Great Texas Roundup arrests begin March 6
Posted By Bristol Myers on March 5, 2010
Law enforcement agencies from more than 250 agencies across Texas will begin making arrests Saturday, March 6, as part of the Great Texas Warrant Roundup.
This major, multi-jurisdictional push kicked off Feb. 19 with the mailing of thousands of notices warning people with outstanding warrants of the impending arrest effort. The last day to clear warrants is Friday, March 5, before the concentrated effort to make arrests begins.
While numerous offenders have voluntarily come forward, many warrants remain outstanding.
Although the Roundup focus is on Class C charges including traffic violations, misdemeanors or City ordinance offenses; higher charge warrants also will be served, including felonies. Delinquent parking cases will also be targeted.
Individuals with outstanding warrants are strongly urged to avoid the inconvenience and embarrassment of arrest by voluntarily going to the appropriate jurisdictions to handle warrants immediately.
In Austin, you may pay your citations with a credit card online anytime at www.cityofaustin.org/public or by calling (512) 974-4640 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Payment and possible other arrangements may be made at any of three locations:
Main courthouse: 700 E. 7th Street, Austin 78701

Municipal Court encourages persons to come to court and handle their warrants regardless of ability to pay. There may be other options available such as payment plans or community service depending on person’s financial situation.

Municipal Court staff is prepared to assist you and urges you to contact the court as soon as possible if you have warrants, delinquent parking or red light camera cases. Information may be found and payments may be made online anytime at www.cityofaustin.org/public.
