Who Issues Warrants in Oklahoma County
In Oklahoma an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Oklahoma County that means the Oklahoma County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. 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 Court Clerk keeps that file.
For Oklahoma County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at oklahoma.gov/occ/court-dockets/docket-results.html (page title: Docket Results), 2401 North Lincoln Blvd. Oklahoma City, OK 73105, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
