This page covers the offices, phone numbers, and methods you need to check Houma warrant records in Terrebonne Parish.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff and Houma Warrants

The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office (TPSO) is the primary agency for warrant records in Houma. Their office is at 7856 Main Street in Houma, LA 70360. The main phone number is (985) 876-2500. For the warrants division specifically, call (985) 876-2500, extension 216. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

The TPSO maintains the parish-wide warrant database. All arrest warrants and bench warrants issued through the 32nd Judicial District Court get routed through this office. When you call the warrants division, have the full legal name and date of birth ready. The staff can check the system and confirm if a warrant is active. They may share the charge and bond amount. Basic status checks cost nothing.

In-person visits to the sheriff's office at 7856 Main Street are another way to check warrant records. Bring a government-issued photo ID. You can ask about a specific person's warrant status or submit a public records request for copies of warrant documents. Under La. R.S. 44:1, most warrant records become public once filed with the court or served.

Houma Police Department Warrant Records

The Houma Police Department also maintains local warrant records. Their main phone number is (985) 873-6371. The HPD handles cases within the Houma city limits, and Houma City Court issues warrants for municipal violations. If someone misses a city court date, a bench warrant gets issued through that court and the police department may be involved in service.

For parish-level warrants, the TPSO is the better contact. For city-level warrants, calling the Houma Police Department first makes sense. Both agencies coordinate on warrant service, so either one can usually tell you if an active warrant exists for someone in Houma.

Note: Houma City Court warrants are separate from 32nd Judicial District Court warrants, so checking both systems gives you a more complete picture.
