How can you check to see if you have outstanding checks or charges in the state of Texas?

Question

My husband was pulled over recently and was told by the officer that he had something he needed to take care of on his record. So he contacted the court to inquire about it and was told he had a warrant for and unpaid ticket. He went in to pay the ticket and was arrested for another warrant for a Theft by Check charge in the ajoining county. (I dont know why they didnt tell him about both when he called, we would have taken care of both at the same time.) Some years back my husband had some health problems and lost his job, subsequently we bounced several checks and even lost our bank account because we were broke. We thought we had paid all of the bounced checks but apparently not. We have not written any checks since then (about 3 years) because of all the trouble it caused, we use debit or cash only. And we are just now getting back on our feet financialy. He spent 12 hours in Harris county lock-up for something we didnt even know about. Now I am paranoid that there may be more.

Answer 1

You would have to contact the bank that the checks were written from.

Answer 2

Check your credit reports.
