This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference cannot confirm a warrant, recall an order, accept payment, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice. The answer must come from the issuing court or law-enforcement office.
Where to Ask for Official Information
Each question belongs with a different Runnels County office. Start from the court name on a citation, notice, or cause number.
- Countywide law enforcement: Runnels County Sheriff, 612 Strong Avenue, Ballinger, TX 76821, 325-365-2121. The public page links to VINELink and the Jail Roster but no warrant search.
- Jail custody: Runnels County Jail, 200 South Hickory Hill Road, Ballinger, TX 76821, 325-365-2110. Public pages do not post surrender hours or bond intake details.
- Felony or district file: Runnels County District Clerk, P.O. Box 166, Ballinger, TX 76821, 325-365-2638. Ask for the 119th District Court route.
- County misdemeanor: County Clerk, Room 106 at the courthouse, 325-365-2720. The office lists weekday hours 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing noon to 1 p.m.; its online criminal payments are misdemeanor-only.
For JP cases, contact Precinct 1 at 325-365-2137 or Precinct 2 at 325-754-4270. A ticket belongs with the court printed on it.
For city traffic or ordinance matters, call Ballinger Municipal Court at 325-365-5437, Miles City Hall at 325-468-3151, or Winters City Hall at 325-754-4424 and ask for the municipal clerk. Winters lists City Hall at 310 S. Main and police separately at 312 S. Main, so verify before traveling. Miles lists split office hours with a noon closure. Ballinger City Hall hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
Written records requests go to the office holding the existing file. Ballinger provides a city Public Information Act form; Winters lists an online and in-person transparency route. Runnels County has no dedicated sheriff warrant form or posted local fee schedule in the sources reviewed. Ask the office for the current process and any lawful redactions. Official contact pages include the Sheriff, District Clerk, and the county directory.
