Who Issues Warrants in La Feria
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For La Feria that means the Cameron 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.
Texas has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.

How to Check for a Warrant in La Feria
The places to check for a warrant from La Feria:
- The District Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Cameron County Sheriff's Office at cameroncountytx.gov/incoming/inmates/site, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Cameron County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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 La Feria

For a case from La Feria that means appearing before the Cameron County District Court or the County Courts and Justice Courts, with the case put back on the calendar through the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases.
A missed date in a case before the County Courts and Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the Cameron County District Court.
