Before starting your quest to locate arrest warrants and even arrest records for Montague County, TX, we recommend spending the time necessary to understand exactly what an arrest warrant is. Issued by Texas’s state, an arrest warrant basically authorizes officers of the peace to apprehend the individual noted on the warrant. Before an active warrant can be created, police forces must explain to a judge or magistrate what crime was committed and provide a certain amount of evidence that shows that they know which person committed that crime. Once approved by a judge or a magistrate, an arrest warrant is signed, and then police forces have forty-eight hours in which they can apprehend the suspect. All arrest warrants must also include the perpetrator’s name and the crime it is believed that they have committed.

An optimal place to initiate a search for arrest warrants is right through the Montague County Sheriffs Office. You can locate this office at PO Box 127, in Montague, TX 76251. If you’re looking for active arrest records, then there are two separate online resources available to you. The first, provided by the TDCJ, allows you to search the records of those currently in jail. You can find this at https://offender.tdcj.texas.gov/OffenderSearch/index.jsp. Alternatively, you can use the above search form to search through an online criminal records database instantly.
