The Garland Municipal Court is hosting a “Recall Day” Friday, March 6 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. People attending will not be arrested for outstanding Garland municipal warrants if they appear before a judge on “Recall Day.”
A person with active Garland warrants will have a chance to go before a judge to enter a plea, make arrangements to pay any balance on outstanding tickets, and have their warrants recalled. In certain cases, the amount of the outstanding fine and court costs may be reduced at this special docket.
This special day of amnesty comes just before the “Great Texas Warrant Roundup” that begins Saturday March 7. More than 300 law enforcement agencies statewide are participating in the roundup. People with outstanding warrants for minor infractions like traffic and parking tickets, as well as those with more serious violations could be arrested. If your Municipal Court warrants are not cleared, city of Garland marshals and police officers may show up at your home or work, arrest you and take you to jail.
Those wishing to take advantage of “Recall Day” need to come to the Garland Municipal Court building, 1791 W. Avenue B, 2nd floor, with a valid ID and be prepared to pay their unpaid fines.
For more information, contact Lt. Judy Granado, with the Garland City Marshal’s office at 972-487-7342.
