Why We Built This Site
Georgia leaves public warrant checking to local agencies rather than offering a single statewide public database. In Paulding County, the court creates the judicial record while the Sheriff's Warrants/Civil Division carries out criminal arrest warrants. State Court keeps misdemeanor and traffic matters, Magistrate Court issues arrest warrants and conducts probable-cause proceedings, and each municipal court controls its own city cases. A calendar or citation result may help identify a case, but it does not prove that a warrant is currently executable. This site organizes the official contacts, record-request routes, case-number conventions, and limits of each source so readers can start with the office that actually holds the information.
What You Will Find Here

- Missed appearances: what local records mean by bench warrant, failure to appear, and the abbreviation FTA BW
- Arrest warrants: how Magistrate and other Georgia courts issue process that the Sheriff's division may serve
- City cases: where Dallas, Hiram, and Braswell municipal matters fit within the wider Paulding County system
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site, not part of any Georgia court, the Paulding County Sheriff's Office, or another government agency. Those limits are important:
- We cannot run an official warrant check or confirm whether a warrant exists for anyone
- We cannot remove, recall, quash, or clear a warrant on any system
- We cannot post bond or accept any kind of payment toward a warrant
- We cannot arrange a surrender, a court date, or a warrant walk-through
- We cannot give legal advice or tell you how a specific warrant applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or warrant listing on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or Paulding Sheriff's Warrants/Civil Division can confirm current status. Our role is limited to routing readers to official sources.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power search boxes shown on some pages. They control their data, prices, and service terms. A paid signup may produce a referral fee that supports this site. Results from those tools are not an official Paulding County warrant confirmation and may be incomplete or stale. The Sheriff's in-person process and the issuing court remain the authoritative routes.
