Weslaco Municipal Court has Warrant Amnesty Program in May 2010 Weslaco - The City of Weslaco will be conducting an Amnesty Program in the month of May 2010 on all outstanding warrants pending before the Weslaco Municipal Court. Many cities in the Valley conduct amnesty programs at different times throughout the year, focusing on violators with outstanding Class “C” misdemeanor warrants, most of which are traffic related.

The Amnesty Program offers an opportunity for the court to be proactive with its case resolution while sending a message to defendants to take care of their business. This also allows a court to increase warrant clearance by focusing on a period of time during which a warrant may be removed.

Persons with outstanding warrants can avoid arrest by coming to the Weslaco Municipal Court at 901 N Airport Dr, Weslaco, Texas, and making appropriate arrangements. No arrest will be made on the people that show up voluntarily to court. The Failure to Appear fine will be waived and the warrant for arrest will be recalled. Call 956.968.6123 for more information on how to dispose of pending warrants and avoid arrest during the Amnesty Program.
