ROBSTOWN, Texas —
Robstown police will begin searching for residents with active municipal court warrants on Monday, Oct. 12, and the city's police chief is urging people to resolve them before then.
Police Chief Mike Tamez announced the warrant roundup in a video posted on the department's Facebook page. It applies to people living inside Robstown city limits with active municipal court warrants.
An amnesty period began Oct. 5 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 11. During that time, Tamez said, people can go to municipal court to settle their warrants without being arrested.
"If you do go down to municipal court voluntarily during your amnesty period, you will not be arrested by officers," Tamez said.
He said that applies even if an officer is present at the court.
Once the roundup starts, Tamez said, officers will look for people at their homes and could arrest them at work or during traffic stops.
"The main goal is to get you to take care of these matters before next week," he said.
Residents who are unsure whether they have a warrant can visit the Robstown Municipal Court at 101 E. Main St. or call 361-387-4550, option 4.
