San Marcos Police are joining law enforcement officials from across the state in a warrant round-up today. Bobcat Update's Aaron Derton has the story.
Being served a warrant sounds like something out of a TV show or a movie -- but that's not what this round-up is about.

Most of these warrants are for minor offenses such as parking and speeding tickets. Deputy Marshal Jeff Seaholm says clearing up warrants is a way to make there are no problems later when driver's licenses or passports are issued.
SB
Seaholm says people with outstanding fines or warrants can go to the Hays County Government Center during business hours to clear things up. You won't be arrested for showing up. Having warrants delivered to you at home is a concern for law enforcement officials following the death of Officer Ken Copeland last year. Copeland was shot to death when he attempted to deliver a warrant. City officials say new safety procedures have been implemented. For Bobcat Update, I'm Aaron Derton.
