St. James Parish Warrant Records St. James Parish Warrant Records

This page explains what this site can and cannot help with, and where official St. James Parish warrant questions belong. Most requests go to the clerk or the sheriff rather than to us. The routing below sends each kind of question to the office that holds the answer, with the Convent courthouse campus contacts listed so a reader can call the right counter the first time.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This is a private reference site. It cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear one, post bond, arrange an appearance, or give legal advice. For any of those, contact the Clerk of Court or the Sheriff's Office directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Here is where the questions people ask most often about St. James Parish matters should go:

  • Whether a warrant exists in a district court case: call the St. James Parish Clerk of Court criminal records line at (225) 562-2389 or (225) 562-2271
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: call the court that set the case, which may be a Justice of the Peace district or a town Mayor's Court rather than the district court
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: talk to a licensed Louisiana attorney and the issuing court about a recall, an appearance, or bond
  • An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the issuing court sets the charge and the bail, and the Sheriff's Office or another authorized agency serves the paper
  • A town ordinance ticket: call Gramercy Town Hall at (225) 869-4403 or Lutcher Town Hall at (225) 869-5823

For a matter handled at the parish level, the two counters are the Clerk of Court, 5800 Louisiana Highway 44, 2nd Floor, Convent, LA 70723, and the St. James Parish Sheriff's Office, 5800 LA-44, Convent, LA 70723, at (225) 562-2200 or sheriff@stjamessheriff.com. Office hours on the sheriff's site run 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday. Call before traveling, because the campus holds several offices and no public warrant window is published.
