Young County Has Three Municipal Courts
Young County has three city courts. Graham, Olney, and Newcastle each publish a municipal-court contact, and each court handles its own city matters. JP1 and JP3 are county justice courts, separate from these, even though JP3 also sits in Olney. The citation tells you which court to call first. The table lays out each published route and the records boundary, though Newcastle's city page offers no warrant portal or dedicated warrant desk.
Young County Municipal Warrant Process
Municipal courts in Young County handle city traffic, parking, Class C, and ordinance matters within their jurisdiction. Miss a setting or leave a judgment unpaid, and a city-court warrant or capias pro fine can follow under Texas law. The issuing court controls the case and the recall path. A city warrant may never show up on a sheriff page. So confirm status with the municipal clerk before using a payment link or driving to a law-enforcement facility.
Young County Graham Municipal Warrant Court
Graham Municipal Court covers a wide docket in Young County. Traffic and parking violations, Class C misdemeanors, city ordinances, code enforcement, and school-attendance matters all land here. The court sits at 456 Oak, and the phone number is 940-549-8370. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays, closing at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 12:15 p.m. Friday. Payment takes credit and debit cards only, with a 4.1% card fee, so call for the total you owe. The court's page lays out guilty, no-contest, not-guilty, defensive-driving, deferred-disposition, and extension choices. The right one depends on the case. The Graham Municipal Court page is the official word on its jurisdiction and options.
Young County Municipal Warrant Courts
Young County offers three city-court paths, one per town. A city matter stays with the municipal court, while a ticket assigned to a JP follows that JP's process. Resist blending the city and county systems just because both serve people in the same town. Start with the contact the issuing court publishes. Then ask which record and payment route apply.
| City court | Published location | Typical city matters | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graham Municipal Court | 456 Oak, Graham | Traffic, parking, Class C, ordinances, code, school attendance | 940-549-8370 |
| Olney Municipal Court | City Hall, 201 E Main | City Class C, traffic, ordinance matters | 940-276-2014 |
| Newcastle Municipal Court | Newcastle, TX 76372; city contact at 608 Broadway | City municipal matters; details not posted | 940-846-3547 |
Olney’s Young County Municipal Warrant Safe Harbor
Olney's court offers a real break for the right cases in Young County. A person with an active Class C warrant issued by that court may surrender voluntarily before any arrest or execution. Make a good-faith effort to resolve the case, and the court says it will not arrest or jail you under the policy. It will recall the warrant and set a date to speak with the judge. The policy stops at Olney's own warrants. JP3, Graham, Newcastle, district, county, sheriff-held, and federal warrants are all outside it. Call Olney Municipal Court at 940-276-2014 first. Its payment link covers Olney citations only, so a JP3 ticket must go to that court. Olney's official court page states both the safe-harbor terms and the payment limits.
Young County Municipal Warrant Checks
No Young County city police department or municipal court posts a public warrant search. So start with the municipal clerk, not a generic payment site. A citation naming JP3 means calling JP3 at 940-564-5001 instead of the Olney city court. If the clerk cannot confirm by phone, ask which city officer handles existing record requests. Also ask what information is releasable under the Texas Public Information Act.
Newcastle Young County Warrant Contact
Newcastle keeps things spare in Young County. The city site lists City Hall at 608 Broadway Avenue, weekday hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the same 940-846-3547 number shown in the Texas Judicial Branch municipal-court directory. No separate courtroom address, warrant line, or payment method appears anywhere on it. Call before touching Newcastle's generic "Click to Pay Bill" link for a citation. The city page does not call that link a court-warrant service. Ask instead about accepted payment, appearance, reset, and recall steps. The Texas Judicial Branch directory confirms the municipal-court contact.
Municipal Warrants: What They Show
No Young County city publishes a sample warrant entry or display fields. So make the clerk confirm the court, case, type, current status, and the amount or appearance needed. Treat the fields here as a request checklist, not a promise of any online result. One more caution. A payment receipt alone does not prove the court has recalled its warrant.
| Reference | Citation or case number; local format not published. |
|---|---|
| Issuing office | Graham, Olney, or Newcastle Municipal Court. |
| Reason | Traffic, ordinance, missed appearance, or judgment issue. |
| Amount | Fine, costs, bond, or reinstatement figure, if applicable. |
| Status | Ask the clerk whether it remains open or has been recalled, served, or closed. |
Why a City Warrant May Miss the Sheriff List
The municipal clerk keeps the city court record, and a city police department may serve as the law-enforcement contact. The county posts no public active-warrant roster. Nothing says every municipal warrant feeds a county list either. A sheriff inquiry never substitutes for checking the city court. Olney shows why the paths stay separate. Its municipal court and JP3 both sit in Olney, yet a citation belongs to one court or the other, never both. Use the court named on the paper.
Clearing a Municipal Court Warrant
Call the city court first in Young County. Ask whether it wants payment, a hearing, a reset, voluntary appearance, or a request to recall. Graham lists its plea and payment choices. Olney has its own safe-harbor policy. Newcastle's public pages state no warrant-clearing methods at all. Ask what identification or papers to bring, which payment types are accepted, and how the court confirms a recall.

Keep courts separate: A city payment link will not settle a ticket held by another court, and Young County offers no city-wide warrant lookup.
