Check Simpson County Warrant Records

Checking for a Warrant in Simpson County

Identify the court first. In Simpson County, Circuit Court takes felonies and general criminal cases, Justice Court takes county misdemeanors and traffic, and each municipal court handles its own city matters. The sheriff serves process. He cannot change a judge's order.

1. Read the paperwork for a court and cause number.
2. Call the matching clerk about an own-matter status.
3. Use Sheriff administration at 601-847-2155 or dispatch at 601-847-2921 if the agency is unclear.
4. Ask what the court requires before paying or appearing.
5. Confirm that a recall was entered by the issuing court.

Simpson County Has No Public Warrant List

Simpson County publishes no online warrant list. The sheriff's official pages offer no warrant-search form either, so no web result can prove a clean record. Call the clerk and sheriff directly instead.

Simpson County Warrant Types

Why a Simpson County warrant was issued decides which office can answer questions and which judge can act.

Which Simpson County Clerk Holds the Warrant File

Simpson County has no County Court. Circuit Clerk Witt Fortenberry holds Circuit Court felony and general criminal records at 100 Court Street in Mendenhall, reachable at 601-847-2474. For misdemeanors and county traffic filings, call the Justice Court Clerk at 601-847-5848; that office sits at 1498 Simpson Highway 149. Chancery Clerk Tim Gray keeps chancery, probate, commitment, and Youth Court material at 111 West Pine Avenue, Suite A, phone 601-847-2626. Chancery is not the felony criminal clerk.

Inside a Simpson County Warrant Record

What you find may describe a court event rather than a stand-alone warrant certificate. Read each field in context and ask whether the Simpson County entry is current.

Simpson County MEC Warrant Search Limits

The Thirteenth Circuit Mississippi Electronic Courts site offers court information and case access, not a public warrant database. Public Access to Mississippi Electronic Courts requires registration. Posted terms list a $10 annual fee plus $0.20 per search-result page, even a no-match page. Check current terms first. The official Circuit MEC page shows court context and access flags for Simpson County.

This view aids routing. It does not establish an active warrant or clearance.

Issuing and Serving Simpson County Warrants

A judge issues each warrant or capias in Simpson County. The clerk keeps the case entry. Sheriff Paul Mullins's office serves process and runs county law enforcement, but only the issuing judge can recall or change the order.

Simpson County Justice Court Warrant Timing

County information puts Justice Court criminal and traffic matters on the first and second Tuesdays and Thursdays, with civil matters on the third and fourth Tuesdays. A calendar pattern never guarantees a case is set. Call 601-847-5848 before you travel to Simpson County, and bring the citation or case number if you have one.

If You Have a Warrant in Simpson County

Never treat a payment screen or case flag as proof a matter has ended. Ask the Simpson County issuing clerk what filing, appearance, bond, or judge's order the case needs. A lawyer can explain a scheduled appearance, voluntary surrender, or a motion to recall a warrant. The right path depends on the court and the order.

Simpson County Warrant Records and Public Access

The Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983 lets you request existing, nonexempt records. It does not force an office to build a warrant list. Sealed, juvenile, and investigative material stays restricted, and court records can follow separate access rules. A narrow request works best: name the Simpson County office, the record, and the date range.
