Any court clerk will be able to assist you regarding warrant(s) arising from the issuance of City of Tyler tickets. The City of Tyler Municipal Court is a safe harbor. You may speak to a clerk by calling (903) 531-1266. If you come in voluntarily to address your warrant(s), you will not be arrested on the City of Tyler warrant(s).  

If a witness refuses to obey a subpoena he/she may be fined at the discretion of the court and writ of attachment may be issued. A writ of attachment is an order from the Judge to a law enforcement officer to immediately take this person into custody and bring them before the court.

Yes, but only if you enter a plea of "no contest" or "guilty". Upon a plea of "not guilty" the Judge is not allowed to hear any details of the case until the day of trial. This ensures fairness to both the defendant and the state. All conversations with the Judge must be in the courtroom or by virtual hearing. The Judge is not allowed to discuss the case outside of the courtroom or without the presence of both parties. The judge cannot take phone calls.
