Or at least that's what most people think.
The San Marcos Police Department and City Marshal's office are gearing up for a warrant roundup that will begin this Saturday. Officials say this is an opportunity for residents who may have unpaid traffic citations or other active warrants to take action now.

If residents fail to pay, they run the risk of having a hold placed on their drivers' license renewal or possibly being arrested.

The San Marcos Municipal Court has a 55-page list on their website of residents with outstanding fines or active warrants.

Bail Bondswoman Michelle Carbajal says the police should clarify what active warrants are.

Once arrested, residents will be brought in, processed, and either released or detained depending on the warrant. Texas State University Police Officer Sue Taylor says if anyone thinks they have an outstanding warrant against them, they should make arrangements to meet a judge.

Fines can be paid at the municipal court, located in the Hays County Government Center, 7-12 South Stagecoach Trail. For Bobcat Update, I'm Sarah Bey.
