Dear Citizens of Austin County,
The Austin County Sheriff’s Office has received phone calls from citizens informing us of phone calls they have received informing them that a warrant of arrest has been issued for them and if they don’t pay money immediately they will be picked up and put in jail. This is NOT TRUE! This is a SCAM! No law enforcement agency will ever contact citizens by phone and make that demand. If you receive any of these types of phone calls, DO NOT SEND MONEY. Please contact the Austin County Sheriff’s Office @ 979-865-3111 and report the incident. In an emergency please call 911.
Thank You.
