Who Issues Warrants in Alamo Heights
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Alamo Heights that means the Bexar County District Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit; the County Courts and Justice Courts issue their own warrants on the cases before them. 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 District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases keep that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at bexar.org/3021/Searches-Records (page title: Justice System Searches & Records | Bexar County, TX), phone 210-335-2011, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Alamo Heights
The places to check for a warrant from Alamo Heights:
- The court file of the case, through the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases at 210-335-2011, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 210-335-2311, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Bexar 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 Alamo Heights

A missed date in a case before the County Courts and Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the Bexar County District Court.
