    Default Getting Arrested at the Airport

    My question involves an arrest warrant from the State of: Texas

    I want to know if you can get arrested at the airport for outstanding warrants for traffic tickets. I read other post about international travel but I am traveling from Texas to Colorado and back to Texas. I have read about people being arrested for felony warrants but I'm not sure about warrants for unpaid traffic tickets.

    Here's a wild idea: Pay off the tickets.

    Nobody can promise you that you're not going to get picked up at the airport, particularly if the traffic tickets are local to the airport. I don't think it's likely, but alas, I cannot predict the future and some people do get picked up at the airport.

    Thanks for your reply. You can't pay tickets when you don't have the money. The reason I'm flying out of town is for training for a new job. I plan on paying the tickets and clearing my name ASAP. I don't like the fact that this is hanging over my head. I think I might need to ride a bus instead of risking getting arrested at the airport.

    Um.

    You do understand that you can't ride the Greyhound anonymously anymore, right? It's not unheard of for people to be nabbed at bus and train stations, either.

    I agree with the above.

    Typically, they do not run your traffic records at the airport.

    However, if they, by some method, find your warrant or if that warrant has been attached to your name for travel purposes, the law officers at the airport MUST arrest you.

    Thank you everyone for the replies.
    Can I call the NCIC and check to see if I would be able to fly? I think I read another thread and a lady called and found out she was OK to fly. I can't wait to get those tickets paid off, this is stressful. Thanks again to all that answered.
