Montgomery County Arrest Warrants
Montgomery County is one of the larger counties in Texas. With that comes the potential for a high crime rate. If you have an arrest warrant in Montgomery County the police have the authority to arrest you at any time. Any warrant that hasn't been resolved becomes an outstanding or active warrant with the court system. It's important to know if you have a warrant in your name so you can clear yourself by paying the fine or hiring a lawyer to help you in a criminal case.
For a warrant to be valid it must state the person’s name or describe identifying features if the name is not known. It must also state the crime the person is accused of and be signed by a judge in order for law enforcement to carry out a legal arrest. A judge determines whether or not to issue an arrest warrant based on probable cause. This is proven by evidence gathered against the suspect that shows their almost certain involvement in the crime committed. Once the judge has considered all evidence and probable cause has been established, an arrest warrant will then be issued to bring forth the suspect so he/she can answer to the crime(s) they are being charged with. Since America is based on the premise that all citizens are innocent until proven guilty, you will have your time to build a case in your defense.
