Important: A Texas warrant may remain active until it is resolved, recalled or otherwise changed by the issuing court. Because status and consequences vary by case, confirm current information directly with the responsible court or a licensed attorney.

How to Run a Free Travis County Warrant Search

No single Travis County database covers every type of warrant, and Travis County splits its records across more systems than most Texas counties. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office hosts an online warrant lookup that requires a last name and date of birth. Felony and misdemeanor case records live in the Travis County Odyssey Portal, maintained by the District Clerk and County Clerk. Class C misdemeanors and traffic citations are handled by five separate Justice of the Peace precincts. And city-level offenses inside Austin are handled entirely separately by Austin Municipal Court, which uses its own public portal.

That means a complete free search usually requires checking four to five different websites — and confirming any possible match by phone. Start with the official Travis County Sheriff’s Office warrant page. SEARCH HERE

Travis COUNTY WARRANT SEARCH FAQS

Straightforward answers about free public searches, private search options, turnaround times, and what to do when a possible warrant appears in Travis County or the City of Austin.
How can I run a free Travis County warrant search?
A free search means doing the legwork yourself across several separate systems. Start with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office online warrant lookup, which requires a last name and date of birth. Then check the Travis County Odyssey Portal for felony and misdemeanor case records, the Justice of the Peace online case search for Class C and traffic matters, and the Austin Municipal Court Public Portal for city citations. There is no single free database that covers all four at once.
No. The Sheriff’s Office database covers warrants held at the county level. It does not include City of Austin municipal warrants, which are handled by Austin Municipal Court, and it may not reflect warrants that were just issued and haven’t finished processing. For direct confirmation you can call the Sheriff’s Office warrant information line at (512) 854-9751.
Start with the Travis County Odyssey Portal, which carries District Clerk criminal case records. Felony cause numbers begin with D-1-DC and are prosecuted by the Travis County District Attorney’s Office; misdemeanor cause numbers begin with C and are handled by the County Attorney. Finding a case does not automatically confirm an active warrant — you’ll still need to verify status with the listed court or the Sheriff’s Office.
City-level offenses like traffic tickets, city ordinance violations and disabled-parking citations go through Austin Municipal Court, not the county. Use the Municipal Court Public Portal and select Public Case Search — you can search by last name and date of birth, driver’s license number, case or citation number, or license plate. The court’s phone line is (512) 974-4800.
Travis County separates records by court type and jurisdiction. The Sheriff’s Office holds county warrants. The District and County Clerks maintain felony and misdemeanor case records in the Odyssey Portal. Five Justice of the Peace precincts handle Class C and traffic cases. And beyond Austin, Travis County contains more than a dozen additional municipal courts — including Pflugerville, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Manor, Lago Vista, Jonestown, Rollingwood, Sunset Valley and Mustang Ridge — each with its own records. A warrant from any one of them may not appear in the others.
Yes. Travis County operates a Self Surrender desk that lets people arrange a voluntary surrender rather than risk an unexpected arrest, reachable at (512) 854-7860. Many people arrange this after speaking with a defense attorney or a bail bondsman so a bond is ready when they arrive. This is general information, not legal advice — talk to a licensed Texas attorney about your specific case.
Austin Municipal Court and Austin Community Court have run periodic Warrant Amnesty programs that waive warrant fees for people who come in voluntarily to resolve outstanding citations, with payment plans, community service and hardship waivers available for those who qualify. Program dates change year to year, so confirm current availability directly with Austin Municipal Court at (512) 974-4800.
No. TX Warrants is an independent public-record research service — not a court, a law-enforcement agency, or a government website. We are not affiliated with Travis County, the City of Austin, or the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
Standard $5 searches are delivered within one business day. Rush $10 searches are prioritized for delivery within 1–3 hours. Certified Texas Driver’s License Records are $50 and delivered in 1–3 business days.
No — we find the information, we don’t change court records. Only the issuing judge or the appropriate Travis County or Austin Municipal court can recall or clear an active warrant. What we do provide is the exact case information you can hand to a licensed attorney or a bail bondsman so they can help you resolve it on your terms.
