Who Issues Warrants in Troup County
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Troup County that means the Troup County Superior Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit; the State Court and Magistrate Court issue their own warrants on the cases before them. 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 Clerk of Superior Court keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Troup County
Whether a warrant is out from Troup County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at 706 883 1740, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 706-883-1726, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Troup 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 Troup County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Troup County that means appearing before the Troup County Superior Court or the State Court and Magistrate Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of Superior Court.
A missed date in a case before the State Court and Magistrate Court is handled by that court, not by the Troup County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at troupcountyga.gov/Courts/Solicitor, phone 706-883-1726.
