How to Check for a Warrant in Sudan
Match the court to the paperwork before you dial. Sudan Municipal Court takes city citations; JP4 takes justice-court cases. The OCA directory lists Sudan Municipal Court at P.O. Box 59, phone (806) 227-2115, email sudanjudge@yahoo.com, with Judge Martin L. Davison presiding. JP4 lists Judge Melton Hanna at P.O. Box 300, phone (806) 227-2048, fax (806) 227-2044. A city name alone will not pick the right docket. Give the clerk the caption and citation number instead. Sudan publishes no online roster, bond window, or recall form, so the warrant question goes straight to the court that holds the record.
Sudan Municipal Court and JP4 Are Separate Court Contacts
Sudan gives residents two separate court contacts, and mixing them up wastes a call. Municipal Court appears in the Texas Office of Court Administration directory at P.O. Box 59, reachable at (806) 227-2115 or sudanjudge@yahoo.com. JP4 is a Lamb County justice court with Judge Melton Hanna at P.O. Box 300, phone (806) 227-2048, fax (806) 227-2044. Whether a traffic matter lands in the city court or JP4 depends entirely on the citation itself. The dockets stay separate, so figure out which Sudan court holds your file before raising an FTA, a capias, a payment, or a reset. JP3 forms and codes do not apply here unless the clerk confirms it. The official court directory carries Sudan Municipal Court as its own entry, which is the quickest way to verify you have the right office and judge before you call about a warrant.
Use the contact shown for the court printed on the citation.
The Sudan Police Department and Municipal Court
Sudan Police sits at 115 E First Avenue with mail at P.O. Box 59. Its email form accepts compliments or complaints only. It offers no case search or status check, and OCA lists Municipal Court separately for city citations.
Use the police form for its stated purpose, not to request a court recall.
Sudan’s Police Complaint Form Is Not a Warrant Search
Sudan's police form asks for contact details, incident location, and a description, with mail or email instructions. Those are complaint fields, not lookup controls, and a police reply does not confirm court process. Call Municipal Court for city citations and JP4 for precinct cases. Use 911 for emergencies. Police publish no warrant phone or roster.
Types of Sudan Warrants
Sudan Municipal Court handles city traffic and ordinance matters inside its jurisdiction. JP4 is a separate lower court for justice-precinct cases. Miss a setting and failure-to-appear process may follow. Leave a fine-and-cost judgment unpaid and Texas law allows a capias pro fine. The court's own file sets the label and the local next step.
| Record clue | Sudan route | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| City citation | Sudan Municipal Court | (806) 227-2115 |
| JP4 caption | Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 | (806) 227-2048 |
| Police matter | Sudan Police Department | Use official complaint/contact form |
| Countywide routing | Sheriff’s Office | General law-enforcement channel only |
Do not assume that municipal and JP4 payment rules or case records are interchangeable.
Sudan’s Two P.O. Boxes Help Separate Court Routes
The two P.O. boxes sort the mail in Sudan. Municipal Court and the police share P.O. Box 59, while JP4 uses P.O. Box 300, and the police station itself sits at 115 E First Avenue. Confirm the recipient before anything goes in the mail. A shared city box does not mean a police form reaches the court clerk. Sudan publishes no municipal payment method, warrant fee, bond window, or clearance timeline, so ask the court which office accepts the document and how receipt is confirmed. JP4's official page shows its own separate Sudan contact block.
Keep the court caption and phone number together with your case papers.
What a Sudan Warrant Record Shows
Sudan publishes no public warrant sample or status glossary. Ask the clerk what the court can disclose about the case number, the offense, the process, and any later payment or setting. OCA offers no search controls.
| Municipal court | Sudan Municipal Court, separately listed by the state OCA directory. |
|---|---|
| JP court | JP4, with its own phone and mailing address. |
| Case identifier | Citation or cause number from the paperwork. |
| Process | Ask whether the case involves an FTA, warrant, capias, or judgment balance. |
| Update | Ask the issuing court when it records an appearance or payment. |
This describes the kinds of case fields to discuss, not an actual person’s record.
Sudan’s 940 Residents Have Two Court Lanes
The 2020 Census counted 940 Sudan residents, all routed through two court lanes. The city site posts notices and budget material, and police offer a contact form, but neither gives case status or amnesty news. Route a citation by court name and number, not residence. OCA lists Municipal Court; the county page lists JP4.
Sudan’s Official Website Has Notices, Not a Warrant Database
The City of Sudan website carries municipal notices and budgets, nothing more. It links no warrant roster, ticket lookup, public safety list, or warrant-roundup announcement. The police contact form sits apart from those city notices and still cannot search a court docket. A missing website result does not answer a case question. Verify the directory listing, then ask the court directly. The city website remains an official municipal information route, just not a warrant database.
Use the municipal court directory for court-specific contact details.
Where Sudan Warrants Fit With Lamb County
Sudan's city court and JP4 keep their own local records. Outside Littlefield, the Lamb County Sheriff's Office is the general route for non-emergency law-enforcement reporting, while Texas DPS covers selected reported FTA/FTP matters. Neither certifies a Sudan municipal docket. The citation's court controls its record and any clearance entry. For the full county court map and state-access limits, see the Lamb County warrant records overview.
Public Access to Sudan Warrant Records
The directory does not make every Sudan warrant document public. Juvenile, sealed, and protected material may be withheld. Request an existing record from the office that holds it. A police complaint form cannot certify status, and a missing website result or police response does not establish the court record. Ask the issuing Sudan court what it can release.
Before Mailing a Sudan Payment or Request
Identify Sudan Municipal Court or JP4 before mailing anything. Confirm the address, accepted payment, case identifier, and whether an original is required. No payoff, recall, same-day clearance, or surrender process is published.
Confirm the recipient: Call the named court before sending money, a plea, or personal information by mail or email.
Keep proof of delivery and ask how Sudan records the resolution.
Resolving a Sudan Municipal or JP4 Warrant
Call the court named on the notice. Ask what FTA, warrant, capias, or balance it records and which appearance or payment options apply. One court cannot clear the other's docket. A state FTA/FTP result belongs to the reporting court. Use Sudan police or county contacts for law-enforcement routing, and the court for status. Keep every receipt and written answer, and if process survives payment, bring in counsel.
