Who Issues Warrants in Lewisburg
In Tennessee an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lewisburg that means the Marshall County Circuit and Chancery Courts, which hear felonies in the Circuit or Criminal Court, civil cases in either court, and divorces in either; the General Sessions Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and preliminary hearings, 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 Circuit Court Clerk and the Clerk and Master.

How to Check for a Warrant in Lewisburg
Whether a warrant is out from Lewisburg shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Court Clerk and the Clerk and Master, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney General, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Marshall County Sheriff's Office at sheriffmarshallcounty.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Marshall 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Lewisburg
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Lewisburg that means appearing before the Marshall County Circuit and Chancery Courts or the General Sessions Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Circuit Court Clerk and the Clerk and Master.
A missed date in a case before the General Sessions Court is handled by that court, not by the Marshall County Circuit and Chancery Courts.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney General's page SearchSystems verified is at tennesseeda.gov/district-17.
