets can have a huge impact on a person’s life due to the fact that this type of crime is considered a “crime of moral turpitude.”  These types of crimes can be used by federal and state agencies to deny immigration applications.  They can also be used to deny a person the right to sit on a jury panel.  Finally, theft cases can be used to determine qualifications for employment.  For more information regarding theft tickets in North Texas click here.

• 

  Drug Paraphernalia Tickets

  DRUG PARAPHERNALIA TICKETS:  The problem with drug paraphernalia tickets in Texas is that offense does not establish what type of paraphernalia it was once it has been reported as a conviction on a person’s record.  So something as benign as rolling papers can be seen the same as heroine needles or a glass meth pipe to potential employers or state and federal agencies how have the ability to search for the records.  Because the reporting is so loose with the description of this type of offense, we highly suggest you contact a defense lawyer to discuss your drug paraphernalia ticket.

• 

  Public Intoxication Lawyer

  PUBLIC INTOXICATION TICKETS:  Public intoxication tickets become a problem normally due to the arrest record of the person charged.  Getting thrown in the “drunk tank” isn’t fun.  But once this happens, then that person has a mug shot and police record of the arrest that can be searched by potential employers as well as state and federal agencies.  For this reason, it is crucial to first protect a person’s record for these cases and then follow that up with an expunction that destroys the mug shot and arrest record.  For more information regarding public intoxication tickets in North Texas click here.
