Finding information about arrest warrants in Texas relies on several different variables, such as knowing where to look and understanding what an arrest warrant actually is. An arrest warrant grants permission to officers of the peace to arrest a specific individual for a crime, and a judge or a magistrate can only authorize an arrest warrant. It is important to note that warrants can only be authorized by the court in the same county where the crime was committed. Texas warrants must include the suspect’s name, the crime that they committed, and the authorizing signature of the judge.

The best place to start a search for Nueces County arrest warrants is through that county’s sheriff’s office.
