Foard County Warrant Search Starts Locally
The Foard Sheriff's page gives a non-emergency number and weekday office hours, but no online warrant list, search form, warrant-unit number, or direct warrant email. Call (940) 684-1501 and ask whether the office can confirm a law-enforcement record or identify the court that issued it. The page lists a P.O. Box rather than a walk-in street address, so confirm the correct location before visiting.
The official Sheriff's Office page also has a general contact form. Its fields request a name, phone, email, reason for inquiry, and reCAPTCHA; the form is not labeled as a formal records request or a warrant-status form.
Use the phone channel first to ask where a written request should go and whether an in-person status inquiry is available.
Searching for a Warrant in Foard County
There is no single public Texas warrant search and Foard County does not publish a Sheriff search box. Use the Sheriff for law-enforcement confirmation, then contact the issuing court for its case file. Have your name, date of birth, case or citation number, and the place and approximate date of the court matter available if known. The local portals do not ask for all of those details.
A clean citation lookup, a missing web result, or a license status does not settle warrant status. If a possible arrest warrant is involved, speak with a Texas defense attorney before choosing an appearance or surrender path.
- Call the Foard Sheriff's non-emergency line, (940) 684-1501, and ask whether it can confirm an active law-enforcement warrant.
- For felony or county-court files, contact District Clerk Paula Moore at (940) 684-1365 and the court that handled the case.
- For traffic or a city citation, search the JP or Crowell nCourt portal by citation/ticket or case/cause number, then call the court.
- Send a written Texas Public Information Act request for existing non-exempt Sheriff records; ask the court or clerk separately for judicial records.
- Check OmniBase only for a possible FTA/FTP license-renewal hold. It is not a warrant system; confirm status with the issuing court.
Foard County Warrant Portals Ask for Numbers
The Foard JP and Crowell Municipal Court use separate nCourt interfaces. Each landing page begins with a record-search flow and asks for the number printed on the citation or case. Neither exposes a warrant search by a person's name or date of birth, and neither promises that a located citation record will show warrant status.
The Crowell portal is linked from the City's court information. It accepts the same two search types and displays payment steps, but its payment screen should not be treated as a warrant confirmation. The interface is a practical way to locate a city case before calling the clerk.
The portal says to allow five days after a citation before trying online payment. If a case may already be in FTA or capias status, call the Municipal Court before paying.
The Foard JP page and County and District Clerk page list separate county record routes.
What a Warrant Search Asks For
Both local citation portals expose a narrow set of controls before a record is opened. The required-field status is not specified on the public landing screen. The visible options are:
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search type | Radio/select | Not stated | Choose Citation/Ticket Number or Case/Cause Number. |
| Citation/Ticket Number | Text | Not stated | May include a letter, such as 123456A; try without a leading zero if needed. |
| Case/Cause Number | Text | Not stated | Exact number format is not published. |
Foard County Warrant Search Fields Leave Gaps
The portal screens do not show controls for last name, first name, date of birth, warrant number, court, precinct, bond, or status. That is why a citation search cannot answer every warrant question. If the citation number is unknown, call the court and ask what case detail it needs to locate the file.
The court may ask for identity information to distinguish records, but the public portal does not publish a name-search option. Do not assume the absence of a case on the vendor screen means the Sheriff or another court has no record.
Foard County Warrant Search Results
No live warrant result or local warrant-number format was published in the reviewed Foard sources. The fields below are the points to ask the court or Sheriff to confirm. The lower-court pages locate a citation or case, while Texas law sets some basic fields for an arrest warrant.
| Warrant number | Foard format not published |
|---|---|
| Cause or citation | Identifies the court case; JP and Crowell portals accept this search route. |
| Offense | Chapter 15 calls for the offense named in an arrest warrant. |
| Issuing court | Ask whether the file is district, county, JP, or Crowell municipal. |
| Bond and status | No Foard public values or status-code legend were found; confirm with the issuing court. |
Foard County Warrant Service Routes
Each office answers a different part of a status question. The Sheriff is the non-emergency law-enforcement contact. Paula Moore's combined clerk office handles district and county court files. Katy Marlow's JP keeps justice-court citations and cases, and Crowell Municipal Court holds city ordinance and traffic files. The issuing judge or magistrate controls court action such as recall, reset, or bond.
| Record path | Start here | What it can answer |
|---|---|---|
| Felony | District Clerk / 46th District Court | Case file, docket, court procedure |
| County case | County Clerk / County Court | County-court record route |
| Traffic or fine-only | JP or Crowell Municipal Court | Citation/case lookup and court status |
| Execution or booking | Foard Sheriff's Office | Law-enforcement confirmation and procedure |
Call the court that issued the process and the Sheriff if an executable warrant may be involved. No current statewide public Texas warrant database was located.
Foard County Warrants: Who Holds What
For felony matters, Paula Moore's District Clerk office is at 101 S. Main in Crowell, while the 46th District Court's listed office is in Vernon at 1700 Wilbarger Street. The court's primary location and the local clerk counter are not the same place. County-court files use the County Clerk side of the combined office.
The countywide JP is at the courthouse and Crowell Municipal Court is at 114 E. California. The portals are separate, and there is no public statewide warrant search to replace a call to the court. OmniBase handles some reported FTA/FTP license-renewal holds, not warrants.
Foard County PIA and Court Requests
A written request under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 should name existing records with enough detail for the governmental body to find them. For a Sheriff record, confirm the recipient and delivery route before sending. For a court docket, warrant, or case paper, contact the issuing court or clerk because judicial records do not fall under the ordinary PIA process.
The Texas Attorney General advises that a body expecting more than ten business days should notify the requestor when it expects to release information. The official PIA overview describes response timing and exceptions.
Ask for the record, not a legal conclusion. A records request also cannot require an office to create a new search result or tell a person what a warrant means for their case.
Which Foard County Warrant Records Stay Restricted
Some information can be withheld even when a court or government office keeps a record. A sealed warrant or indictment may be unavailable before service or unsealing. Juvenile justice information has separate confidentiality rules. A Sheriff may withhold records if release would interfere with detection, investigation, or prosecution, and personal identifiers may be redacted.
Key Rules:
Texas Government Code §552.108 allows some law-enforcement material to be withheld when release would interfere with a case.
Texas Family Code Chapter 58 limits public access to juvenile justice records.
A missing web result does not prove there is no warrant; Foard publishes no countywide warrant list.
