During this first phase notices were mailed out to those who have an outstanding warrant due primarily to unpaid traffic tickets or failure to appear before a judge as promised.

While some people are well aware there is an outstanding arrest warrant for them, many more are not. When a traffic citation is received—generally for such offenses as driving at speeds above the posted speed limit or neglecting to exhibit proof of inspection—the person must either pay the ticket or appear in court to enter their plea.

You may or may not be aware of the Great Texas Warrant Roundup, now in its seventh year. The “grace” period has already come and gone and phase two will begin on March 2, 2013. The enforcement phase means that law enforcement from the greater Houston area will be out in full force to arrest those who have not come forward to take care of their overdue traffic violations.

Suppose you received a traffic citation in the past and put it away, thinking you would pay it “later.” Then your life got busy and you simply forgot all about the ticket. Alternatively you may have agreed to appear in court and enter a plea and the court date slipped right by. Our jobs, children, school, parents, friends—all these combine to take up our time and allow such relatively minor issues as a traffic ticket slip from our mind. You could be shocked to know that because of forgetting something—even as minor as a traffic violation—your name could now be on an arrest warrant due to the Great Texas Warrant Roundup.
