Active Warrants

Warrant Round-Up

We encourage you to come into our office to discuss your warrants. This will not result in your arrest. 

The Kennedale Municipal Court is a Safe Harbor Court. We do not arrest persons voluntarily coming to a court service location to resolve their outstanding Class "C" Warrants.

 Alias Warrant:

*Notice: Each violation has a $50.00 fee added if it goes into warrant status.

An Alias warrant is when the defendant fails to make an appearance. Either by not taking care of the original class C citation or by not appearing at Court as promised.

Options for resolving an Alias Warrant:

  • PAY IN FULL – if the defendant IS NOT currently in jail – the defendant can pay their citation in full using any of these available    Pay Now Online
  • PAY IN FULL AT JAIL – if the defendant IS IN JAIL – you will need to go to the jail where they are being held and pay in full or post a bond to get the defendant released.
  • REQUEST A PAYMENT PLAN – to do this, the defendant will need to come to the court offices in-person and be prepared to make a down payment to start the payment plan.
  • REQUEST A COURT DATE – to do this, the defendant or their attorney will need to post a bond and then a court date will be assigned to you.
  • REQUEST DEFERRED DISPOSITION – to do this, the defendant or their attorney will need to post a bond so that a court date can be secured because the Judge would have to approve granting you the deferred disposition.
  • HIRE AN ATTORNEY – If you have hired an attorney to represent your case(s), the Court will communicate all matters through the attorney. Contact the attorney’s office for advisement or status of your citation(s).
  • POST A BOND – Posting a bond will remove the warrant, and you will be placed on an upcoming court setting.

Capias Pro-Fine Warrant:

*Notice: Each violation has a $50.00 fee added if it goes into warrant status.

A capias pro-fine warrant is when the defendant has a guilty judgment and fails to comply with the Court’s orders.

Municipal Court maintains a complete listing of active warrants. An arrest warrant will remain active until all fines and fees have been paid, or a bond has been posted.

.We urge you to contact the court if you are unable to pay the amount owed without undue hardship to yourself or your dependents. You will not be subject to arrest if you have active warrants but are taking steps to resolve them in a civil manner. Our goal is to help you; not put you in jail.  You may request a hearing before a judge to consider your ability to pay and request any non-monetary compliance options available to you. You should be prepared to explain and document your financial situation to the court.
