WPMC releases latest list of outstanding warrants
The Wills Point Municipal Court has put a heavy emphasis on clearing outstanding warrants and monies owed throughout the new year. Those efforts began in earnest back in February with the WPMC once again participating in the Great Texas Warrant Roundup.
The roundup is an annual joint effort including more than 300 agencies and municipalities from around the state that helps to “target thousands of defendants with traffic, parking, city ordinance, penal code, and higher charge warrants from participating jurisdictions. The focus is to bring these individuals into compliance with court orders; there are multiple options that are available to do so.”
The local roundup effort was a huge success in 2017, resulting in 127 warrants being cleared and collections by the WPMC totaling $24,862.
Days after the roundup ended, the WPMC announced that it would be updating and publishing lists of people with outstanding warrants and monies owed on its Facebook page, as well as through local news outlets like the Wills Point Chronicle on a regular basis.
