How to avoid jail? Amnesty warrant for Texarkana Arkansas

If you have outstanding warrants/fines from the District Court in Texarkana, Arkansas, February could be your month to deal with them without getting arrested.

Texarkana Arkansas Police sent out a notice today referencing Judge Tommy Potter’s announcement that the Miller County District Court, City and County Divisions of Texarkana, Arkansas will grant amnesty to the February 1 to April 28, 2023.

What does that mean?

This simply means that if you have an outstanding warrant for non-appearance, non-compliance with a court order or non-reporting, you can benefit from this amnesty program. During the foregoing period, the District Courts will waive warrant fees and jail time if they receive full payment of the underlying amounts of such warrants.

Yes, you still have to pay your fines, but you can avoid additional fines or charges by taking care of them during the amnesty period.

The amnesty program allows anyone wanted on a warrant to avoid the inconvenience of being arrested, avoid additional court costs of $350, and have their case fully resolved.

“These people have had their driving privileges suspended; clearing these fines will also allow them to recover a valid driver’s license. With tax returns coming in, it’s a great time for people to take advantage of this opportunity,” according to Chief Registrar Karen Reed.
