The Longview Municipal Court is once again offering its warrant amnesty program from Jan . 1 through April 30 . Anyone with an active outstanding warrant through the court is encouraged to take this opportunity to save money and get a fresh start . Anyone that comes to the clerk’s office to take care of their outstanding warrants will be given safe harbor .
The warrant amnesty program began in January 2017 and has grown from a one - month to a four - month program . In 2021 , 555 warrants were cleared during the program .
From January to April , the Municipal Court will remove all warrant fees when a citizen voluntarily contacts the court to pay a minimum of one half the total amount due and start a payment plan for the balance owed .
As an added incentive , anyone that pays in full will also save an additional 20% off the fine amount . The percentage savings is only on the fine , not the court costs . The more you owe , the more you save!
The court also assists those individuals that may not be able to pay half down or pay in full , and will work out an agreeable action plan for anyone that is willing to make the effort to come in and clear up their warrants .
This year , residents can take advantage of the program by visiting the court in person or by telephone . Contact the Municipal Court at 903 - 237 - 1186 or at court@LongviewTexas . gov , or visit the court at 302 W . Cotton Street inside the Longview Police and Courts Building for more information .
