What Is a Warrant Walk-Through?

A warrant walk-through (also called a "self-surrender") is the process of voluntarily turning yourself in to resolve an outstanding warrant — rather than waiting to be arrested unexpectedly. When you work with Bail Bonds Express, we prepare your bond in advance so it can be posted the moment you are booked, dramatically reducing the time you spend in custody.

Outstanding warrants in Travis County don't go away on their own. Whether it's a bench warrant for a missed court date, a capias for an unpaid fine, or an arrest warrant for a new charge, the sooner you address it, the better your outcome is likely to be.

Bail Bonds Express has been a licensed Travis County Bail Bond Board Representative since 2008. We are located near the Travis County jail at 600 W. 28th St., Suite 106-B, Austin, TX 78705, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Types of Warrants in Travis County

Arrest Warrants

Issued by a judge when there is probable cause to believe a person has committed a crime. An arrest warrant authorizes law enforcement to take the named individual into custody at any time.

Bench Warrants

Issued directly by a judge ("from the bench") when a defendant fails to appear in court, violates probation, or fails to pay a fine. Bench warrants are very common and can be resolved through a warrant walk-through.

Capias Warrants

Similar to a bench warrant, a capias is issued when a defendant fails to appear or comply with a court order. These are common in Travis County and can often be resolved without spending time in jail.

Search Warrants

Authorize law enforcement to search a specific location for evidence. Search warrants do not directly result in arrest but may lead to charges that require a bail bond.
