- 1). Contact your lawyer if you have one, and have her make calls to get information about any warrants that are out for you. Consulting with a lawyer in your jurisdiction to discuss the specifics of an open warrant, especially in criminal matters is a good idea. However, if you do not wish to involve an attorney, you are entitled to information regarding a warrrant.
- 2). Call the police or the sheriff's department and ask if they have an open warrant on file for you. Many local police agencies have a warrant department or a warrant hotline number you can call for information about open warrants. They should also be able to tell you which court filed the warrant.
- 3). Check with the court in which your case is pending and ask the court clerks if the judge has issued a warrant for you. They will ask for your name and case number. If you do not know your case number, they should be able to search for your file by your name and date of birth. If a warrant has been issued, ask the clerk about the next step to take in order to handle the warrant.
- 4). Ask the court clerks if a bond has been set with the issuance of the warrant. If no bond has been set, ask the clerk how you may request one to be set. Whether or not a party or defendant is entitled to have a bond set depends on the type of case and the situation.
