How Does a Bexar County Warrant Get Issued?
Arrest warrants issued in Dallas County follow a specific legal process. Below are the steps involved:
Step 1: Investigation Begins
Law enforcement investigates an alleged offense and gathers evidence related to the case, which may involve criminal investigations into assault & domestic violence, sex crimes, or other felony crimes.
Step 2: Probable Cause Is Presented to a Judge
The San Antonio Police Department or the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department submits information and evidence to a judge showing probable cause. Police agencies themselves cannot issue warrants.
Step 3: Judge Reviews the Request
A judge reviews the facts and determines whether probable cause exists to justify issuing an arrest warrant in Bexar County.
Step 4: Arrest Warrant Is Issued
An arrest warrant in Bexar County can only be issued by a judge as a formal court order when they approve the request.
Step 5: Warrant Can Be Executed
Once issued, the warrant allows law enforcement to arrest the individual at their home, workplace, school, during a traffic stop, or when renewing a driver’s license.
This whole process is similar to what is being followed in other counties like Travis, Dallas, and Tarrant County, since they all fall under the same Texas state law.

Common Arrest Warrant Questions Our Warrant Team is Asked
How Do I Check if I Have Warrants in Bexar County?
You can inquire about criminal or civil warrants by contacting the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. You will typically need to provide the person’s full name and date of birth when calling the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Some warrant details may not be publicly available, although the Bexar County Justice Information Portal provides access to certain court records and fugitive search information.
Do Warrants in Bexar County Expire?
No. Once a warrant is issued in Bexar County, it remains active until it is resolved or formally canceled by the court, regardless of how much time has passed.
Should I Contact the Court Directly if I Believe I Have an Outstanding Warrant?
It is generally not recommended to contact court staff directly about a warrant. Doing so may lead to immediate arrest. Consulting an experienced criminal defense attorney before taking any action is usually the safer approach.
Can an Attorney Help Me Avoid a Public Arrest by the San Antonio Police Department?
Yes. A criminal defense attorney can often coordinate with the San Antonio Police Department to arrange a controlled walkthrough or scheduled surrender to resolve a warrant, which may help reduce the risk of a public or unexpected arrest.
Where Is the Bexar County Jail Located for Matters Related to Bail?
The Bexar County Jail is located at 200 N. Comal St., San Antonio, TX 78207. Bail payments and related processing are handled at the jail once the bond has been set.
Who Determines the Bond Amount in Bexar County?
Bond amounts are set by a Bexar County Magistrate, and active warrants can impact bail eligibility. The amount depends on factors such as the charge, criminal history, and whether the case involves a parole or probation issue.
Can I Resolve a Warrant by Paying a Fine?
Some warrants related to municipal fines or fees may be resolved by payment. During certain municipal “warrant roundup” periods, fines may be reduced if paid within a set timeframe.
Where Should I Search for Traffic Tickets or Municipal Warrants?
For traffic tickets or city ordinance violations, you should use the City of San Antonio Municipal Court search system rather than county-level databases.
Will All Warrants Appear in Online Searches?
No. Some warrants, including certain felony cases, Blue Warrants for parole violations, or cases involving ongoing investigations or minors, may not appear in public online search tools.
What Happens if I Miss a Court Date in Bexar County?
Missing a required court appearance usually results in a Failure to Appear (FTA) warrant, and there may be options if you missed a court date, depending on the charge. This type of warrant stays active until addressed and may limit bond options, especially if other violations are involved.
