Knowing that there is a possibility that you have a warrant can make you paranoid but all you need to do is use the free public directory online.
This directory allows you to search the entire state of Texas but you can always filter the search by county.
Highlights
How To Search The Whole Texas (free)
Go to the free public directory online click on the “Child Support Evaders” link and you will find yourself on the Texas Attorney General’s child support evaders’ website page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “child support evaders” button.
The page that opens has all the passport-sized photos and names of all the child support evaders in the state.
The amount of child support they owe and other details are also listed. You can also do a free search for the “DEA Most Wanted” and so on. A shorter process is just typing a name on the search bars on the left of the free public directory home page. You type the first name, and the second name, and then choose the state from a drop-down list.
How To Search Warrants By County
State of Texas Active Warrants
You can use the drop-down lists to search by county. The county you choose may display the search results differently with details such as the photo not included. The best way to search for warrants on the free public directory site is by state.
If you are not really satisfied with the search results, you can use Truthfinder. On Truthfinder, just type the name of the person you want to search for and the state. If the name is common, they may ask you for the first letter of the person’s middle name and age to narrow down the search. It will do a search for the following:
- Phone numbers
- Bankruptcies
- Felonies
- Judgments
- Mugshots
- Arrest records
- Misdemeanors
- Traffic offenses
Once you find the person you are looking for, just click on their name and it opens a page with all the information the website has about them.

Searching County Records Or Call The Sheriff
You can always go to the county website to search whether the county has a warrant out for your arrest. This is probably easier than searching by state because there may be hundreds of people who have a name similar to yours on the state’s database. Another option is to just call the Sheriff and ask if you have a warrant.
You are likely to be arrested if you stop by the Sheriff’s office if you have a warrant. If they set a court date, you need to attend that hearing or there will be another warrant out for your arrest.
What You Need To Know About Texas Arrest Warrants
A judge issues an arrest warrant to allow law enforcement to arrest you. Judges only do this if there is probable cause. But they are more likely to issue a summons to appear in court before issuing a warrant.
You need to contact an experienced Texas criminal defense attorney if you have a warrant.
