FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: Mar. 27, 2025
Contact: Catherine Cousar     512-974-4649    Email

The Austin Municipal Court and Downtown Austin Community Court will hold their 2025 Warrant Amnesty program from March 31 through April 25 to help those with unpaid citations and/or outstanding warrants. Individuals who resolve active warrants will have warrant fees waived; however, they must contact the court to take advantage of this program.

No officers will be sent out to take defendants into custody, and those who come to any Austin Municipal Court or Community Court location voluntarily will not be arrested.

Options are available for those who are not able to pay immediately, including payment plans, community service, or hardship waivers for those who qualify. This program applies only to active cases in front of the Austin Municipal Court or Downtown Austin Community Court.

In last year’s Warrant Amnesty program, 1,988 outstanding warrants were cleared, and 14,466 civil parking citations were terminated.

“AMC is proud to offer our Warrant Amnesty program to Austinites again this year. The program is a core part of our commitment to building trust and accountability with the public we serve,” said Clerk of the Court, Mary Jane Grubb. “We want the public to know, if they have an unresolved citation or warrant, they should not be afraid to come talk to us. Our staff can discuss options and help customers come into compliance.”

There are multiple walk-in dockets scheduled Mondays through Fridays during the amnesty period. Judges and prosecutors will be available to review cases, discuss options, and issue appropriate orders.

No appointments are needed during these walk-in dockets. Warrant Amnesty applies only to active cases, and all services are provided free of charge. Spanish interpreters will be available.
