Orange, TX asked in Criminal Law and Sexual Harassment for Texas

Q: Should I take a long planned flight to Mexico from Houston if I just found out a warrant may be issued while i'm gone?

I have round trip tickets and plan on only being gone for 4 days (this is a vacation trip) and returning to Houston promptly.

A: I have had clients arrested on warrants in the Houston airport. The arrests created problems for both the client and their traveling companions. It would be wise to hire a local criminal defense attorney to clear the warrant before your trip.
