How to Check for a Warrant in Tallahatchie County

Court business in Tallahatchie County runs through two courthouses, one in Charleston and one in Sumner, and the case type plus the judicial district decide which one holds your file. felony matters, civil suits, and grand jury work sit with the Circuit Clerk, while the district Justice Court and the municipal courts keep their own dockets for misdemeanors and traffic cases. There is no official countywide warrant database open to the public. A warrant search here works office by office.

Start by naming the court most likely to have issued the warrant. Call that clerk and ask for the current docket status, then confirm any required appearance or filing before you act on anything. The Sheriff's Office answers questions about service and custody, but the underlying case record stays with the court clerks, and only the issuing court can recall or quash a warrant once it exists. Municipal warrants from a city court are best checked with that city's clerk directly, since the county offices will not have that docket.
