Who Issues Warrants in Garfield County
In Utah an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Garfield County that means the District Court for Garfield County, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and class A misdemeanors; the Justice Courts, which take traffic tickets, class B and C misdemeanors and small claims, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
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 clerk of court keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Garfield County
Whether a warrant is out from Garfield County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the clerk of court at 435-676-1104, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- MyCase and Xchange, free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone 435-676-1103, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Garfield 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.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is not open to the public in Utah, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Garfield County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Garfield County starts with the clerk of court at 435-676-1104: 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 Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Garfield County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at garfield.utah.gov/Departments/Attorney, phone 435-676-1103.
