Arrest Warrant Status (AW)
If you fail to appear on your cases(s) by the initial appearance date listed on your citation, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. There will also be an additional violation filed against you, referred to as a Failure to Appear (FTA) or Violate Promise to Appear (VPTA), incurring separate fines and fees. If your case is an active warrant of arrest, the following options are available: 
 

• Plea of Guilty or No Contest and pay in full.  You may do so in person, through the mail with a cashier's check or money order, over the phone or on-line at www.municipalonlinepayments.com/oakridgenorthtx/court   

• You may appear in person or online and request a pay agreement with the court. This will require defendants to pay half of the balance outstanding to have the warrant recalled. The defendant will then be responsible to follow the court's payment schedule.  

• You may request a new court date

     
Capias Pro Fine Warrants (CP)
A Capias Pro Fine Warrant is issued when a Defendant fails to comply with a court issued order.  In these instances, a plea has already been accepted and payment arrangements have been made.  If your case is in active Capias Pro Fine status the following options are available: 
    

• Pay the balance in full or set a payment plan. You may do so in person, through the mail with a cashier's check or money order, over the phone or on-line at www.municipalonlinepayments.com/oakridgenorthtx/court

• You may request a hearing for the outstanding fines and fees. 
   

OMNI Database & Third Party Collections
The Oak Ridge North Municipal Court forwards all cases in warrant status to OMNI Base Services of Texas. This statewide database will deny re-issuance of the defendant's drivers license indefinitely, until the defendant has paid or disposed of all active cases. Payments for any case that is now in warrant status must be by cash, money order or cashier's check, by phone or on-line at www.municipalonlinepayments.com/oakridgenorthtx/court  

 

Personal checks will not be accepted. To verify the status of your license visit the Texas Department of Public Safety's verification site.

 

In addition the Oak Ridge North Municipal Court also refers past due warrants to a third-party collection agency. For all cases referred, an additional 30% is added to the total owed on the defendants violations. The warrant will not be lifted until your balance (including the additional 30%) is paid in full.

 

WARNING: IF YOU FAIL TO DISPOSE OF YOUR ACTIVE WARRANTS. THE OAK RIDGE NORTH WARRANT DIVISION WILL ACTIVELY PURSUE YOUR ARREST AT YOUR HOME, PLACE OF BUSINESS OR ANY OTHER LOCATION.
