Warrant Removal/Bonds:

If you should receive a traffic citation, you will usually be required to sign the ticket. Signing is not an admission of guilt for the traffic offense, but you are agreeing to appear in court by the date and time stated on the ticket. You also have the option to pay the fine instead of appearing in court, although this amounts to a guilty plea that can result in points being added to your driving record and increased auto insurance rates.

Traffic citations should not be ignored. If you do not pay the fee before the court date, then even if you plead not guilty you must appear in court. If you fail to appear for any reason, even if you are late, the court will almost always issue a Failure to Appear (FTA) warrant for your arrest. You may also be charged additional fines and be denied renewal of your driver’s license.

If a Failure to Appear (FTA) warrant is issued for your arrest for an unpaid traffic ticket, any time you are pulled over for any traffic violation, you may be arrested and taken to jail immediately. You will be required to give bail to secure your release and to appear in court at a later date to deal with the charge. If you have an outstanding traffic warrant in Houston, you may be arrested at any time during the annual Warrant Roundup usually beginning in March.

You may resolve an outstanding arrest warrant by pleading guilty or “no contest” to the warrant charge and paying the fine, although this can result in points being added to your driving record, extra costs, and higher insurance rates. Alternatively, you may plead not guilty and post a bond in court to lift the warrant. If you post a bond, you are no longer subject to arrest and you will have the opportunity to fight your traffic ticket and potentially protect your driving record and avoid higher insurance rates.

Sullo & Sullo, LLP has an experienced team of traffic attorneys who can help you with Failure to Appear (FTA) warrants.

How Failing to Appear Can Turn You into a Fugitive
Most of us would never imagine the word fugitive could apply to us simply because we forgot about a traffic ticket. Unfortunately, this is not the case. A missed court date, even if it is for a minor traffic infraction, can land you in plenty of trouble.
