Checking for a Warrant in Tylertown
Figure out the venue first. That single step makes a Walthall County warrant check manageable, because Tylertown splits its dockets three ways. City traffic, ordinance, and municipal misdemeanor cases belong to Tylertown Municipal Court, while county traffic, DUI, misdemeanor, and preliminary matters go to Justice Court. Felony cases and circuit failure-to-appear records sit with the Circuit Clerk.
- Gather the full name, case or citation number, and court named on any paper.
- Call the likely clerk and ask what information is needed to locate the case.
- Use the sheriff roster only to check current or recent booking information.
- Ask the Sheriff’s Office about custody or service, not recalling a court order.
- Discuss surrender, bond, or a court filing with a lawyer before acting.
Three Tylertown Record Doors
Addresses sort out the custodians. The Circuit Clerk works from 200 Ball Avenue at 601-876-5677. Justice Court and the Sheriff's Office share 807 Magnolia Avenue, yet each keeps its own records. Justice Court answers at 601-876-2311. The sheriff's published number is 601-876-3481. The county's official roster page shows current inmates and recent releases, so it can tell you who is in custody in Tylertown today.

Tylertown Warrant Types
The reason for the process matters more than the label. Mississippi records may say bench warrant or capias, and the Fourteenth Circuit MEC page shows distinct flags for Tylertown cases.
| Type | Typical setting | Likely issuer |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest warrant | Probable-cause process tied to a charge | Circuit or lower court judge |
| Bench warrant | Missed appearance or court-order issue | Circuit, Justice, Municipal, or support court |
| Search warrant | Authority to search for evidence | Authorized judge |
| Capias | Court-specific compelled appearance process | Issuing court |
The Walthall Sheriff Roster Has Limits
The sheriff's official inmate-roster landing page lists current inmates and 48-hour releases. Its search takes a first or last name. Results may show booking, charge, and bond information. Remember, the sheriff says the roster is for convenience only and is not certified or authenticated. It is not a warrant list for Tylertown.
Important: An empty roster result does not establish that no Walthall County warrant exists; confirm current status with the issuing court.
Inside a Tylertown Warrant Record
What a record shows depends on the court and its access limits. A docket entry can name the case and the event without revealing the warrant document itself. Read the court's exact status term in Tylertown rather than assuming every listed event is still enforceable.
| Case or warrant number | Identifier assigned by the issuing court |
|---|---|
| Subject name | Name used in the court or booking record |
| Charge or event | Underlying allegation or docket event |
| Issuing court | The office able to confirm current status |
| Bond | Amount or condition only when officially shown |
| Status | May read Capias Pending, Bench Warrant Issued, or Bench Warrant Returned |
Walthall Circuit Records Through PAMEC
The Fourteenth Circuit's court-information page names Walthall Circuit Court and explains MEC terminology. Public Access to Mississippi Electronic Court, or PAMEC, gives registered, paid users a way into available non-restricted electronic circuit records. It is not a statewide warrant index. It cannot replace confirmation from Justice Court, Municipal Court, or the sheriff in Tylertown. The circuit reports an MEC go-live date of February 8, 2021. That is why newer events appear electronically while older documents, sealed matters, and lower-court events do not. Read the PAMEC access terms before you register.
Issuing and Serving Warrants in Tylertown
Judges issue warrants and other court process. The Walthall County Sheriff's Office serves that process, runs the jail, and answers custody questions. Tylertown police handle municipal law enforcement, and the municipal court keeps its own city cases. Sharing a town does not merge those files.
- Circuit Clerk
- Keeps circuit case files and felony docket records.
- Justice Court Clerk
- Handles county misdemeanor, traffic, and preliminary matters.
- Municipal Court
- Handles Tylertown ordinance, traffic, and municipal misdemeanor cases.
- Sheriff
- Handles service, custody, jail, and related law-enforcement functions.
Historic Courthouse, Separate Modern Files
Walthall County's courthouse and jail at 200 Ball Avenue, built in 1916–1917, still has its historic jail cells. That history is worth knowing, but modern warrant information is split among custodians. A circuit record sits at Ball Avenue, a Justice Court file at Magnolia Avenue, and a city case on Beulah Avenue. None of them adds up to one public list for Tylertown. The practical move is the address test: identify which building and clerk are tied to the case. That single step cuts down misrouting and lets a caller ask for a specific docket, citation, or event instead of a vague countywide search.
If You Have a Warrant in Tylertown
Do not trust an empty search result or a payment receipt as the final word. A blank search does not prove that no warrant exists. Call the issuing court and ask what the record shows, whether you must appear in person, whether bond has been set, and how the court confirms a recall. The sheriff cannot erase a judge's order in Tylertown. A lawyer can help you plan a filing, bond, appearance, or lawful surrender.
Important: Get legal and court instructions before traveling to an office, paying money, or attempting a voluntary surrender on a warrant.
Walthall Records Use Three Timestamps
Three dates can disagree: when the court issued the warrant, when law enforcement served or booked it, and when the roster was updated. Walthall County publishes no guaranteed update schedule. So a returned-warrant flag, a fresh booking record, or an old charge label in Tylertown needs the issuing clerk's confirmation. Ask when a recent court action should appear and how the clerk provides proof. Then recheck the official record after that interval passes. This habit keeps a stale public display from being mistaken for the court's current instruction.
Tylertown Warrant Records and Public Access
The Mississippi Public Records Act opens many agency records, subject to procedures, exemptions, and redaction. Court records also answer to judicial rules and limits. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, protected, or investigative material may be withheld in Tylertown even when a related event is visible.
Key rules: Mississippi Code sections 25-61-5 and 25-61-7 cover inspection, response procedures, redaction, and reasonable actual costs. Ask for a narrow date range and record type, and request a written estimate, since Walthall County publishes no fee schedule.
One Walthall Town, Several Venues
Tylertown is Walthall County's only incorporated town, yet a resident can still run into city, county, circuit, support, or federal process. Being the only town does not fold those venues into one court. City citations stay with Municipal Court, county matters may begin in Justice Court, and felony matters move through Circuit Court. The split matters when a relative helps after a missed date. Start with the court named on the document. Share only the locating information the clerk asks for. And skip the sheriff's plain-text contact form for anything sensitive in Tylertown.
Tylertown Warrants by City
Tylertown is the one incorporated city in Walthall County, so a city-level warrant search starts and ends there. Its Municipal Court sits at 433 Beulah Avenue and takes city traffic tickets, ordinance cases, and municipal misdemeanors. Begin a Tylertown warrant question with that court, not with unincorporated communities.
