Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

How do I do this without going to jail!?

I have a failure to appear in Garland, TX...my license needs to be renewed so I have to take care of it. However, I'm afraid that when I go in to pay for things, I'm going to be picked up. I can't lose my job! I just don't know what my options are.

Hire a lawyer to make arrangements prior to your appearance. Depending the age and nature of the warrant, you may have to be booked in/out. If you go in to get it renewed, you will probably be arrested on the FTA. Either hire a lawyer, and be prepared to pay the bond, or if you want to handle it yourself, make sure that you make your bond arrangements prior to surrender.
