Who Issues Warrants in Marshall
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Marshall that means the Harrison 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.
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 Marshall

The FBI's agency list also places six other agencies in Harrison County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.

How to Check for a Warrant in Marshall
The place to check for a warrant from Marshall is the District Attorney, phone (903) 935-8408, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Harrison County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the prosecutor's) 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 Marshall
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Marshall that means appearing before the Harrison 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 Harrison County District Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at harrisoncountytexas.gov/page/DistrictAttorney, phone (903) 935-8408.
