Who Issues Warrants in Gladewater
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Gladewater that means the Gregg 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.
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 District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases.

- The court file of the case, through the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases at 903-236-8430, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 903-236-8440, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
