You bought a house since 06? I’m so sorry to hear that. ☹  
[/QUOTE]

Heh. I don’t plan on selling it anytime soon, especially now I know it was the home of notorious drug dealer.

[QUOTE=El\_Kabong]  
Would it be bad if I just went down to the police station and said, “Hey, got any warrants out on me?”  
[/QUOTE]

Or you could just [search the public records](http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/TX_Montgomery.htm).

Well, it is seventeen years later and I haven’t “reoffended”, so I guess so. 🙂

It was quite comical, actually. I had no cash on me to pay the fine, so they had to put me in a communal holding cell until my dad brought cash to spring me. One fine young lady (whom I assume, by the looks and smell of her, was in for either public drunkeness or solitation), asked me what I was in for. When I told her, she screeched “They put you in jail for that???” with this face :eek:

To add insult to injury, it wasn’t even my dog.

I was going to post my experience with the same situation (new home owner, old shady renter), but now all I can do is keep from giggling too loud and disturbing my co-workers.

Same with Mormon missionaries. Too dangerous to propagate the faith solo, lest ye be led into temptation, or worse, swayed by a Doubter.

Seems to me that, if the pairs were mixed-sex, they could propagate the faith all on their own without bothering the rest of us heathens.

[QUOTE=Clothahump]  
And if they weren’t able to serve the warrant immediately after issue, it’s been sitting there with old information on it, such as the address that is no longer valid for the individual named. More than likely, it was a last attempt before the warrant is sent back to the issuing court as unserveable.  
[/quote]

Or, they’ll come by again, make a full blown raid, and toss your ass in the slammer for a few years. because they’ve found a half-dozen (or more) professional jail-house snitches to corroborate their “evidence.”
