Step by Step

How to Check for & Clear a Dallas County Warrant

  1. 1

    Run the official Dallas County warrant search

    Use the Dallas County Sheriff’s online “wanted” search to check for an active warrant by name. It is free and available 24/7.

  2. 2

    Confirm it is your warrant

    Match the name, date of birth, and case details. Similar names are common — verify it is actually you before acting, and call us if you are unsure how to read the result.

  3. 3

    Do not wait to be arrested

    Warrants in Texas do not expire. Ignoring one only means the arrest happens at the worst possible time — a traffic stop, your job, or in front of your family.

  4. 4

    Call Act Quick to arrange a walk-through bond

    We prepare the bond in advance so you can surrender on your own schedule and the bond is posted the moment the warrant is cleared — minimizing time in custody. Call (214) 744-1414.

Know What You’re Facing

Types of Warrants in Dallas County

Arrest Warrant

Issued when a magistrate finds probable cause to charge you with a crime. Police can arrest you anywhere — at home, at work, or during a routine traffic stop.

Bench Warrant

Issued by a judge when you miss a scheduled court date. The most common warrant we see — and the easiest to resolve quickly with a walk-through bond.

Capias / Alias Warrant

A capias orders officers to bring you to court, often over unpaid fines or a failure to appear before entering a plea. Common on older Dallas County cases.

Traffic / Class C Warrant

Issued by a municipal court over unpaid tickets or missed municipal court dates. Small on paper — but it will still get you booked into jail at a traffic stop.

The Smart Move

Surrender on Your Terms with a Walk-Through Bond

Being arrested on a warrant means handcuffs at the worst possible moment and a full trip through booking before anyone can post bond. A walk-through bond flips that. Act Quick prepares your bond in advance, coordinates your surrender, and files the bond the moment you’re booked — so you’re processed and released as fast as Lew Sterrett allows, with your job, your family, and your dignity intact.

We’ve done this for Dallas County families since 1997, and our office sits in the Lew Sterrett courthouse district. One call tells you exactly what your warrant requires and what the bond will look like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dallas County Warrant FAQs

How do I check for a warrant in Dallas County?
Use the official Dallas County Sheriff’s online warrant search to look up an active arrest, bench, or capias warrant by name. It is free and available 24 hours a day. If you find a warrant — or you are not sure how to read the result — call Act Quick at (214) 744-1414 and we can confirm it and help you arrange a bond before you turn yourself in.
What should I do if I have an active warrant in Dallas County?
Do not wait to be arrested. Texas warrants do not expire, so the only question is when and where the arrest happens. The smartest move is a walk-through bond: a licensed bondsman arranges the bond in advance, you surrender on a scheduled basis, and the bond is posted as the warrant is cleared — so you spend far less time in custody than someone arrested on the street. Call (214) 744-1414 to set it up.
What is a walk-through bond and how does it help with a warrant?
A walk-through bond (also called a walk-in or pre-arranged bond) is a bond posted before or at the moment you voluntarily surrender on a warrant. Instead of being arrested unexpectedly and waiting through full booking, the paperwork is ready in advance, so you are processed and released far more quickly. It is the most controlled, least disruptive way to clear an active Dallas County warrant.
Will turning myself in on a warrant mean I sit in jail?
Not the way a planned surrender works. When Act Quick arranges a walk-through bond ahead of time, the bond is filed as soon as you are booked on the warrant, which keeps custody time to a minimum. Exact timing depends on Lew Sterrett processing volume, but a pre-arranged surrender is dramatically faster than being arrested without a bond in place.
Do Dallas County warrants ever go away on their own?
No. A warrant stays active until it is cleared — by posting a bond, appearing in court, or resolving the underlying case. It does not expire with time, and it follows you across Texas. Checking the warrant search and arranging a bond is the only way to take control of it.
Can you handle a warrant from a Dallas County suburb or city court?
Yes. Act Quick posts bonds for warrants out of Lew Sterrett and the surrounding municipal and county courts — Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, Carrollton, DeSoto, and more. Call (214) 744-1414 with the name and, if you have it, the court or case number, and we will tell you exactly how to clear it.
