Who Issues Warrants in Tullahoma
In Tennessee an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Tullahoma that means the Coffee 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.
For Coffee County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at coffeecountytn.gov/327/Public-Court-Records (page title: Public Court Records | Coffee County, TN), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Tullahoma
The Coffee County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Tullahoma (filed by the FBI as Tullahoma Police Department) serve warrants in and around Tullahoma.

How to Check for a Warrant in Tullahoma
The places to check for a warrant from Tullahoma:
- 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.
Not one of the Coffee 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 Tullahoma
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Tullahoma starts with the Circuit Court Clerk and the Clerk and Master: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the General Sessions Court is handled by that court, not by the Coffee 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-14.
