Warrants

The Court may issue an arrest warrant when:

• You fail to appear
• You fail to comply with an Order of the Court
• You fail to make scheduled payments

Persons with Warrants are subject to arrest at any time. The City Marshal's office is actively looking for you. To avoid arrest, you must immediately resolve this matter by contacting the Texas City Municipal Court or City Marshal's office at 409-643-5800.

Fail to Appear

If you fail to appear and have agreed to pay, make scheduled payments on a payment plan, or any other order of the Court, you must comply with those orders as specified by the Judge or a warrant may be issued for your arrest.

• Pay in Full
• Pay ½ of the fine and request a 30 extension to pay the balance
