Before starting a search for arrest warrants in Zapata County, TX, it is an excellent idea to understand what an arrest warrant is and how they function in Texas.

A warrant of arrest serves as an extension of Texas authority to an individual county and permits that county to use its law enforcement personnel to apprehend and place under arrest the person named by the warrant.
