Who Issues Warrants in Eagle County
In Colorado an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Eagle County that means the Eagle County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $25,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and civil cases up to $25,000, 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.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the clerk of the combined court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Eagle County
The places to check for a warrant from Eagle County:
- The court file of the case, through the clerk of the combined court at 970-328-6373, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 970-328-8685, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Eagle County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Eagle County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Eagle County starts with the clerk of the combined court at 970-328-6373: 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 County Court is handled by that court, not by the Eagle County District Court.
