"Great Texas Warrant Roundup" Happening in February;
State-wide effort will target people with outstanding warrants

(February 1, 2008) - More than 160 law enforcement jurisdictions from
across Texas will participate in the "Great Texas Warrant Roundup,"
beginning Saturday, February 16, 2008. In this state-wide effort, officers
will arrest people with outstanding warrants pending before their
respective Municipal Courts.

Law enforcement agencies and cities throughout the state conduct roundups
at different times throughout the year, focusing on violators with
outstanding Class C misdemeanor warrants; most of which are
traffic-related. Once again, law enforcement agencies statewide are
combining their efforts. Those arrested will be taken before court judges
for arraignment and disposition of their cases. Full payment or suitable
arrangement for full payment will be due at that time. Other options may
include a cash bond, a Magistrate Court appearance or attorney
representation.

Notices have been mailed to persons with warrants active against them.
Officials noted that although the concentration is on Class C charges,
higher charge warrants may also be served.

"This is such a massive and well coordinated warrant roundup," said Ft.
Worth City Marshal Jesse Hernandez. "We urge people to take care of their
warrants immediately so they can avoid being arrested."

Hurst Court Administrator Lisa Howard said persons with outstanding city
citations are strongly encouraged to appear in person or contact their
respective municipal court in order to avoid the embarrassment of being
arrested at home, work or school.
