THEFT
Theft is considered a crime of moral turpitude. No matter how small the amount, one conviction can have a devastating affect on a persons ability to get employment, secure an apartment lease, get into college or any number of other opportunities.
WARRANTS LIFTED
If you have missed court, you may have an additional charge of Failure to Appear and warrants for your arrest. Additionally, the court may have entered you into the DPS Failure to Appear Database so that you cannot renew your drivers license. If you pay everything pending at the court, you are liable to incur lots of unintended consequences. Each fine that you pay, results in a conviction on your driving record, and may trigger further license suspensions. If you missed your court date, contact us before you pay your fines and warrant fees. We can post bonds to get the warrants lifted, get you a new court date, and represent you in court to protect your record.
