Arrest warrants function identically throughout Texas. This is because all active warrants are considered to be an extension of the authority of the state of Texas, and individual counties can exercise that authority. All Medina County warrants are authorized by a judge or a county magistrate and can only be issued when a state law has been broken. Law enforcement authorities can show strong reasons to arrest a specific individual. This individual’s name must appear on the warrant, as well as the crime that was alleged to have been committed, and a judge or a magistrate must also sign warrants. Once issued, law enforcement officials must apprehend the suspect within 48 hours.
