Is there a way to clear a warrant by phone or mail?
A. Generally, no. Calling the court or writing a letter once a warrant is issued will have no affect. A court appearance is normally required to take care of a case with a warrant, and in some cases, time in jail is required. If a defendant knows about an outstanding warrant, they should not wait to be arrested. Contacting the Court for information on how to clear it, or hiring an attorney is a better option than doing nothing.
