Unpaid tickets can bring jail during the Great Texas Warrant Roundup
By BARBARA GREEN
If you have an outstanding warrant or delinquent traffic ticket, you may want to get it taken care of as quickly as possible so you don’t get caught up in the 2017 Great Texas Warrant Roundup beginning this week.
This year some 300 local law enforcement agencies statewide, including all the justice of the peace courts and city courts in Montague County, will join forces for the roundup. Those who have active arrest warrants on old, unpaid citations were notified by mail and telephone through Feb. 25.
Those with warrants were advised to contact the courts and encouraged to pay off outstanding fines. These violations stem from an outstanding warrants, delinquent traffic tickets, misdemeanor Class C citations or parking tickets.
This is the 11th year for the warrant roundup in Texas and the largest one conducted in the country.
All city courts and justice of the peace courts in Montague County are all participating.

Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
