East Feliciana Parish Warrant Records
No official East Feliciana Sheriff's active-warrant search page or public active-warrant list was found on the Sheriff's site, parish site, app-store searches, or court pages. That finding changes the search order. A reader should not treat a third-party warrant site as the parish source, and a missing web result should not be treated as proof that no warrant exists. East Feliciana warrant confirmation starts with a direct office contact, then moves to the court or Clerk record tied to the case.
The Sheriff's prison, patrol, and investigation address is 12306 Haynes Street, Clinton, LA 70722. The prison/patrol/investigation phone is 225-683-3313, the 24-hour non-emergency number is 225-683-5459, the civil office phone is 225-683-8572, and emergencies are 911. The civil office is at 11315 Bank Street in Clinton. Sheriff Jeff Travis is named in the research file as the parish sheriff, with Bill Cox as Chief Criminal Deputy, Wendi Hooge as Chief Civil Deputy, and Kenny Sanders as Warden.
Important: East Feliciana Parish does not have a confirmed official online active-warrant list, so verify directly before acting on any warrant information.
East Feliciana Parish Warrant Search Fields
Because no official public warrant search form was located, the practical field list is a fallback table rather than a portal screen. The same facts still matter when calling the sheriff, asking the Clerk to check a criminal or traffic case file, or resolving a Clinton ticket matter. The more exact the name, date, case number, or ticket number, the better the office can separate people with similar names.
| Search Field or Route | Type | Required | Fallback Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full name | Text / phone detail | Usually needed | Use legal name and known spelling variations when calling the sheriff or Clerk. |
| Date of birth | Date | Helpful | Helps distinguish people with similar names, but public release may be limited. |
| Case number | Text | Optional if known | Useful for Clerk criminal, traffic, civil, or bench-warrant records. |
| Ticket number | Text | Needed for Clinton ticket payment | Town instructions say QuickCourt requires ticket number and amount due. |
| Issuing office | Office route | Helpful | Sheriff, 20th JDC, Clerk, Mayor's Court, JP court, or federal court may hold different records. |
| Phone confirmation | Call | Recommended | Use 225-683-3313, 225-683-5459, or the court office tied to the case. |
Clerk and court records matter because bench warrants, capias orders, failure-to-appear entries, peace bonds, and criminal minute entries may be in the case file even when there is no separate public warrant list. Louisiana VINE can show custody after a person is detained, but the research file is clear that it is not an active-warrant database.
Types of East Feliciana Parish Warrants
Different warrants use different records. A criminal arrest warrant may involve the sheriff and DA, a bench warrant may be in the 20th Judicial District Court or a local ticket court file, and a search warrant may stay sealed while an investigation is active. East Feliciana also has local Clinton ticket channels, JP court jurisdiction, and federal court channels for matters outside the state parish court system.
- Arrest warrant means law enforcement or prosecutors established a legal basis to arrest a person.
- Bench warrant or capias is usually judge-issued after failure to appear, failure to pay, contempt, probation violation, or missed court requirements.
- Search warrant authorizes a search of a place or property and may remain sealed during the active stage.
- Fugitive warrant or hold may be used when another jurisdiction wants the person detained.
- Peace bond is a local criminal-court or public-safety filing category listed on the Clerk's criminal fee page.
- Civil process can involve enforcement tools in civil records, but it should not be confused with a criminal arrest warrant.
Federal matters are separate. East Feliciana is in the federal Middle District of Louisiana under 28 U.S.C. 98, while federal dockets and warrants follow federal court procedures rather than the parish Clerk's public counter.
East Feliciana Parish Warrant Fields
A warrant result or related case file may contain only part of the record. Public availability depends on the issuing court, the age of the warrant, whether the warrant is sealed, and whether the person has already been arrested. When a warrant is connected to a filed criminal case, the Clerk's criminal record may provide better context than a brief custody entry. When it is connected to a town ticket, the Clinton route may be the first place to ask.
| Field | Public Availability Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | May be provided by sheriff or court if the warrant is public and active. |
| Case number | May appear in Clerk criminal, traffic, or civil records tied to the warrant. |
| Issuing court or judge | Could be 20th JDC, Mayor's Court, JP court, or federal court depending on matter. |
| Charge or statute | May appear in a criminal case file or booking roster after arrest. |
| Bond amount or type | May appear after arrest, court setting, or booking. |
| Warrant date | May be shown in a court minute, order, or case event. |
| Status or recall | Must be confirmed with the issuing court or sheriff because old information can be wrong. |
| Sealed status | Some search warrants and investigative warrants may not be public until execution or unsealing. |
The Middle District court information page is one official federal starting point for clerk hours, cashier hours, general phone/fax, and helpdesk information.
