The Arlington Municipal Court held its annual Citation and Warrant Resolution Drive from Feb. 22 through March 14, 2022, allowing anyone with an outstanding citation to take the necessary steps to resolve the matter. This year, the court cleared 6,782 warrants.

During the drive, the Arlington Municipal Court waived the collection agency fees on warrants paid in full.

“Our goal for this program is work with defendants to become compliant with their court obligations. Having a warrant can be stressful and create barriers,” Court Administrator Jake Medrano said.

The Arlington Municipal Court continues to be a Safe Harbor Court. Anyone may appear in court at any time to resolve their outstanding cases without the fear of being arrested for City of Arlington warrants. In 2022, the collection agency mailed out 36,510 letters and made 8,409 calls.

The court, located inside City Tower at 101 S. Mesquite St., is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for court clerk customer services and payments. For citation information, please contact the Court at (817) 459-6777 or by email to: [email protected].
