Who Issues Warrants in Kendall County
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Kendall County that means the Kendall 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.
For Kendall County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at kendallcountytx.gov/QuickLinks.aspx?CID=59 (page title: Quick Links, County Clerk | Official Records), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
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 Kendall County
Whether a warrant is out from Kendall County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 830-249-9343, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Kendall County pages SearchSystems verified (the court'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 Kendall County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Kendall County starts with the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the County Courts and Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the Kendall County District Court.
