February is Warrant Resolution Month in Victoria

The month of February is a time to get things taken care of. Especially if you have a warrant or think you have a warrant. The City of Victoria Municipal Court will offer multiple court dockets in February to give residents an opportunity to resolve outstanding warrants without the risk of arrest.

Even if you think you don't have a warrant, you might want to check. I once found out that I had a warrant for an overdue library book. I had no idea.

If you have any questions about warrants or are unable to attend one of the scheduled sessions, you are strongly encouraged to contact the Municipal Court at 361-485-3050 or email them at courtclerk@victoriatx.gov to discuss their cases.

An additional virtual docket will also be offered during February.

The additional virtual docket is scheduled for Saturday, February 7, at 9 a.m. This will be in addition regular scheduled virtual docket on Monday, Feb. 23, at 1 p.m.

If you prefer a virtual session, you must check in before the docket begins by downloading the Zoom application and input the meeting ID 361-485-3050. For information on virtual appearances, click here when the time is right.

The court will also host an in-person docket on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 9 to 4 p.m. at the Municipal Court courtroom, 107 W. Juan Linn St. There will also be a second in-person docket at Victoria Christian Assistance Ministry, 108 N. Liberty St., on February 20, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. You must check in with court staff before your session.

Here is your chance to avoid going to jail in Victoria.

These special dockets are part of Warrant Resolution Month, an annual initiative designed to encourage individuals with outstanding warrants to speak with a judge or prosecutor about available resolution options.
