The Great Texas Roundup class C violations...?

So Texas seems to have made an annual event of hunting down people with outstanding traffic violations...Yea!!!...Anyway, I have a warrant out for failure to appear in court for a speeding ticket however thats in Stafford and I live in Houston Harris county, but like 5-10 mins outside the Stafford area. Will Stafford and Houston police be searching outside their districts? I know if HPD were to pull me over they could transfer me to Stafford for arrest, but would they come to my house or job for a warrant in another city/county?...

The Great Texas Roundup class C violations...?
yes they can. every year i warn people about this and they take it for granted. sure enough i know at least 2 people who get picked up. its sad. to spend time in jail for something so simple as a traffic ticket that could have been paid. these are the same people who spend money on everything else unnecessarily
Reply:I'll never understand why people don't just pay their tickets so they don't have to worry about it! And if you had gone to court in the first place you could have just taken defensive driving!


Yes they can, and probably will.
Reply:I managed a night club just outside of the Jersey Village city limits. I had a outstanding speeding ticket in Iowa Colony(I don't think they even have a PD anymore) out in Ft.Bend Co.





I quit the job on a Saturday morning. The very next morning, my phone rang off the hook.





Jersey Village PD and a cop from Iowa Colony came into the club that night to arrest me. Of course I wasn't there but it made for really great gossip at the club. They all thought I had done something bad, very bad. lol





So yes, they can come get you if they want. Try calling them to see if they will let you pay it in installments or work something out if you're short on cash. That's what I did.





I used to work in Stafford and the courts are somewhat reasonable IF you talk to them.
Reply:In today's paper, they stated that they will be crossing jurisdictions to round up the "bad felons" of traffic warrants. Contact the department that you owe and make a payment plan before they start and you just might be able to avoid the sweep. They aren't starting it until THE 16TH.
Reply:My husband loves to speed and with all the tickets he has gotten and skipped out on court no officer has been to our house to pick him up
