How do I find out, if there is a warrant for my arrest?

If you are concerned about a Harris County criminal charge, you can call a professional bondsman and ask him to find out about a possible warrant. Most reputable bondsmen are connected to the Justice Information Management computer at Harris County and will provide this service for free. If you are worried about a warrant outside of Harris County, you must call the Sheriff's Department in that county.

If it is a federal warrant you are monitoring, you would be better off meeting with a good criminal defense lawyer and discussing it with him. For various important reasons, that lawyer will be much more capable than you in finding out that information.

Contact a Houston Criminal Defense Attorney from our firm as soon as possible if you have been arrested or are under investigation.
