Warrants

If you fail to comply with or meet any or all of the requirements set by the court or fail to appear on your citation timely, the Judge may issue a warrant for your arrest, which will include additional fees. There are two types of warrants, Alias and Capias.  An Alias warrant is a warrant in which the defendant has never made an appearance with the Court.  A Capias warrant is a warrant that the defendant appeared, made a plea, a judgment was entered on their case and the defendant defaulted on payment or compliance with the judgment.  Warrants are entered into a regional computer so you will be subject to arrest at any time by a peace officer. You will need to contact the Court if you feel that a warrant for your arrest has been issued. If you cannot pay your warrant in full, the Court is authorized to make limited payment arrangements with you on Alias warrants only.  Capias warrants are due in full.
