Who Issues Warrants in Eureka County
In Nevada an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Eureka County that means the District Court for Eureka County, which hears felonies, civil cases over $15,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, evictions and civil cases up to $15,000, 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 County Clerk.

How to Check for a Warrant in Eureka County
The places to check for a warrant from Eureka County:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at 775.237.5540, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone (775) 753-1187, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Eureka 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 Nevada Department of Public Safety Records, Communications and Compliance Division is not open to the public in Nevada, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Eureka County

A missed date in a case before the Justice Court is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Eureka County.
