Farmerville Warrant Checks
A Farmerville warrant check begins at the town hall, not the parish courthouse. The marshal or Farmerville police wrote the citation, and the town court keeps the file.
- Call the Town of Farmerville at (318) 368-9242 and ask for the Town Clerk or the Mayor's Court.
- Have the citation number, legal name, date of birth, and missed date ready before you dial.
- Ask whether the matter is still payable, was reset, or became a failure-to-appear case.
- If the paperwork names the Third Judicial District, call the Union Parish Clerk of Court at (318) 368-3055.
- Request any sheriff-held report from UPSO Records at (318) 608-3017, and allow five business days.
Note: One office's empty answer settles nothing in Farmerville, since the town and parish files live apart.
The Farmerville Mayor's Court and Warrant Paperwork
Louisiana lets an incorporated municipality run a mayor's court for ordinance violations. Farmerville's official officials page lists the City Attorney, who doubles as Mayor's Court Magistrate. That office answers local traffic and ordinance questions.

Policing and Courts in Farmerville
Farmerville elects a mayor and five aldermen. The marshal also serves as police chief. The town's official officials page names them all: Mayor John Crow, Marshal and Police Chief Ernest "Bim" Coulberston, Town Clerk Gay Nell Pepper, and City Attorney and Mayor's Court Magistrate Joe Cusimano. Louisiana law gives a city marshal a court-process role that includes serving city court papers, so the marshal is not the parish sheriff. Ask the town who served the paper, or who would, before assuming a deputy did it. That same officials page puts the marshal, the police chief, and the Mayor's Court magistrate on one block.
Those are the roles a Farmerville citation passes through before it reaches a judge.
Farmerville Citation Warrants: Ask Before You Pay
An online payment page is not a court record. Paying a ticket does not erase a failure-to-appear entry that was logged first. Before any money moves, ask Farmerville two questions about the case status.
- Is this citation number still tied to an open town case?
- Does the court lift a warrant by payment, or does it need a judge?
- What receipt or written confirmation will show the action was recorded?
Farmerville posts no municipal warrant fee, bond amount, or online warrant search. The town itself supplies those figures.
Warrants in Farmerville: The Main Types
Most Farmerville cases open as a citation or ordinance complaint. A missed court date is what turns them into warrant trouble.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Town traffic warrant | An unpaid Farmerville citation or a missed town traffic date | Farmerville Mayor's Court |
| Ordinance violation warrant | An unresolved city code or ordinance matter | Farmerville Mayor's Court |
| Failure-to-appear warrant | A missed required appearance after notice | The court that set the case |
| Arrest warrant | A charge filed after a police investigation | A magistrate or the district court |
Farmerville Police Contact and Warrant Records
The Farmerville Police Department lists its address as 302 Martin Luther King Drive, with a public line at (318) 368-2226 and emergencies routed to 911. That listing is a law-enforcement contact. It is not a records window. No official Farmerville page offers a warrant search or status lookup. A phone call can route you to the right office, though the department does not hold the town court's file. Note: 911 is for anything in progress, and the business line is for records questions.
Farmerville Warrant Records: What They Show
A town record and a district record answer different questions. In Farmerville, read the issuing court first, then the date and the action, because a stale entry can look active.
| Case label | Town citations carry a citation number; district paperwork uses Docket No. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Farmerville Mayor's Court or the Third Judicial District Court |
| Charge or ordinance | The town ordinance or the offense named in the filing |
| Issue date and place | Required on a warrant, and tied to the town or parish of issue |
| Fine or bond | Set by the issuing court; Farmerville publishes no municipal schedule |
| Current action | Active, recalled, quashed, served, cleared, or reset to a new date |
Farmerville Court Layers and Warrant Routing
The most useful question in Farmerville is which court wrote the paper. A nearby office does not turn a town citation into a parish record.
| Question | Town layer | Parish layer |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the file | Farmerville Mayor's Court and Town Clerk | Union Parish Clerk of Court, Third District |
| Where to call | (318) 368-9242 | (318) 368-3055 |
| Typical matter | Ordinance and local traffic citations | Felony and formal criminal cases |
| What to ask | Payment, reset, or a judge date | Docket and minute entries, new settings |
Farmerville Warrants and Union Parish
Farmerville is the parish seat. The courthouse, the Clerk, the District Attorney, and the sheriff all sit within a few blocks of the town's own offices. That closeness is exactly why the paperwork needs checking.
Warrant flow: Farmerville Mayor's Court and Police › Third District Court and Union Parish Clerk › Union Parish Sheriff's Office
The Clerk's criminal records run through its online image and index service. Criminal searches continue on COTT E-Search. That is a case-record tool, not a warrant flag. For the county-wide picture, start with Union Parish warrant records and work outward from the issuing court.
Who Serves a Farmerville Warrant
Three people can carry a Farmerville warrant, and the issuing court picks the one who acts.
- The town marshal, who handles city court process under Louisiana law
- Farmerville police officers working a town matter
- Union Parish sheriff's deputies, when the case belongs to the district court
A Louisiana arrest warrant runs to peace officers statewide. A Farmerville case can therefore be served wherever the person turns up.
Accessing Farmerville Warrant Records
Louisiana's public records law covers the paper a Farmerville town office keeps, with limits. Ask the office holding the record, and ask for the legal basis if a request gets narrowed.
Key Rules:
Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq. - defines a public record and the custodian who keeps it.
La. R.S. 44:31 - gives the public the right to examine and copy records, and puts the burden on the custodian to justify a denial.
La. Children's Code art. 412 - keeps juvenile court records confidential, with limited exceptions.
Farmerville Warrant Records by the Numbers
Farmerville serves as the seat of Union Parish government and ranks as its largest incorporated town.
Those figures describe the town itself, and no official source publishes a Farmerville warrant count.
