Who Issues Warrants in Mineral County
In Nevada an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Mineral County that means the District Court for Mineral 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.
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 County Clerk keeps that file.
