A warrant the courts put out when you fail to show up at court, asking you to pay for the cost of issuing a warrant for your arrest.
“if you have a family law case going on and you get behind in your child support, the DMV can snatch a license away, they can also the DMV can take your license for failing to show up at court. So in another video that we made, we talked about well do you have to show up at court, one good reason to show up at court is, if you don't show up at court, the courts will put out what's called an OJ W. It's called an outstanding judgment warrant. What that means is they'll put out basically they're asking you to pay for the cost of issuing a warrant for your arrest. So anytime someone fails to appear at court, then the court system has to issue a warrant. It costs money to do everything in this world.”
“So it costs about 30 bucks in the state of Colorado to issue a warrant for someone's arrest. And so they will put a hold on the court system saying hey, there's an outstanding judgment warrant $30 fee, but then they'll report you to the DMV and the DMV will snag your license. So this becomes especially tricky if you are charged with something and aren't aware of it and then you fail to show up and then you have no valid license.”
“There are ways that the DMV can also get to your license for having certain charges like vehicular assaults and things that are compounded DUIs, basically, and they can revoke your license for longer periods of time. But the most common way we see the DMV affected or your license affected by criminal cases are by getting points by failing to make child support payments, and DUI related things like having a high BAC or being charged with DUI at all. And then the other way is by having that OJ W put in place and then having your license pulled.”
