Texas Outstanding Warrant Records

An arrest warrant that is yet to be served is termed as an outstanding arrest warrant. There may be a number of reasons for the warrant to attain the status of an outstanding warrant. It can be due to negligence on the part of the individual against whom the warrant has been issued; maybe he or she is not even aware of the existence of the warrant. Sometimes the individual is purportedly avoiding an arrest. Sometimes, due to heavy workloads, there can be a backlog in the execution of the warrant and it can become outstanding. Texas outstanding warrant is issued according to these rules.

A Texas outstanding warrant is issued by a judge at a court of law. The issuance of an outstanding warrant means that you can be arrested as soon as a law enforcement agency locates you. It is the responsibility of the local and state police departments to execute an outstanding warrant. It is the responsibility of the local, i.e. city and county law enforcement agencies to keep records of all the outstanding arrest warrants issued within their jurisdiction. There is no state based database of outstanding warrants maintained by the state of Texas.
