Verify a Lubbock County Warrant Before You Act
If you are checking a warrant for yourself or someone close to you, do not rely on a random name-search site or assume the Sheriff’s Most Wanted page is a complete warrant list. Lubbock has several different warrant routes depending on whether the case is a felony, Class A/B misdemeanor, Justice of the Peace matter or City of Lubbock citation.
For a direct county-warrant check, the most useful starting point is the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Warrants Division at 806-775-1422. Then use the county court portal to identify the underlying case, court and current docket. If the person may already have been arrested, switch to the official Active Jail Search.

Lubbock County active-warrant questions answered
How do I check for an active warrant in Lubbock County Texas?
For direct county-warrant verification, contact the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division at 806-775-1422. You can also check the Sheriff’s Most Wanted page and search the underlying criminal case through Lubbock County Public Access. Do not treat the Most Wanted page as a complete list of every active warrant.
Does Lubbock County have a complete online active warrant database?
The official sources reviewed for this page do not provide one public page that should be treated as a complete database of every felony, misdemeanor, Justice of the Peace and municipal warrant. The safest method is to identify the type of case, search the appropriate court record and confirm an active county warrant with the Sheriff’s Warrants Division.
What is the phone number for the Lubbock County Warrants Division?
The Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office lists its Warrants Division at 806-775-1422. The Sheriff’s main law-enforcement number is 806-775-1400 and the non-emergency number is 806-775-1600.
Is the Lubbock County Most Wanted page the same as an active warrant search?
No. The Sheriff’s Most Wanted page highlights wanted individuals, but it should not be treated as proof that a person without a listing has no warrant. Use the court record and Sheriff’s Warrants Division when you need confirmation.
How do I check whether someone with a Lubbock County warrant has already been arrested?
Use the official Lubbock County Active Jail Search. The Sheriff’s Office states that the roster can be searched by name, booking number or Sheriff’s Office number. If the person appears, review the booking and case information and contact the Detention Center when the online status is unclear.
Where do I search a Lubbock County felony case connected to a warrant?
Use Lubbock County Public Access and select the District Clerk criminal records for felony-level cases. The District Clerk’s criminal division can be reached at 806-775-1578. Felony case numbers use a format such as DC-2026-CR-XXXX.
Where do I search a Lubbock County misdemeanor case?
Class A and B misdemeanor court cases are maintained by the Lubbock County Clerk. Search the county public-access portal first. The County Clerk Criminal Department can be contacted at 806-775-1046, but the office states that it does not perform name searches over the phone.
Can a City of Lubbock traffic ticket create an arrest warrant?
Yes. The City of Lubbock Municipal Court states that failing to appear as required on a citation can result in an arrest warrant and additional charges, fines or penalties. City citation matters are handled through Lubbock Municipal Court rather than the County Clerk or District Clerk.
What should I do if I find a Lubbock County warrant for myself?
Verify that the warrant is active and belongs to you, identify the issuing court and case number, and consider speaking with a Texas criminal-defense lawyer before deciding how to appear or surrender. Ask about bond status and any additional cases or holds. Do not assume that paying a fine or one bond automatically clears every warrant.
How can I get records connected to a Lubbock County warrant?
Search the public court case first. For Sheriff’s records, the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office accepts written open-records requests by email, fax, mail or in person. Court copies must be requested from the clerk that maintains the case: the District Clerk for district-court records and the County Clerk for county court-at-law criminal records.
