So I have a warrant out for my arrest. I've heard I can't be arrested at work, at night, on a Sunday, or on a holiday. Is any of that true?
No. There are many myths surrounding the service of Municipal Court Warrants, most of them entirely false and groundless. If you have a warrant for your arrest, you CAN be arrested at your place of business, you CAN be arrested on Sunday, and you CAN be arrested on a Holiday or at night. If you have a warrant out for your arrest, contact the Court immediately.

I have some tickets I didn't take care of.....are they warrants? How do I take care of them?
Generally speaking, your tickets won’t simply vanish. If you’ve failed to appear or respond, it is highly likely that you’ve had a warrant issued for your arrest. If you believe you have a warrant out for your arrest, you should contact the Rowlett Municipal Court or the Marshals office without delay.
