Who Issues Warrants in Souderton
In Pennsylvania an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Souderton that means the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, estates and juvenile matters; the Magisterial District Courts issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
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 Prothonotary for civil cases and divorces and the Clerk of Courts for criminal cases.

How to Check for a Warrant in Souderton
Whether a warrant is out from Souderton shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the Prothonotary for civil cases and divorces and the Clerk of Courts for criminal cases, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- UJS Web Portal, the Pennsylvania courts' free statewide docket search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, phone 610-278-3090, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at mcsojail.countygovservices.com, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Montgomery 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 Souderton
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Souderton that means appearing before the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas or the Magisterial District Courts, with the case put back on the calendar through the Prothonotary for civil cases and divorces and the Clerk of Courts for criminal cases.
A missed date in a case before the Magisterial District Courts is handled by that court, not by the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at montgomerycountypa.gov, phone 610-278-3090.
