The warrant forgiveness program allows people to use community service hours to pay off fees from outstanding warrants.
PUBLISHED 1:02 AM CDT May. 20, 2022FORT WORTH, Texas — A lack of funds is what keeps many Texans from taking steps to resolve outstanding arrest warrants.
“I’ve always loved the idea of joining the Air Force,” Davis said. “I want to be an example of what it means to serve my country.” “It was crazy. We had no clue what we were doing,” said Judge Rodgers. “Not only did the dozens of people come to the event where we were out in the community, [but] they [also] came here to the court building. They were literally waiting for us to get here in the morning.”
“We had one couple tell us how anytime they were out and saw a police officer, they would turn,” said Judge Rodgers. “They would go in a different direction because they were afraid of getting pulled over and someone discovering they had warrants. They didn’t want to get arrested with their children in the car. There’s a lot of consequences that can flow from that.”
Human interest reporter Lupe Zapata and Fort Worth resident Jessa Davis discuss her dreams of one day being in the Air Force.
