Who Issues Warrants in Archer County
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Archer County that means the Archer 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 District Attorney, phone (940) 894-6211, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Archer County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court'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.

A missed date in a case before the County Courts and Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the Archer County District Court.
