Q: What is a Texas Blue Warrant? A: A blue warrant is issued against a prisoner who has violated his parole terms (whether he failed to meet with his parole officer, committed a crime or disobeyed a certain court order). This warrant authorizes any law officer to arrest him/her on the spot.
Q: There is a warrant on my name in Texas. I live in Washington DC and I am planning to get married. Can this warrant hinder me from fulfilling my wedding plans? A: It is all a matter of the gravity of your crime for which the warrant was issued. If it is homicide, you will probably get married behind bars. If it is only class C misdemeanor, Texas’ authorities won’t bother to spend their time on it. You should consult a lawyer and inform him/her with the specific details.
Q: When does the the Statue of Limitation time starts counting and can it be delayed ? A: Of course, there are cases in which the Statue of Limitation time has ceased running. These are quite rare cases but they certainly can occur especially when the defendant does not reside in the state.
