Texas Traffic Warrants

Traffic Citation & Warrant Information

For a driving ticket you never paid, or a missed traffic court date — a good starting point if you're not sure which court issued it.

This may be right for you if…
  • You got a speeding or traffic ticket and never paid it
  • You missed a traffic court date
  • You're not sure if an old ticket turned into a warrant, or which court would handle it

Justice Court

Class C Misdemeanors & Traffic Citations

For fine-only tickets and Class C misdemeanors handled by a Justice of the Peace — including many traffic citations, not just non-driving matters.

Citations may be issued by Harris County Constables, Sheriff's Deputies, and Texas State Troopers.

This may be right for you if…
  • You got a traffic ticket or another fine-only citation from a Justice of the Peace court
  • You were told to pay a fine and missed the deadline
  • Someone mentioned a "Class C" or "fine-only" charge

Class A & B Misdemeanor Warrant Search

For an arrest or charge more serious than a ticket, like theft or DWI.

This may be right for you if…
  • You were arrested or charged with something like theft, DWI, or assault
  • Someone told you your charge is a "misdemeanor"
  • You missed a court date for a charge that wasn't a traffic ticket

District Court

Felony Criminal Case Search

For the most serious charges in Texas. This category usually requires signing in directly with the court, so it's often best to start by understanding what it means.

This may be right for you if…
  • Someone told you your charge is a "felony"
  • Your case involves a serious charge, not a ticket or minor offense
  • You want to understand what District Court means before doing anything else
