No, once a warrant has legs, so to speak, the court system has procedures that kick in and have to take place. The time to pay the fine and get it over with is done. You will have to go to court and have a judge finalize your case. The exception to that would be traffic court, in some states you still can contact the traffic court and pay your dues, and they will cancel a warrant. For anything in the criminal system, you have to appear.
Don't get me wrong, you can take the initiative and contact the court to get that done! But you can't mail in a check and simply cancel the proceedings.

If these are just traffic warrants, all they want is their money. The only reason you would have to "turn yourself in" , be arrested, etc. is if you could not pay the fines. Then you would sit tight in jail while you waited to see a judge, and then most likely would be offered some kind of payment plan, or if you have no money you could just do the time. So if yours is just a case of unpaid fines, you can just pay them. Call the court that they are in, they will tell you how much to pay and then just go down and pay them, or send a friend down with the money. That is acceptable too. I had 2 warrants for no ins. and no reg., I wasnt even driving my car , it was my Moms, she had moved from another state and did not tell me her reg. and ins. were not current. Anyways I got the ticket, and just couldnt get the money together , the ins. alone was 900.00. Anyways , they went into warrant. So when I got the money I called the courthouse, she gave me the amounts, I gave her my credit card number, and two days later I got a paid in full letter in the mail, squashing the warrants. It should be easy to take care of. Good luck to you.

depends on what they're for.... I payed a parking ticket late (metor violation...no prior tickets, no criminal background and am in school to BE a police officer) and they sent my check back saying that a warrant has already been issued. (talk about not messing around) Anway, read your warrant. The constable's (or whomever dropped the warrant off) phone number should be there... just call him... ask him if you can pay the fines, explain how sorry you are that you're behind and then take your a$$ down to wherever you have to go and PAY them... otherwise you'll be looking over your shoulder and if you happen to get pulled over, you'll be hanging out in jail....... if it's something stupid, like mine was..... it was just another money maker.... you'll owe more for constable costs, etc..... just get it paid.

in some cases you can. Depends on what the warrents for. Some warrents are "body only" meaning they will areest you anyways. And some warrents can be taken care of by paying a fine. Call the clerk of courts

Go to the court house and pay the fines.. you can call them and ask how much you owe. and then go get the cash to pay for them.

You'll have to go in, be arrested, bond back out.
Better to do it when you want to -rather than when they catch you.
