How will the district attorney subpoena an unwilling witness?
By issuing a subpoena and confirming that the subpoena has been served on the wittness. If the person doesn't respond to the subpoena in some cases the DA can then ask for a Bench Warrant to issue. The wittness could then be arrested and asked questions while in custody. The potential witness is served a subpoena and is legally obligated to appear at the time stated or be charged with contempt of court. In which case a warrant will be issued for the person's arrest and after the person is taken into custody he or she will still be brought into court to testify. The prosecutor can request the court to deem the person a hostile witness and the judge can order the individual to answer questions put to them or face further contempt and obstruction charges.
How much does it cost to get a search warrant or a subpoena or a court order?
An individual cannot 'pay' to get a subpoena, search warrant, or court order. You do pay an attorney to petition the court.
Should you have been arrested on a warrant when the warrant was issued in 2006 and you were arrested in 2010?
A warrant is a judicial order for an arrest. If the warrant was still valid, the law enforcement officer has no choice but to make an arrest.
What does it mean to receive a subpoena?
Exactly what it means depends on the content of the subpoena. In general terms, a subpoena is a court order to produce evidence, which can include testimony. If the subpoena commands you to appear and testify in court, then you must do so or you can be arrested for contempt of court.
If you are not home when a warrant is served can the police contact landlord in order to enter?
Yes, an occupant or resident is not required to be present when a search warrant is served.
When the police book you in after they arrest you without a warrant can they charge you with a crime before they get a warrant in the state of Texas?
A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
Must you answer a subpoena within 10 days?
A subpoena is not something you answer. A subpoena is a court order requiring you to appear in court. States have a certain amount of time in which you must be served with the subpoena prior to the court date, ranging from 2 days to as long as 14 days. Your state may require 10 days notice. In any event, if you have been served with a subpoena, you need to appear as directed. If you cannot appear, you should contact the party who issued the subpoena and discuss your problem.
What do we call the court order which forces witnesses for accused to appear and testify in court whether they want to or not?
That would be a subpoena. This instrument requires a accused or witness to come to court. Generally it is used for witnesses more than for an accused. Once they are indicted they know when they have to come to court.
Do you have to answer information subpoena?
Yes, you do as long as you are the judgment debtor of the person serving the subpoena on you and as long as it was issued properly. If you ignore the subpoena, the creditor could apply to the court for an order directing you to answer it. If the order is served on you and you still refuse to answer it, the creditor can apply for an order to hold you in contempt of the court order, which could subject you to arrest. This type of arrest is not a criminal arrest, but the court might decide to keep you in jail until you do answer the information subpoena.

What is a non bailable warrant?
"Non-bailable Warrant" means that a person arrested shall not be automatically entitled to be released on bail, unlike the Bailable Warrant, where the arrested person has an inherent right to be released on a suitable bond, upon the arrest. It however needs to be known the court may or may not order the person arrested under a Non Bailable Warrant, to be released on a suitable bail - with or without any conditions.
