Q: Has a warrant been issued for my arrest?

To determine if you have an active warrant in Travis County, you can check the warrant databases maintained by the following agencies:

• Austin Police Department (APD)
• Travis County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO)

A warrant for failure to appear on a traffic ticket or other class C offense would probably be in the APD database. If it’s related to a bond forfeiture or a jailable offense (class A or B misdemeanor or any level of felony), then it would be more likely to appear in the TCSO database.

What should I do if a warrant is issued for my arrest?
