This Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to noon, the city's Municipal Court will turn Wedgwood Baptist Church into a justice hub for anyone buried in citations, dubbing the one-day bonanza a Court in the Community/Warrant Forgiveness event. You heard it: no threat of arrest, just the chance to make things right, folks can show up at 5522 Whitman Ave to deal with traffic beef, local ordinance mishaps, and other legal fender benders, according to the City of Fort Worth.
The queue's a first-come, first-served affair for up to 120 souls with Class C misdemeanors, but before you trek, give a ring to 817-392-6700—you know, to iron out the deets. Court Director William Rumuly rolled out the welcome mat, saying, "I encourage anyone who has an outstanding citation with the Fort Worth Municipal Court to contact us immediately so we can provide options to move those cases to a final resolution," he's big on this Safe Harbor Court angle meaning arrests aren't part of the equation if you step forward voluntarily, his pitch goes a little something like this, as per the City of Fort Worth.
To top it off, the event is serving up life boosts with more than just legal bandaids. Goodwill North Central Texas is pitching job opportunities and career coaching, while the City's EnVision Center and Community Action Partners will toss a lifeline to anyone drowning in late rent and utilities. All pro bono, no appointments, just come as you are. You can snatch up some career advice while settling legal scores and maybe even tackle that resume that’s been collecting dust, it's a veritable one-stop-shop for turning the page.
