Bells Municipal Court Warrant

You forgot about a Bells traffic ticket and now you have a Bells municipal court warrant for your arrest. It happens! It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a problem that must be taken care of. It won’t just go away. With an outstanding Bells municipal court warrant for your arrest, you are subject to arrest at any time. At home, work or driving anywhere. If you are detained for any reason, you could be arrested and taken to jail. The good news is that we lift Bells municipal court warrants. I’m attorney Todd E. Tkach. Our law practice includes traffic citation defense and the warrants that often accompany outstanding traffic tickets. We represent people in all jurisdictions throughout North Texas, with the majority of our appearances in Dallas, Tarrant, Bells, Collin, Rockwall, Kaufman and Ellis counties.

If you receive a Bells traffic ticket, you only have a few days to take some action or a Bells Municipal Court Warrant for your arrest will be issued. If a warrant gets issued, you only have a few options, and most of them are not good. You could simply do nothing. That all but ensures that you will eventually get arrested. Not a good option. You could also just pay the ticket. But, that means you are pleading guilty and you are convicted of the citation. A conviction has long term financial consequences, including a high fine, DPS points, surcharges and higher auto insurance rates. Another option for a Bells municipal court warrant is to post your own cash bond. Although that will lift the warrant, it’s very expensive. It requires a cash outlay of several hundred dollars, which the court holds until you show up to court to resolve your outstanding ticket. If you fail to show for court, you forfeit your cash bond.

Types of Bells Municipal Court Warrants

Generally, there are two types of Bells municipal court warrants for citations; Alias warrants and Capias warrants:

Alias Warrants

Alias warrants go into effect after you receive a traffic citation if, before your appearance date, you fail to either: 1) pay your traffic citation; or 2) request a court hearing. After the Bells municipal court warrant is issued, if you are stopped, for any reason, you are subject to arrest. Are you in this situation now? Do you have outstanding Alias warrants? Call attorney Todd E. Tkach now! We can post an attorney bond to lift the Bells municipal court warrant for your arrest and set your case for hearing. At the hearing, we strive for a dismissal of the charge(s) against you. If a dismissal can’t be obtained, we’ll aggressively negotiate to obtain the best possible result for you.

Capias Warrants

Capias warrants are issued when you fail to comply with a plea agreement that you entered into regarding a previous citation. It may be that you agreed to pay a certain fine within a certain time and to not get any other traffic citations within a certain time period. Failure to comply with any part of that agreement will result in a Capias warrant being issued for your arrest. In this situation, it’s probably too late for us to be able to help. You must either pay the fine or remain subject to arrest at any time.

Bells Municipal Court Warrant Roundups

From time to time, anywhere from two (2) to four (4) times per year, most cities and municipalities in the Dallas and Ft. Worth metroplex conduct warrant roundups. What is a warrant roundup? This is when cities and jurisdictions devise and implement plans to actively pursue the arrest of anyone who has outstanding warrants for traffic citations. However, some jurisdictions don’t bother with warrant roundups, but rather have a year-round program to actively arrest anyone with outstanding warrants from that jurisdiction. If you think this can’t happen to you, think again! Many times, we have posted attorney bonds to bail people out of jail who had outstanding Bells municipal court warrants who were arrested during routine traffic stops, at work or at home. Law enforcement officers do not discriminate when it comes to outstanding Bells municipal court warrants. They will show up at the homes and/or work places of anyone who has outstanding Bells municipal court warrants, and arrest them. Don’t let this happen to you!

Getting Yourself Arrested for a Ticket Warrant Is Expensive

Getting arrested on an outstanding warrant for an unpaid ticket is the most expensive way to resolve your traffic ticket! First, you will have to bond yourself out of jails with a cash bond for the full amount owed. Second, you will face the highest amount of the fine, known as the "window rate." Thirdly, you will face additional fees for court costs and the collection expense of arresting you. Fourth, if you were pulled over while driving and arrested, your car might be impounded and you might face towing and impound fees to get your car back. Finally, you could also face significant State of Texas surcharges. Plus, you will lose more money from the resulting time away from work, plus the embarrassment of being arrested. This is the worst and most expensive of all possible outcomes.

If you have one or more outstanding warrants for your arrest for unpaid traffic tickets, there are much more favorable outcomes possible that will cost less and eliminate the additional hassle.
