How Does an Arrest Warrant in Tarrant County Get Issued?
Arrest warrants issued in Dallas County follow a specific legal process. Below are the steps involved:
Step 1: Investigation by Law Enforcement
The Fort Worth Police Department or the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office investigates an alleged offense and collects evidence related to the suspected violation, which may involve misdemeanor crimes, felony crimes, or ongoing criminal investigations.
Step 2: Probable Cause Is Presented to a Judge
Law enforcement agencies must present probable cause to a judge before an arrest warrant can be issued. Police or the sheriff’s department cannot authorize a warrant independently.
Step 3: Judge Reviews the Request
A judge reviews the probable cause information to determine whether legal grounds exist to issue an arrest warrant.
Step 4: Arrest Warrant Is Issued
If the judge approves the request, an arrest warrant is formally issued for Tarrant County.
Step 5: Warrant Can Be Executed
Once issued, you may be arrested at your home, workplace, school, during a traffic stop, or when renewing your driver’s license.
Reasons You May Have an Arrest Warrant in Tarrant County
- I got a call from a Detective at the Fort Worth Police Department asking me questions. Do you know if I have a warrant coming?
- I think there may be a warrant issued for me. My family received a phone call from an Investigator at the Fort Worth Police Department asking questions about me and wanting to know where I worked.
- I heard from a source that I'm being investigated. Do I have an active warrant?
- The Fort Worth Police Department or a warrant division officer was at my house looking for me. Do I have an arrest warrant?
- I missed a required court date at a municipal court or the Tarrant County Courthouse for a citation involving misdemeanor offenses.

Common Arrest Warrant Questions Our Warrant Team is Asked
How Do I Check if I Have Warrants in Tarrant County?
To check Tarrant County active warrants, you typically need to contact a licensed bondsman or a criminal attorney. Public access to criminal warrant information is limited, and the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office does not release warrant details to the general public.
Is There a Free Tarrant County Warrant Lookup Online?

Some Justice of the Peace Courts and municipal courts offer limited online access for certain misdemeanor matters. In addition, licensed professionals may provide a free Tarrant County warrant lookup as part of their services.
How Long Do Tarrant County Warrants Last?
There is no statute of limitations once a warrant is issued. Arrest warrants and outstanding warrants in Tarrant County remain active indefinitely until resolved through a court hearing or final judgment.

Why Can’t I Find Public Access to Tarrant County Warrants?
Public access to Tarrant County warrants is restricted. Warrant information is typically provided only to licensed bondsmen, attorneys, or law enforcement agencies. Some warrants may be sealed due to ongoing investigations or to protect minors.
How Do I Clear a Tarrant County Warrant Safely?
The safest way to clear a Tarrant County warrant is to consult an experienced criminal attorney first to determine whether to contest the case or plead. An attorney can arrange a controlled self-surrender, which may demonstrate responsibility to the court before you plead or enter a guilty plea, and potentially reduce bond conditions.
How Does Bail Work for Warrant Arrests in Tarrant County?
After a warrant arrest, bail may be posted using a Cash Bond or a Surety Bond, which may involve a fee and required payment. Posting bond can allow you to secure a new court date without remaining in jail, depending on the type of warrant and the court's requirements.
Do Justice of the Peace or Municipal Courts Handle Warrants?
Yes. Justice of the Peace Courts and municipal courts handle many Class C misdemeanor cases, which often involve fines. Some Justice of the Peace Courts also provide an active warrants search for misdemeanor matters, depending on the issuing court.
Can Outstanding Warrants Affect Travel?
Yes. Outstanding warrants can significantly impact travel, particularly if you are stopped by law enforcement or encounter background checks. Knowing your rights regarding warrants and addressing the issue promptly can help minimize unexpected disruptions.
Who Issues Arrest Warrants in Tarrant County?
An arrest warrant can only be issued by a judge after probable cause is established and the court makes a formal note in the case. Law enforcement agencies, including the Fort Worth Police Department and the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department, cannot authorize a warrant on their own.
