Why You Need a Warrant Attorney in West Texas
In Texas, traffic tickets don’t just “go away.” If you ignore a citation, the court will eventually issue a Capias Pro Fine or an Arrest Warrant. Suddenly, a simple speeding ticket becomes a criminal matter that could land you in the El Paso County Jail or the Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Office.
The Role of a Warrant Attorney
When a warrant is issued, your primary goal is to “lift” or “quash” it without being taken into custody. As your warrant attorney, Carl DeKoatz can often:
- File a Motion to Set Aside the Warrant: This pulls you out of “active warrant” status and puts the case back on the court’s docket.
- Negotiate Penalties: We work to reduce the fines and ensure the violation doesn’t result in a permanent conviction on your driving record.
- Prevent License Suspension: Too many convictions lead to an “Omni” hold on your license, preventing you from renewing it. We help clear these holds.
