Who Issues Warrants in Jackson
In Wyoming an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Jackson that means the District Court for Teton County, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Circuit Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. 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 Clerk of District Court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Jackson
The places to check for a warrant from Jackson:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of District Court at 307-733-7713, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The County Attorney, phone 307-733-4012, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Teton 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.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation is not open to the public in Wyoming, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Jackson
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Jackson that means appearing before the District Court for Teton County or the Circuit Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of District Court.
A missed date in a case before the Circuit Court is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Teton County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at tetoncountywy.gov, phone 307-733-4012.
