Can you find out who has an active arrest warrant in you county online?

Who do I turn to to find out who issued a warrant for my arrest in dallas county texas. Do I contact an attorney since they refuse to give me any information?

• Answer:

  First off, no one person can have a warrant issued. This is reserved for a judge that relies on information provided by a state's attorney or DA. (some states have a "felony review board" that can request a warrant be issued) Then after the warrant is signed by a judge or magistrate, it is given to the sherrifs department for execution. The clerks office will have the case file and supplies the information to all that request it. In most states, Texas included, the clerks office will give out the information about the warrant, and the issuing/requesting department, officer, or jurisdiction. (Sherrifs department, police department, DPS) Contact an attorney to look into your situation. Most will do this for you and let you know the particulars before taking it on for you.
