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

How to Check for a Warrant in Kerr County
Whether a warrant is out from Kerr 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 at 830-792-2255, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 830-896-4744, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Kerr 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Kerr County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Kerr County starts with the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases at 830-792-2255: 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 Kerr County District Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at kerrcountytx.gov, phone 830-896-4744.
