What is a Bench Warrant in Texas?

A bench warrant is an arrest order issued by a judge, typically for failing to appear in court (also known as bail jumping). Unlike warrants issued by police, bench warrants can stem from various situations, including:

• Skipping a court hearing  
• Ignoring a court summons
• Violating probation or parole terms

Texas Bench Warrant Penalties:

Ignoring a bench warrant can lead to harsh consequences, including:

• Fines:  Ranging from $500 to $4,000 depending on the severity of the original offense.
• Jail Time:  Up to a year in jail for a Class A misdemeanor, or even longer for felony offenses.
• Increased Charges:  The original charges you missed the court date for might be magnified.
