Who Issues Warrants in Tulsa County
In Oklahoma an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Tulsa County that means the Tulsa 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at courtclerk.tulsacounty.org (page title: Don Newberry, Tulsa County Court Clerk), phone 918-596-5420, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, not to the Tulsa County District Court.
