Franklin County Warrant RecordsFranklin County Warrant Records

Start at the record holder. Franklin County warrant questions may belong with the Sheriff/Jail, countywide Justice of the Peace, or a municipal court. The right starting point depends on the court and type of case shown on the paperwork. Use an official contact route, describe the specific record or cause, and ask the office which next step applies. If a court date or legal decision is involved, contact the issuing court directly when needed.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This site cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear one, post bond, arrange a surrender, or provide legal advice. Contact the court that issued the process for the court record and the Sheriff's Office for execution or custody questions.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Choose the office that matches the case. A general county contact may need to route a question onward, so identify the court named on a citation, notice, or docket when possible.

  • Sheriff's Office or Jail: For execution, custody, or law-enforcement questions, contact the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 208 TX Hwy 37, Mount Vernon, TX 75457, (903) 537-4539. The Sheriff does not publish a countywide public warrant-search page or separate warrant-unit contact.
  • Countywide Justice of the Peace: JP Judge Robert Zinn's office is at 200 N Kaufman, Mount Vernon, TX 75457; call (903) 537-2342, extension 1, about a JP case. Confirm the court's process and any appearance instructions with staff.
  • District Clerk: District Clerk Ellen Jaggers handles district-court files at the Annex West, 204 TX Hwy 37, Mount Vernon, TX 75457; call (903) 537-8337. The clerk's records can help identify district-court filings but do not provide a public active-warrant list.
  • County Clerk: County Court and County Clerk matters are at 200 N Kaufman, Mount Vernon, TX 75457; call (903) 537-2342, extension 6, to route a County Court records question.
  • Winnsboro Municipal Court: Call (903) 342-6033 about a Winnsboro citation or case. The court is at 501 S Main Street, Winnsboro, TX 75494, and handles court visits by appointment. Written or in-person requests are the available routes described by the city.
  • Mount Vernon Municipal Court: For a Mount Vernon city citation, contact the Municipal Court through City Hall at 109 N Kaufman Street, Mount Vernon, TX 75457, (903) 537-3582. Ask the clerk about a case or payment before sending money.

For a public-record request to a county office, describe the record you seek and use Franklin County's Public Information Act request form. The county's guidance lists $5 per name and record type, $1 per page, and $5 for certification; confirm the applicable estimate before payment. A request is generally answered within ten business days, subject to lawful exceptions. A request asks for an existing record; it does not require an office to conduct open-ended research.

Do not treat an online payment screen as a warrant index. Mount Vernon's GovPay option uses PLC 1130 for payment, and does not search cases or confirm active warrant status. A Winnsboro report link described in older city information was unavailable in the reviewed materials, so ask the court how to obtain a current record.
