Types of Municipal Court Warrants

There are two types of warrants that may be issued by the Municipal Court:

  • Alias warrants (arrest) are issued for individuals who fail to appear to answer to the charges filed against them.
  • Capias Pro-Fine warrants are issued when a person fails to comply with judgments and other court orders.

A warrant can be issued for your arrest when you:

  • Default on payment arrangements
  • Do not appear for your court date
  • Do not complete the Driver Safety Course requirements and do not appear to show cause
  • Do not comply with the terms of your probation and the probation is revoked
  • Do not pay a fine assessed by a judge
  • Do not respond to your citation by the appearance date
  • Fail to comply with a community service order

Warrant Fee

When a warrant is issued, an additional warrant fee of $50 will be assessed on each case for which a warrant is ordered.
