Austin, TX Warrant Amnesty initiative builds community trust in criminal justice system
Austin, TX Warrant Amnesty Community Trust Criminal Justice
The month-long program seeks resolution for city-issued citations and warrants for local traffic violations. Participants visiting the Municipal Court or Community Court can waive their warrant fees by starting payment plans, applying for hardship waivers, or participating in community service. Municipal judges and prosecutors are available to answer questions as they review each case. Austin's pre-pandemic warrant amnesties resolved 37,500 warrants and tickets over three years.
