Feb. 24, 2011 - The Texas state-wide Warrant Round up is fast approaching. The City of Leonard - in league with over 150 other law enforcement agencies across the State of Texas - will be working together to track down and arrest those individuals who currently have outstanding warrants. Efforts to gain compliance with the law will not end with the warrant roundup. Leonard Police will actively continue to serve warrants and make arrests even after the Warrant Round Up. In addition all warrants have been reported to the State of Texas and you will be unable to renew or obtain your Driver's License until all citations are paid in full. If you have received a citation - DO NOT IGNORE IT. The consequences could be very embarrassing for you and your family.
