Information on Warrants

If a judge has issued a warrant for your arrest, you must understand what will be expected of you under the law. An arrest warrant is different from a bench warrant, although both are issued by a judge. A judge will issue an arrest warrant when enough evidence exists to suspect an individual with committing a crime or knowing significant information relevant to a crime. Arrest warrants notify police to seek out and arrest an individual so that person can be questioned about or charged with committing a crime.

An arrest warrant is a warrant for police to take you into custody, and in some cases you may not be informed about the warrant until the police show up on your doorstep. It is essential that you contact a Houston criminal defense attorney specializing in arrest warrants as soon as you know an arrest warrant has been issued for you or a loved one in the Houston area.
