Checking for a Warrant in Jim Hogg County
Start with the court on your citation. The County and District Clerk Defendant Access Sites cover county and district case searches, while JP2 and JP3 run payment searches by citation or cause number. None is a full warrant roster. The sheriff's official page gives a phone and an email. What it lacks is a public warrant list, a dedicated warrant line, or an online warrant-status form. So use the least sensitive detail that finds your case. A case or cause number often beats a name. If the right court is unclear, ask the sheriff or the Clerk to route the question. Family members calling for someone else should ask first what an office may disclose on another person's behalf. In Jim Hogg County, these small steps save time.
- Use the County Clerk or District Clerk Defendant Access Site for a known county or district case, then confirm any warrant question with the combined Clerk.
- For a JP2 or JP3 citation, search the official nCourt page by ticket number or case/cause number. JP1 and JP4 have no dedicated lookup URL in the sources reviewed.
- Call the shared JP line for the assigned precinct, including when a citation search does not show the warrant status.
- For an unknown arrest matter, contact the sheriff. If a phone or portal does not answer, make a targeted Texas Public Information Act request to the office that holds the record.
- Use DPS or OmniBase only to ask about a reported FTA/FTP renewal hold, not to confirm an arrest warrant. Ask the court how it reports a resolution.
Jim Hogg County's Four JP Warrant Contacts
Jim Hogg County runs four Justice Court precincts, though the county publishes a single office address and one shared phone number. Know your precinct before you call about a failure to appear, a bench warrant, or a capias pro fine. The official Justice Court page names the judges, lists their contact details, and explains the fine-only and magistrate roles each court plays in the warrant process. Everything routes through 133 E. David Street in Hebbronville, and the published phone is 361-527-5830. The county posts no warrant-service chart tying each piece of process to a particular constable. For structure, the county's Justice Court contact block shows the four-precinct setup.
Call the shared line and ask for the right JP in Jim Hogg County. Then confirm which precinct holds the case and which record controls its warrant status.
Jim Hogg County Warrant Types
Court papers come with different titles, and the title on your notice matters. Some authorize custody, some call you to court, and some permit a search. An unpaid fine can become a capias pro fine after the required court process runs its course. A probable-cause arrest warrant, by contrast, targets an alleged offense. Jim Hogg County's court lineup is the 229th Judicial District Court, the County Constitutional Court, and the four JPs. No incorporated municipality or municipal court exists here. So do not assume a Hebbronville citation carries a city-court label.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest warrant | Sworn complaint and probable-cause finding | Magistrate with authority for the case |
| Bench or FTA process | Missed court date or another court obligation | The court handling the underlying matter |
| Search warrant | Probable cause to search a named place or item | Authorized magistrate |
| Capias pro fine | Unresolved fine or contempt after judgment | The court that entered the judgment |
No Jim Hogg County Public Warrant Roster
The sheriff, the county, the Clerk pages, the Justice Court page, and the linked court portals post no public active-warrant list or most-wanted roster for Jim Hogg County. That is a real limit on what you can check online. It does not tell you a court has no open process. A JP citation may sit in the issuing court's own case system. A recent, sealed, juvenile, or investigation-linked record may stay closed to the public entirely. So ask the office that controls the matter. A blank search page is not a clearance.
Key point: Jim Hogg County posts no public warrant list. Confirm any personal question with the issuing court or the sheriff.
Inside a Jim Hogg County Warrant Record
The official portals show no local sample warrant entry or warrant-number format. The field names here describe the kinds of details worth asking about, not a live Jim Hogg County record. A clerk or the issuing JP can tell you which document belongs to your case. One caution matters. Do not read bond, service, or recall into a search result that shows only a cause number. The court's record and law enforcement's record can update at different times. The county publishes no status-code glossary.
| Warrant number | Local format not published |
|---|---|
| Case or cause number | The JP2 and JP3 searches accept a citation/ticket or case/cause number. |
| Issuing court | 229th District Court, County Constitutional Court, or assigned JP, depending on the case. |
| Offense or judgment | Ask the issuing office for the charge, citation, or fine basis. |
| Bond or security | No local schedule or public field layout was found. |
| Status | Ask whether it is active, executed, returned, recalled, or quashed; local codes are not published. |
Jim Hogg County Warrant Clerk Assignments
Jim Hogg County folds County Clerk and District Clerk duties into one elected office. Staff assignments still divide the work. Rae Gutierrez takes district criminal and civil cases, while Kathy Morales handles County Court matters and Monica Guerrero covers child support and CPS files. This is why calling the clerk should include the court level or case number whenever you can. The County Clerk page posts the combined office contact along with its case-search links, and that is where a Jim Hogg County warrant-record question enters the clerk's office.
