Who Issues Warrants in Laredo
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Laredo that means the Webb 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.
Who Serves Warrants in Laredo
The Webb County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Laredo (filed by the FBI as Laredo Police Department) serve warrants in and around Laredo.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies and two campus police departments in Webb County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Webb County is whichever one finds the person; a Texas warrant is valid across Texas.
Together, the two agencies in Webb County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,791 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.

The one Webb County page SearchSystems verified, the sheriff's, is not a list of open warrants.
Clearing a Warrant from Laredo

For a case from Laredo that means appearing before the Webb 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 Webb County District Court.
