QUASHING BENCH WARRANTS

If you ever miss a mandatory court appearance in Colorado, the judge will issue a bench warrant. Once you have a bench warrant, you are vulnerable to being arrested at any time, such as during traffic stops when the police run your name. In addition, the court could notify the DMV, which could result in your license getting revoked.

The only way to get a bench warrant recalled is to file a “motion to quash” with the court. Then the court will schedule a hearing on the matter. In many misdemeanor cases, your attorney can appear at this hearing on your behalf. But in felony cases – or if you have a history of missing court – you will probably have to appear in person.

If you do attend the motion to quash hearing, there is always a chance that you can be taken into custody. But in practice, judges are usually reasonable about recalling bench warrants—though there may be conditions to quashing a warrant, such as paying court fees.