The District Clerk contact page shows the district-side route.
Three names cover the Jim Hogg County clerk desk. Rae Gutierrez handles District Criminal and Civil Cases, Kathy Morales takes County Cases, and Monica Guerrero covers Child Support and CPS.
Issuing and Serving Warrants in Jim Hogg County
Warrants in Jim Hogg County come from the courts, not the sheriff. The 229th District Court issues process in felony cases. Class A and B misdemeanors, along with JP appeals, belong to the County Constitutional Court. Fine-only and citation cases go through the Justice Court. Whoever issues a warrant keeps the power to recall it or set a new court date. Once issued, service usually falls to the Sheriff Department, which runs the jail, helps serve process, and takes bail from people in custody. Jim Hogg County also lists four constables, though their public pages do not break down assignments by warrant type. Ask the court or the sheriff which agency is serving a warrant.
Jim Hogg County Sheriff Department

Hebbronville, TX 78361

The Sheriff's Department page lists the county's public contact information and agency duties.
The page does not provide a warrant roster or a separate warrant-status line.
JP Warrant Portals in Jim Hogg County
Jim Hogg County's homepage links to a “Pay Citations” page, though that link has led to a transaction error for some users. Justice Court 2 and Justice Court 3 each run their own nCourt page, which takes a citation or case/cause number. Neither page offers a warrant-status filter. Justice Court 1 and Justice Court 4 list no dedicated payment URL.
JP2 asks that you allow five days from the citation date before trying to pay online. If your ticket does not come up, or you do not know which precinct holds it, call the shared JP line. The clerk there can also say whether payment would recall any court process. The county homepage still shows the citation link, but the destination itself errors out.
Use the direct JP2 or JP3 page only when the citation came from that Jim Hogg County precinct.
If You Have a Warrant in Jim Hogg County
Start by asking which Jim Hogg County court issued the warrant and what remedy it allows. A JP fine case, a County Court misdemeanor, and a District Court felony each follow different routes. The county publishes no surrender sheet, recall-motion form, bond schedule, or walk-in hours. So do not assume that paying a balance or visiting the jail clears the case. The issuing court alone controls that record. For a possible arrest warrant, talk with a Texas criminal-defense attorney before you pick a surrender route. The sheriff accepts bail for people in custody. Local bond amounts, payment methods, and intake steps are not published.
Important: A lawyer can contact the issuing court, ask about voluntary appearance, and confirm where bail is handled before you act.
Confirm Jim Hogg County Warrant Status
A payment, a new setting, or a recall order can touch more than one record. The issuing court controls its case. The sheriff may hold a separate law-enforcement status. DPS may carry an FTA or FTP renewal restriction if a court reported the citation. No local transmission schedule is published, so after a court-approved fix, ask who sends the update and when to check again. Jim Hogg County courts set no timeline. DPS says citation updates can take up to seven business days, a state FAQ estimate rather than a promise from a Jim Hogg court.
- Keep the court receipt or order and ask whether it recalls the warrant itself.
- Confirm the sheriff's record if law enforcement held the warrant.
- Contact each reporting court about an FTA/FTP renewal hold, then recheck the relevant status.
Jim Hogg County Warrant Records and Public Access
The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, covers most information held by governmental bodies, with exceptions. It does not create an online warrant portal. A request to the Jim Hogg County sheriff or Clerk should describe a specific personal case or ask for the agency's written procedure. Bulk-roster requests go beyond what the law compels. Adult arrest-warrant materials become public under Article 15.26 once the warrant is executed. Search-warrant affidavits follow a separate execution and sealing rule. Juvenile arrest warrants stay confidential. Law-enforcement information may also be withheld when release would interfere with an investigation or prosecution.
Key Rules:
Texas Government Code §552.021 makes public information available for inspection or copying, subject to exceptions.
Texas Government Code §552.108 allows an exception for some law-enforcement and prosecutorial information.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 15.26 addresses public access to an executed adult arrest warrant and affidavit.
Texas Family Code §58.010 makes juvenile arrest-warrant materials confidential.
Chapter 45A sets lower-court warrant and FTA-notice procedures.
Jim Hogg County's Warrant Roundup Calendar
Jim Hogg County does not announce a warrant amnesty, safe-surrender event, or roundup. General docket postings and budget records are not evidence of any warrant-clearing program. Check current county and court notices before relying on a date or a payment offer. The county also posts no official count of outstanding criminal warrants, capiases, or clearances. Its financial statements use “bond and time warrant debt” as public-finance language, not as a criminal-warrant total.
