Who Issues Warrants in College Station
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For College Station that means the Brazos 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.
