Q.) I have Rowlett Municipal Court Warrants for my arrest, what can I do?
A.) When you have outstanding arrest warrants, you have several options. Understand that a warrant for arrest is a court order signed and issued by the Judge, and you should expect that police officers will honor that order, should you come into contact with one.
First, you can pay your warrant balance in full, close your case and clear your warrants. You can pay online, over the phone through the Marshal’s Office or in person at the Municipal Court. Feel free to contact the Marshal’s Office for assistance in making a payment.
Second, you may be eligible to post a cash bond and obtain a new court date. This is dependent upon the nature of your case and warrants. A cash bond must be posted in the form of cash or a cashier’s check for the exact amount; you’ll need to contact the Marshal’s Office or the Municipal Court for details and directions.
Third, you can have an attorney post a bond for you with the court. This is also dependent upon the nature of your case and warrants. Neither the court staff nor the Marshal’s Office is allowed to refer you an attorney; you must select that attorney yourself. Please contact the Municipal Court for details.
Fourth, you may be eligible to enter into our Community Service Work Program. This program allows persons currently with active warrants to complete community service hours in lieu of payment. However, this program has several requirements. If this interests you, please contact the Marshal’s Office for details.
Finally, persons with active warrants can turn themselves in and sit out their time in our Municipal Jail. The amount of time you will be in custody depends upon the number of warrants and the balance of your debt. The Judge assigns the value of your time in custody. Should you wish to turn yourself in, you can contact the Marshal’s Office for details.
Q.) I have multiple warrants and can’t afford to pay them
all at once. I also don’t want to go to jail, what can I do?
A.) If you have more than one Rowlett Municipal Court Warrant for your arrest, and you would like to have the warrants lifted, you must contact the Marshal’s Office for details on our Time Pay Plan. This involves paying one warrant in its entirety every thirty days. Warrants must be paid in full, partial payments are not allowed. Please contact the Marshal’s Office for details.
Q.) I have warrants for both Rowlett and other jurisdictions, can I work with the Rowlett Marshal’s Office to address all my warrants?
A.) No, we have authority only over Rowlett warrants. You may still enter into our Time Pay Plan by paying one of your Rowlett warrants over the telephone, or by paying online, however we cannot accept payment for other courts warrants.
