Houston Warrant Search: How To Check For An Active Warrant
An active arrest warrant is a judicial order that authorizes law enforcement to take a person accused of an offense into custody. It does not establish guilt or mean the person has been convicted. Warrants can arise from different types of criminal and municipal cases, and the appropriate court or agency varies based on the type of case.

How To Search For A Warrant In Houston And Harris County
You can search for warrant and case records through the appropriate court or agency below. Have the identifying information requested by the applicable system available before you begin.
- Class A and B misdemeanor warrants: Use the Harris County Sheriff’s Office warrant search. Search by last name, SPN number or date of birth. Partial name searches work.
- Felony warrants and criminal court records: Use the Harris County District Clerk’s search. Search with your name and date of birth. A case number can also assist with identification.
- Traffic and city of Houston ordinance cases: Visit Houston Municipal Courts or call 713-247-5479. Have identifying information available when you contact the court.
- Fine-only county cases: Use the Harris County Justice of the Peace case search. Search by case number, driver’s license number, or last name and date of birth.
If your search returns a warrant, or you still have concerns after checking these resources, consider speaking with a criminal defense attorney about your situation.
