The Precinct 4 Constable’s Office handles warrants issued by the Justice of the Peace courts and other jurisdictions. The majority of these warrants involve Class C misdemeanor offenses, such as traffic violations, school attendance violations, public Intoxication, minor drug offenses, disorderly conduct, and simple assaults.

For warrants issued by the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, call (409) 766-2300.

What to Expect After a Warrant is Issued

Once a warrant is received by the Constable’s Office, it is immediately date/time stamped and assigned to a Warrant Deputy.  The assigned Deputy will attempt to contact the wanted subject, by mailing a Warrant Notice advising the violator of their potential for arrest and contacting the subject by phone at home or their place of business. The Warrant Deputy will also check the Galveston County jail system to determine if the wanted person is in custody and if so, the warrant can be served on the subject while in custody for other offenses.

How to Resolve an Outstanding Warrant

In the event you have a warrant and want to get it resolved, please contact the Justice of the Peace Court Clerk at (281) 316-8716. You will be asked to provide the Clerk with your name, date of birth, and Texas Driver’s License or Texas Identification Number. Older warrants are sometimes more difficult to resolve as your personal information may have changed. Any and all information should be provided to the Court Clerk to assist in accessing your file. Depending on the specifics of the warrant, the Court Clerk will provide you instructions on getting the matter resolved.
