Benavides Warrant Checks
A Benavides city ticket belongs to Benavides Municipal Court, and a phone call is the fastest route to an answer. The court's public page gives contact information only. It offers no online warrant search and no payment form. So call the clerk, ask for citation status, and ask whether the file shows a failure to appear or a capias pro fine. Give the notice number if you have it.
- Read the paper to see whether it names Benavides Municipal Court or JP3.
- Call the city court and confirm which current number reaches its clerk.
- Ask if the citation led to a warrant or capias entry.
- For a JP3 ticket, call the separate precinct court.
- Request written closure after any approved payment, appearance, or recall.
Benavides Police and Municipal Court
Benavides runs a municipal-court page and a city departments page, nothing more. No police warrant portal appears on either, and no dedicated warrant line exists. City Hall and the municipal court share one public contact block at 213 N. Clark Street. The city lists (361) 256-3283 there. Verify the current clerk number before you rely on it.

Warrants in Benavides: The Main Types
Benavides Municipal Court works city ordinance and traffic Class C cases under Texas law, along with the missed-date and fine-collection steps that follow. A capias pro fine comes only after a judgment and court procedure. A JP3 citation sits with the justice court instead. A probable-cause arrest warrant starts somewhere else entirely. Confirm that one with its issuing magistrate or court.
| Benavides matter | Possible court entry | First contact |
|---|---|---|
| City ordinance citation | City case or appearance entry | Benavides Municipal Court |
| City traffic ticket | FTA or capias pro fine process | Benavides Municipal Court |
| Precinct citation | JP case or warrant notation | JP3 clerk |
| Criminal complaint | Arrest warrant process | Issuing magistrate or court |
Benavides Warrant Records: What They Show
Benavides publishes no public warrant roster. A clerk reading the file can still tell you plenty: the citation or cause number, the city court, the ordinance or traffic offense, any missed setting, and any warrant notation. No Benavides warrant-number format, bond amount, status code, or case roster is published anywhere. So ask the clerk to explain the actual entry.
| Citation or cause | number printed on the city notice; no separate warrant format is confirmed. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Benavides Municipal Court or JP3, depending on the paper. |
| FTA / capias | Ask whether the docket carries an appearance or fine-collection notation. |
| Amount | Confirm any fine, court costs, or bond with the issuing clerk. |
| Current status | Request active, served, recalled, or closed status in plain terms. |
Benavides Warrants and Duval County
A Benavides municipal case stays with the city court for its own process. A JP3 citation belongs at the Civic Center precinct counter. When county service enters the case, the Duval County Sheriff's Department is a separate contact. Other clerks hold the county and district files. The Duval County warrant records overview maps those routes.
Warrant flow: Benavides Municipal Court or Police › JP3 only for a precinct case › Duval County Sheriff if county service applies.
Accessing Benavides Warrant Records
The Benavides court page posts no public warrant form. You can send a written request for city or police records to the office that keeps them under Texas public-information rules, though exceptions apply. Court-held records may follow judicial access procedures instead. Juvenile papers and law-enforcement-sensitive details can be withheld.
Benavides access rules:
Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, provides a request route to existing governmental records.
Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 45A, governs municipal and justice court warrant and capias pro fine procedures.
Family Code Chapter 58, restricts juvenile warrant records.
Benavides Municipal Court at 213 N. Clark
The Benavides court page is a calendar and contact shell, with some content pulled from an embedded calendar service. It repeats the City Hall contact block. The listed location is 213 N. Clark Street. That is not the JP3 counter at 131 W. Main. The Benavides Municipal Court page shows the court heading and contact details, with no case result.
Call the Benavides clerk ahead to confirm the current route and what to file to enter an appearance.
Benavides Warrant Contact Numbers Differ by Directory
Two directories give two numbers for the same Benavides court. The city website lists (361) 256-3283 in its City Hall and Municipal Court contact block. The Texas Office of Court Administration directory lists (361) 256-3321 for Benavides Municipal Court, plus a fax and a court email. That mismatch alone is reason to confirm the live clerk number before you send a payment or a request. The OCA entry also names a case-management system, which does not mean a public online warrant search exists. Ask the court directly whether a clerk can check citation or failure-to-appear status by phone.
Benavides JP3 Uses a Different Counter
JP3 sits at 131 W. Main in the Benavides Civic Center and lists (361) 256-3982. That counter is separate from the Municipal Court and City Hall at 213 N. Clark. A precinct ticket and a city ordinance citation can carry near-identical numbers yet belong to different clerks. The official city departments page maps the city's services but posts no warrant portal.
Go by the court named on the Benavides case paper, not by where the matter happened.
No Benavides Warrant Portal Was Exposed
Benavides posts no public warrant roster, online citation search, or payment form on its Municipal Court or city departments pages. The OCA directory once reported no court website at all, while the current city site carries a municipal page, which shows how far behind an online directory can lag. For a real answer, call the court and ask whether a warrant exists, what payment or appearance options apply, and whether a sheriff or city officer has a service assignment. A missing online record is not clearance. Only the clerk's answer can tell you where a Benavides case stands.
Benavides Public Request for City Records
City records in Benavides sit with the office that keeps them. For a police or city record, send a written Texas Public Information Act request. Name the record and the date range. Benavides does not publish a dedicated warrant form, so describe the warrant records you want plainly. A PIA request only reaches papers that exist; it cannot force the city to build a new status answer or hand out legal advice. For a court file, ask the clerk which judicial-record process applies. Keep proof of delivery and any reply about redactions or an exception.
Benavides Warrant Clearance After Payment
A phone call, a payment vendor, or an old directory entry does not clear a Benavides warrant. Ask the current clerk what formal step ends it: an appearance, a payment, a hearing, or a recall order. Then request written confirmation. If the matter went through OmniBase, ask whether the court sent an FTA/FTP closure. Keep the receipt and the court response together. Texas DPS warns that updates can lag after a court reports resolution, so the Benavides city court stays the source for warrant status.
