Got a warrant? City staff ready to help you avoid a trip to jail
Dallas – The City of Dallas is taking a different approach to helping people with unpaid traffic citations or warrants. And the good news is, it does not involve being arrested.
“We want people in our community to know that they have a number of options available to them to avoid being arrested for an active warrant,” said Court and Detention Services Director Gloria Carter. Courts and Marshal’s Office staff members will be ready to help from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 14 City Recreation Centers.
“We are inviting anyone with an active warrant or citation to come to one of our sessions on Feb. 25 and learn about the programs available to them, with no fear of being arrested,” she said. Those who attend will learn about deferred disposition, payment plans, driver safety training, how to contest a citation and payment plans available for those who are unable to pay.
