| Do I have a Warrant out for my Arrest in Austin, Texas or Travis County? |
Although there are numerous resources available to find out if you have a warrant out for your arrest in Austin, I usually start my inquiries with a quick search from either the Travis County Sheriff's Office Warrant Search or I check the Austin Police Department Warrant List. Unfortunately, sometimes one or both of these resources will fail to show an active warrant when one has been issued. These lists are updated periodically and are not always accurate. There have been many instances when neither of these databases have shown an active warrant for someone's arrest, yet I was still able to find one through other resources.
If you have a warrant out for your arrest in Austin, Texas, you should immediately contact an Austin criminal defense attorney to help protect your rights and so that they can begin working on a defense to the accusations against you. If you have an active warrant, a lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you how to clear or "lift" the warrant. There are several options to clear a Travis County warrant. For example, one way is for you and your attorney to schedule a "walk-through." As a criminal defense attorney, I will often work with a client to schedule a "walk-through" at the Travis County Jail. This process allows my clients to complete the booking process much quicker than the average person that is arrested, as they do not have to spend nearly as much time at the jail. By scheduling a walk-through in advance, many of my clients feel much less anxiety, as they have the peace of mind knowing that their defense attorney is there to help them at the Travis County Jail and that the neccessary steps have been taken in advance to minimize their jail experience.
However, even if you do not have an active warrant out for your arrest, if there is even the slightest chance that you think a warrant for your arrest could be issued, then it is imperative that you contact an Austin criminal defense lawyer to discuss these concerns.
