Who Issues Warrants in Coosa County
In Alabama an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Coosa County that means the Coosa County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $20,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and preliminary hearings in felony cases, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Circuit Clerk keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Coosa County
Whether a warrant is out from Coosa County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Alacourt, the statewide online index of Alabama trial court cases, sold by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, phone 256-354-3578, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Coosa County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is not open to the public in Alabama, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Coosa County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Coosa County starts with the Circuit Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Coosa County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at coosacountyal.com/district-attorney, phone 256-354-3578.