How to Check East Feliciana Parish Warrants
A careful warrant check uses the office most likely to have the live status. Court records can show that a capias or bench warrant was issued, but the issuing office or sheriff is the better place to confirm whether it is still active. A recalled warrant may still appear in an old case event until all systems update. For that reason, the final step is always live confirmation.
- Call the East Feliciana Sheriff's Office or the prison/patrol/investigation number to ask how active warrant confirmation is handled.
- If the warrant is tied to a court case, contact the East Feliciana Parish Clerk of Court and ask about the case number, minute entry, or capias record.
- If the issue is a Clinton ticket, use the ticket number and amount due with Town Hall, QuickCourt, or the police records clerk.
- If the matter may be federal, use PACER, the Middle District CM/ECF path, or the federal clerk contact rather than the parish Clerk.
- Ask whether a court appearance, bond, payment, attorney filing, or surrender is required before taking action.
- After resolution, request proof of recall, clearance, payment, or court disposition from the issuing office.
Clinton ticket nonpayment or failure to appear can follow a local route. The Town of Clinton Police page says tickets may be mailed to Town of Clinton, P.O. Box 513, Clinton, LA 70722, paid at Town Hall at 11209 Bank Street with no cash accepted, or paid online through QuickCourt when the ticket number and amount due are available.
Federal East Feliciana Parish Warrant Paths
Federal records should not be mixed with local sheriff warrant checks. East Feliciana Parish sits in the federal Middle District of Louisiana, and federal case access is usually handled through PACER or federal CM/ECF systems. Bankruptcy matters are separate from district-court criminal matters, but the manifest includes a successful Middle District Bankruptcy image because federal jurisdictional routing can matter when a name search points outside the parish court system.
The PACER Louisiana Middle Bankruptcy Court page identifies the bankruptcy court CM/ECF record path and court contact data.
The 28 U.S.C. 98 jurisdiction listing places East Feliciana in the Middle District of Louisiana.
Resolve East Feliciana Parish Warrants
Do not rely on an old screenshot, a commercial database, or a rumor when the issue is an active East Feliciana Parish warrant. Call the sheriff or the issuing court, then ask what action is required. A court may require an appearance, a bond, a payment, or a lawyer's filing. If surrender is required, ask where to report, what identification to bring, and whether personal property limits apply at the jail.
If the warrant is tied to a filed criminal charge, the DA and 20th JDC process may affect how it is resolved. If the person is taken into custody, the East Feliciana jail roster or VINE may later show custody, but that does not replace the warrant recall or court disposition. After payment, surrender, court appearance, dismissal, or recall, ask for written proof from the issuing office because updates may not move instantly across sheriff, court, and statewide systems.
Important: People facing an active warrant should consider legal advice before surrender, payment, or any court filing.

Restricted East Feliciana Parish Warrants
Some warrant material is not public. Search warrants can be sealed while an investigation is open. Juvenile matters are restricted by Louisiana Children's Code article 412 except where disclosure is allowed. A sealed criminal file should not be described as missing just because it cannot be seen in a public search. Ongoing law-enforcement records may also be withheld from a public-records request.
The Clerk's public-records page says juvenile criminal and sealed records require petitioning the court. That rule matters for bench warrants, capias entries, and failures to appear tied to restricted case files. Parish-government records outside the Clerk use the Police Jury request form, but sheriff and court records should be requested through the office that holds them. If the public office says a record is sealed, the next step is a court order or authorized request, not a broader web search.

Note: Louisiana VINE can help after custody occurs, but it is not an official East Feliciana active-warrant database.
