Who Issues Warrants in Randall County
In Texas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Randall County that means the Randall 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 Randall County
The places to check for a warrant from Randall County:
- 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 806-468-5570, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Randall County Sheriff's Office at randallso.gov/inmateSearch, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Randall County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, 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 Randall County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Randall 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.
