Morehouse Parish Warrant Records Morehouse Parish Warrant Records

Questions about an actual warrant belong with the office that holds the file, not with this site. Below is where to route the requests that come up most often in Morehouse Parish, along with current addresses, phone numbers, and hours for the clerk, the city court, and the sheriff's office. Call before making a trip. Court schedules move, and one office can send a person to another counter. Have the case or citation number ready. Ask which office keeps the minutes for the case before requesting anything.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This is a private reference site. No one here can confirm that a warrant exists, recall or clear one, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice. For any of those steps, contact the issuing court, the clerk who keeps its docket, or the sheriff's office directly.

The office to call depends on who issued the warrant. District court matters, city court matters, and ward court matters each stay with their own clerk, and the parish sheriff does not publish a public warrant list that covers all of them. Start with these routes.

  • District court records and warrant status: the Morehouse Parish Clerk of Court at 100 East Madison Avenue in Bastrop, 318-281-3343, open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The clerk keeps the criminal docket and minute entries for the Fourth Judicial District Court.
  • City of Bastrop tickets and city charges: Bastrop City Court at 202 East Jefferson, 318-283-0257. Criminal court meets on Tuesday, with arraignment at 8:30 a.m. and trials at 10:30 a.m., and the court shares its warrant file with the Bastrop police.
  • Law enforcement and custody questions: the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office at 351 South Franklin Street in Bastrop, 318-281-4141. Jail and detention questions route separately, and a custody listing does not establish that a warrant exists.
  • Village and ward matters: a citation or notice from Bonita, Collinston, Mer Rouge, or Oak Ridge belongs with the court named on the paper, which may be a mayor's court or a justice of the peace office for that ward.
  • A warrant in your name or a relative's name: speak with a licensed Louisiana attorney and the issuing court about a recall, a voluntary surrender, or posting bond.

The courthouse handles several dockets in one building, so the fastest path is a case number or citation number. Ask which office keeps the minutes for the case, then ask that office what the record shows and what step comes next. A records request under the Louisiana Public Records Law should describe the record rather than ask for a conclusion about a person.

Juvenile court records, sealed and expunged matters, and law-enforcement investigative files sit outside the ordinary public right of access, and a request can be redacted. Confirm the current status with the clerk before acting on anything found elsewhere.
