Checking for a Warrant in Burns Flat
Burns Flat's municipal court page offers a calendar and a way to pay, not a citation or warrant search. It names Judge Jim Hines, puts court at Town Hall, and lists a phone for confirming dates. A police email address is not an official reporting channel. Take a ticket or municipal case straight to the court.
- Read the citation and note the Burns Flat case or citation number.
- Call Town Hall at (580) 562-3144 and ask whether the matter is in court, payment review, FTA, bond, or warrant status.
- Ask if payment alone recalls the warrant, or if a judge, bond, reset, or new date is needed.
- Search OSCN if the case belongs to District Court.
- Call the Washita sheriff at (580) 832-2370 only for county service or custody confirmation.
The sheriff's Most Wanted page is only a partial list. It cannot replace a call to the Burns Flat clerk.
Burns Flat Police and Municipal Court
The Burns Flat Police Department page says the department provides 24/7 protective services and routes reports to the sheriff or 911. It also warns that listed email addresses are not an official reporting system. That warning matters when the question is a warrant. The municipal clerk and Town Hall remain the first stop for a citation.

Burns Flat Warrant Types
A Burns Flat municipal judge hears ordinance and traffic cases. Miss a setting or leave a fine unpaid, and the city can start a bench or arrest process. A county criminal case instead follows District Court rules.
| Type | Local trigger | Who to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | Missed citation response or traffic date | Municipal court clerk |
| FTA bench warrant | Missed court appearance or bond promise | Judge or clerk |
| Ordinance warrant | Unresolved town-code complaint or summons | Municipal court |
| District Court warrant | County case or court event | Washita Court Clerk |
Burns Flat publishes no public warrant filter to sort these types apart. The clerk's case record does that work.
Burns Flat Court Calendar
The official municipal court page lists sessions at 6 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. It publishes a 2026 calendar and notes that dates can shift for holidays or cancellations. Call Town Hall before trusting any listed date.
Payments are taken Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Paying does not automatically recall a warrant. Ask for a receipt and written status.
Burns Flat Warrant Record Fields
The town posts no search-form schema. A clerk may work from the citation, name, case date, charge or ordinance, court setting, FTA event, payment, bond, and recall or new date. Ask which field identifies your case before paying.
| Citation or case | Bring the number printed on the ticket or court notice. |
|---|---|
| Court event | Missed date, bond, cost, payment, warrant, return, or new setting. |
| Amount | Ask the clerk for the current total. No public countywide or Burns Flat warrant schedule was posted. |
| Result | Request a receipt, new date, order, or written recall confirmation. |
A blank on the county Most Wanted page does not prove a Burns Flat citation is clear.
Payment Is Not Recall
Burns Flat lists payment hours but promises nothing about a warrant being recalled by payment alone. Ask whether the court needs a new appearance, bond, judge order, or clerk entry. If the court reports an FTA to the state, ask how compliance gets recorded.
Confirm twice: Payment, warrant recall, case completion, and a new court date are different records. Get the clerk's written instruction.
The sheriff's bondsmen page warns that filed paperwork must be complete, notarized, and carry a case number. It posts no Burns Flat bond amount or window. Call before any sheriff or jail visit.
Burns Flat and Washita County
Burns Flat Municipal Court and Police › Washita County Sheriff's Office when county service is involved › no single public Oklahoma warrant system. A city matter may never appear in the county Most Wanted cards. For a county case, use the Washita County warrant records home, OSCN, and the Court Clerk at (580) 832-3836. The sheriff's public number is (580) 832-2370.
Keep the county route short. The Burns Flat clerk stays the first source for a Burns Flat ticket.
Burns Flat Warrant Records and Access
The Oklahoma Open Records Act sets the public-record framework, though protected law-enforcement information, sealed material, and juvenile records can be limited. Juvenile court records stay confidential under 10A O.S. ยง 1-6-102.
Local access: Ask Town Hall for the releasable municipal file and the reason for any redaction. Ask the county sheriff only for records it actually holds.
Burns Flat publishes no records-request form, fee schedule, online warrant lookup, or recall form. A direct call to the clerk is the honest route, and any changed status should be confirmed with the municipal court.
