Euless Ticket Attorney

There are certain traffic ticket warrants in Euless that an attorney is not going to be able to remove.  These types of warrants are called “capias pro fine warrants.”  A capias pro fine warrant is one that has been issued after a defendant has entered into payment arrangements with the court and then defaults on those arrangements.  If a payment arrangement has been entered into with Euless Municipal Court, the Code of Criminal Procedure considers that agreement a waiver of the defendant’s right to an attorney.  The Code also considers the agreement an admission of guilt unless it was also accompanied by a deferred adjudication or defensive driving agreement.

Once a capias warrant has been issued, the only options a person has to resolve them is to either (1) sit it out in jail or (2) pay the full amount of the fine immediately.  An attorney will not be able to file any paperwork on the defendant’s behalf to resolve the traffic ticket warrant in Euless, Texas.  Many attorneys will take your money claiming they can assist you with these types of warrants, so you must be careful.  The attorney’s statements are usually based on your comments about having warrants in Euless.  They are not based on actually calling Euless Municipal Court to determine the exact character of the warrant.  Once the money is given to the attorney, it may be difficult to get it back.  So if you know that you have entered into a payment arrangement in the past with Euless Municipal Court this information that must be relayed to the attorney in the beginning.
