In this in-depth episode of our legal advice series, Attorney Robert Navar of the Law Office of Robert Andrew Navar Esq.  shares exactly how he helps clients remove active traffic ticket warrants and fight the underlying charges—without paying unnecessary court warrant fees or risking jail time.

If you’ve ever missed a court date, forgotten to pay a ticket, or received a letter warning of an arrest warrant, you’ll want to hear this. Robert explains that when you fail to appear in court or pay your fine by the deadline, a judge can issue a bench warrant—often called an alias warrant in traffic cases. This warrant attaches to your name and driver’s license, meaning police can arrest you at any time, even during a routine traffic stop.

Ignoring a traffic ticket warrant can lead to severe consequences:

• Arrest at home, work, or during travel
• Additional fines and court costs
• Points added to your license
• Higher insurance premiums
• A permanent conviction on your driving record

Robert breaks down the types of warrants he fights:

1. Alias Warrants – Issued when you haven’t entered a plea or paid the ticket. With these, an attorney can lift the warrant and continue fighting the ticket.
2. Capias Warrants – Issued for not complying with a court order, such as failing to complete a payment plan. These are harder to remove without paying the full amount or serving jail time, but Robert explains your options.
3. OMNI Holds – Restrictions placed by the Texas DPS on your driver’s license for failing to appear in court or pay a fine, preventing you from legally driving.

You’ll learn why hiring a warrant lawyer for traffic tickets is more effective—and more affordable—than using a bail bondsman. Many bond companies can’t post bonds for tickets and will often hire a lawyer anyway. By going directly to an attorney like Robert, you skip the middleman, save money, and get legal advice tailored to your case.

Robert also discusses his process:

• Filing an appearance bond to lift the warrant immediately.
• Requesting discovery, including body cam footage, dash cam video, and officer reports, to identify inconsistencies.
• Challenging procedural errors in the charging instrument or citation.
• Negotiating with prosecutors to secure dismissals or defensive driving eligibility even when clients don’t normally qualify.

Once the warrant is removed, Robert doesn’t stop there—he continues to fight the original ticket to prevent it from becoming a conviction on your record. Paying old tickets without legal help can lead to permanent marks that affect employment, especially for jobs requiring a clean driving record or background check.
