“We’ve seen over the last four years a warrant explosion in Harris County,” said Capt. Max Turner, with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. “We went over 6,000 warrants in the last two months. We had not seen that before.”
According to Turner, HCSO went from receiving an average of 4,085 warrants a month in 2018 to seeing an average of 5,476 warrants a month in 2021. Local officials are not the only ones seeing an increase in warrants, the US Marshals Service for the southern district of Texas, which runs from the Houston area to Brownsville, is seeing an increase as well.
