Once signed, a warrant is entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN), a database accessible to all law enforcement officers. An open warrant allows a police officer to arrest a person without notice. In some cases, a court might send notice to someone subject to a warrant.

For More Information If you have any questions or need to take care of a warrant, please contact the Sheriff's Office at 937-521-2055 or 937-328-2560.

Texas Arrest Warrants An arrest warrant is issued by a judge and gives law enforcement the legal right to arrest you. These warrants are generally only granted if there is probable cause that you committed the offense in question. In many cases, however, the judge may first issue a summons to appear in court.

A bench warrant is issued when you have failed to appear at a court hearing and requires immediate action. In many cases, the situation can be resolved without you being arrested and placed in jail.

Here is how you check: outstanding warrants are public records which can be found using Franklin County Municipal Clerk Lori Tyack's Court Access and Search Engine (CASE). Follow the instructions and fill out the search form with First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, and any other applicable information.

To secure warrants in the state, law enforcement officers must apply in writing to a magistrate or judge. This application (or affidavit) must always establish probable cause because, without these grounds, no judicial officer can release the warrant.
