The Garland Municipal Court will host a Warrant Recall Day from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, March 4. Those with outstanding Garland municipal warrants will not be arrested if they appear before a judge on Warrant 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 2016 “Great Texas Warrant Roundup,” which will run March 5-13. More than 300 law enforcement agencies statewide will participate in the roundup.
Anyone with outstanding warrants for minor infractions such as traffic/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 who wish to take advantage of Warrant Recall Day should come to the Garland Municipal Court building, 1791 W. Avenue B, second floor, with a valid ID and be prepared to pay their unpaid fines. For more information, contact Lt. Judy Granado, Garland City Marshal’s Office at 972-487-7342.
