Dallas Traffic Ticket Warrants Lifted

Dallas Municipal Court is renowned for their ability to issue active arrest warrants almost immediately after an appearance date or payment has been missed. As soon as the grace period passes, you can bet that a Dallas arrest warrant is soon to follow. Once a warrant has been lifted there are a few ground rules you need to know in order to avoid making a bad situation worse.
Don't just pay for that ticket to lift a warrant.

“Just paying” for the Dallas traffic ticket will most definitely lift the warrant. However, what you may not realize is that the by paying the citation, you now have a conviction on your driving record. Get the wrong conviction and you get a license suspension notice from The Department of Public Safety. Get the wrong conviction and you could also end up paying surcharges to the Department of Public Safety to avoid having your license suspended. These surcharges can be as high as $260.00 a year for 3 years. That is a hefty price tag for “just paying” a Dallas traffic ticketoff that went into warrant.
