There are two types of warrants that can be issued for traffic violations in the state of Texas. The first is issued by the court when the involved party has no plea, usually from failing to appear. The second type, a capias warrant, is issued by civil courts. The intent of a capias warrant is to have the violating party comply with a court order. Usually, this is issued if money is owed to the court, or there are additional fees that have not been paid. Not appearing in court under a capias warrant will result in arrest.
A bench warrant can be issued by a judge if it is alleged that you violated probation. When placed on probation, there are various requirements that must be complied with or you will face serious legal consequences. If the prosecutor feels that there is reason to do so, they may request that your probation is revoked. A bench warrant can be issued for a court date in which you are ordered to appear; if you don’t appear, a bench warrant will have your name on it. You can be picked up by police anyplace, anytime.

These offenses could include failing to adhere to child support obligations or failing to appear in court as a witness or juror. If a bench warrant has been issued against you, law enforcement would have the right to take you into custody at any time and bring you before the judge.

An arrest warrant may only be issued by a judge if there is probable cause that the person in question has committed a crime. This means that the judge must be presented with a signed affidavit that contains written testimony from a law enforcement officer or another person who has issued a complaint. Regardless of where the arrest warrant is signed, the document will usually be effective throughout the entire state of Texas.
In order to be valid, however, the arrest warrant must contain:
