So when you don't show up to court, the city puts out a warrant and an Omni hold on your driver's license. According to the Transportation Code, section 706, the hold should be lifted when I post bond. However, the city doesn't want to follow this law. Any suggestions?

OmniBase won't clear a hold until they receive some kind of record from the city court. Many cities are lax about conveying the information because their courts are clogged with cases.

A quick way to solve your problem would be to go to one of the municipal court judges in Cowtown with a copy of the bond. He/she might get his clerk to log the information into the system so that OmniBase gets it and lifts the hold.
