How to Check for a Warrant in Bovina
Bovina Municipal Court links an outstanding-warrant list and directs readers to its Traffic Payment page to verify active status. The online portal offers several citation search routes. Use the citation and date of birth if available, then call the clerk at 806-251-1116 to confirm the current record. The office is at 205 North Street, Bovina, TX 79009.
- Open Bovina Municipal Court’s page and choose the outstanding-warrant PDF or Traffic Payment search.
- Search by citation and DOB, name and DOB, license or ID, SSN, vehicle, or business name.
- Call 806-251-1116 to ask if the warrant is active and what the listed amount includes.
- Ask whether the court needs payment, a written plea, a reset, bond, or an in-person appearance.
- Keep the receipt and ask when the clerk will record a recall or update the list.
Bovina’s Monthly Outstanding-Warrant Notice
Bovina’s court page says the full outstanding-warrant list is updated monthly. It also directs a person to the Traffic Payment page to verify whether a warrant is active. The PDF inspected during research carried an older update date, so the monthly statement should not be treated as proof that a particular copy is current.
Use the list as a route to the court, then call the clerk about any match or recent payment. No person names or counts are reproduced here. A city list covers Bovina municipal records, not every court matter in the area.

The Bovina Police Department and Municipal Court
Bovina Municipal Court is the published contact for city warrants. Its page gives the court clerk, judge, office hours, list link, and payment search. No separate police warrant line or service chart appeared in the official material reviewed, so a city citation question should begin with the court at 806-251-1116.
The court is at 205 North Street, Bovina, TX 79009, with fax 806-251-1805. The page names Judge Donna Mitchell and Clerk Jennifer Cordova. Court office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 5 p.m.; judge hours are Monday 9 to 5 and Tuesday 1 to 5. The court is closed on federal holidays and on the following Monday when a holiday falls Sunday.
Bovina Warrant Search by Citation and DOB
The public search page accepts a citation number paired with date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format. It also shows sign-in and registration controls, but the required status of the fields is not marked. The page does not expose a warrant-status filter, bond field, offense dropdown, export, or update cadence.
Use the search to locate a Bovina case, not to decide whether payment has recalled a warrant. The screenshot below shows the search fields only. Call the court for an official status and ask which amount is fine, cost, or total due.

The search form helps locate a citation; it does not replace the clerk’s confirmation.
Types of Bovina Warrants
Bovina’s court handles city traffic, ordinance, and fine-only criminal matters. Its page warns that a missed appearance may result in an arrest warrant. A capias pro fine is a separate process for an unpaid judgment. A person should read the court’s exact label and ask the clerk what it means before paying an amount shown on the portal or PDF.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | Missed appearance or unresolved city traffic citation | Bovina Municipal Court |
| Ordinance matter | Unresolved city ordinance citation | Bovina Municipal Court |
| FTA arrest warrant | Failure to appear by citation date | Bovina municipal judge |
| Capias pro fine | Unpaid fine and costs after judgment | Issuing municipal court |
Bovina Warrant Portal’s Six Search Methods
The Bovina form also accepts a driver license or ID with issuing state and DOB; Social Security number with DOB; vehicle plate, state, and an extra vehicle field; first and last name as shown on ID with DOB; or business name. The page does not say which fields are mandatory. No public update time or warrant-only result filter was visible during inspection.
Choose a route you can verify and provide only the information needed to find your own case. If no match appears, call the court rather than assuming there is no Bovina warrant. A list and a citation lookup are separate public channels.
What a Bovina Warrant Record Shows
Bovina’s public PDF has four visible columns. It does not show a separate bond type, judge, DOB, address, case number, issue date, or status-change date. The PDF inspected during research carried an older date even though the court page promises a monthly update. Read the field labels carefully and confirm the current details with the clerk.
| Full name | Name field on the city list; no names are copied here. |
|---|---|
| Violation | Description of the ticket or ordinance matter. |
| Total due | Displayed balance, not automatically a bond. |
| Warrant # | Warrant # is the PDF label; number format is not documented. |
| Active status | Verify directly with the Bovina clerk; the PDF has no status-change date. |
Why a Bovina Warrant Total Due Is Not Bond
The Bovina PDF calls one column “Total Due.” The visible list does not label it as bond or show a bond type. It may represent a case balance, and the court must explain what it includes. Ask whether payment resolves the citation, an FTA, a capias pro fine, or only a fine and costs.
The city links a plea and fine PDF, but the form text was not machine-readable during research. Confirm the current payment, plea, and recall terms with the clerk before submitting money online.
Where Bovina Warrants Fit With Parmer County
The 2020 Census counted 1,699 Bovina residents, the second-largest incorporated city in the county. Population does not combine its municipal records with Parmer County JP or Sheriff files. See the Census profile for Bovina.
Bovina Municipal Court controls city citation records; local officers may execute its process, but a city warrant is not automatically on the Sheriff’s page. Parmer County has no public countywide warrant search, and Texas has no public statewide warrant database. For a separate JP or county matter, use the Parmer County warrant overview and its court-by-court search steps.

Bovina Warrant Court Hours and Appearance Windows
The clerk’s office window is listed Monday through Thursday, 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 5 p.m. Judge hours are Monday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday, 1 to 5 p.m. The city says it is closed on federal holidays and the next Monday when a holiday falls on Sunday. These are different windows; ask the clerk which one applies to a required appearance.
The court page says a phone call does not count as appearing. Before traveling, ask whether the case can be addressed by written plea or whether the judge expects an in-person appearance. Keep any reset confirmation.
Public Access to Bovina Warrant Records
Bovina’s municipal list is a public city-court channel, but it is not the full case file. A written request should identify an existing record and go to the office that holds it. Texas law allows exceptions for protected, investigative, or juvenile material. The city page does not provide a separate open-records procedure, so ask the City how to submit a written request.
Key Rules:
Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, covers public records held by government bodies, subject to exceptions.
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.26, addresses public copies of executed arrest warrants.
Family Code Chapter 58, restricts juvenile warrant and law-enforcement records.
Bovina Warrant Court and JP2 Are Separate Checks
Bovina Municipal Court handles city ordinance and traffic matters. Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 handles a separate precinct docket, even though both serve Bovina residents. The city payment portal is not an open-records request and does not search every court file. Use the court printed on the ticket, then ask that clerk for the active status and payment or appearance instructions.
If a city PDF is silent, the JP or another court may still hold a different case. Confirm the issuing venue rather than relying on one list.
