Warrants and Bond Issues

We Help Resolve the Warrant and the Case

Posting a bond or resolving a warrant does not end the case. After the warrant is addressed, the case will continue through the court process.

We focus on both parts of the situation:

• Helping clients resolve the warrant and post bond
• Defending the criminal case itself

Our goal is to guide clients through the process while working toward the best possible outcome in their case.

How Do I Know If I Have a Warrant in Harris County?

The fastest way to find out if you have a warrant is by looking at the District Clerk’s site in the county you have a warrant for. Many people do not know how to do this and instead choose to speak with an attorney who can help determine the status of their case.

Part of our free initial consultation includes determining if you have a warrant and what the next steps are. We have handled several different warrant situations in a multitude of courts.

Can a Warrant Be Resolved Without Going to Jail?

In some situations, it’s possible to resolve a warrant without spending time in jail. One option that may be available is arranging a walk-through bond, where the person appears at the courthouse with their attorney and a bail bondsman.

Instead of being taken into custody and processed through the jail system, the individual may only need to complete fingerprinting and a booking photograph before being released after the bond is posted.

Clearing Warrants and Arranging Bond Conditions

Our firm helps clients take proactive steps to deal with outstanding warrants. This may include:

• Determining whether a warrant has been issued
• Contacting the court to understand the status of the case
• Coordinating with a bail bondsman when a bond is required
• Arranging a walk-through bond when possible
• Appearing in court with you to address the warrant
• Arguing for changes in bond conditions

Taking action early can often prevent the situation from becoming more stressful or disruptive.

Common Charges That Often Involve Warrants

Many warrants arise from misdemeanor cases where someone missed court or was charged but never formally arrested. Some of the most common cases where we see warrants include:

• Assault charges
• Theft and shoplifting cases
• Failure to stop and give information
• Driving with a suspended license
• Reckless driving or other vehicle-related offenses
• Failure to appear in court

Regardless of the charge, resolving the warrant is usually the first step in addressing the case.
