Municipal Court Warrants in Iberville County
A municipal court warrant is a city, town, or village court order in a local case. Most start as traffic or ordinance citations. Miss a date and the court can issue a bench warrant. These city warrants often stay out of the sheriff's system in Iberville County, so a person who checks only one source can miss the matter entirely. A sheriff list showing nothing does not prove no city warrant exists. Call the issuing city to be sure.
Iberville County Municipal Warrant Routes
Iberville Parish has no single municipal court. Six incorporated places each keep their own citation and court records. Grosse Tete is the sixth. It runs its local route through a police department and a payment vendor. The vendor court selector shows which local routes are grouped together, with each town standing on its own in Iberville County.
Each town is a separate Iberville County court, not one parishwide system.
Which Cities Have Municipal Courts
Each town keeps its own court records and phone line. Think of the list as a routing map for Iberville County, not a warrant list.
| Place | Court | Warrant Types | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Gabriel | Mayor's court under R.S. 33:450 | Traffic, ordinance, FTA | 225-642-5222 |
| Plaquemine | City Court under R.S. 13:2488.61 | City-limit misdemeanor, traffic | 225-687-7236 |
| White Castle | Mayor's court under R.S. 33:441.17 | Traffic, ordinance, FTA | 225-545-2484 |
| Maringouin | Mayor's court route | Traffic, ordinance, FTA | 225-625-2879 |
| Rosedale | Village mayor's court route | Traffic, ordinance, FTA | 225-648-2333 |

Note: The St. Gabriel, White Castle, Maringouin, and Rosedale listings are police or town hall numbers that route calls to the court in Iberville County.
Plaquemine Court Warrants in Iberville County
Plaquemine City Court handles misdemeanors inside the city limits, small claims to $2,500, and civil suits to $25,000. It sits at 23640 Railroad Avenue. The number is 225-687-7236. That territorial limit matters. A felony or district criminal case in Iberville County belongs with the Eighteenth Judicial District Court and the Iberville Parish Clerk of Court, not City Court.
Iberville County Mayor's Court Warrants
A mayor's court keeps its own docket and record. Its marshal serves process. St. Gabriel's court exists under R.S. 33:450, with jurisdiction running through the city. White Castle operates under a different statute, R.S. 33:441.17, which lets the board of aldermen appoint an attorney as court magistrate. That difference is why the two towns' procedures do not match anywhere in Iberville County. Confirm a current session by phone.
How to Check a Municipal Court Warrant
Call the city first. Its court issued the order, and only that office can confirm whether it stands in Iberville County.
- Read the citation or notice and copy the city, court, and citation number.
- Call the police department or court at the number listed on the city's own website.
- Open the official vendor link only through the city or court page.
- Use the ticket number where possible instead of a driver's license number.
- Ask whether the matter needs payment, an appearance, a reset, or a motion.
Court Warrants Under Iberville County Statutes
Four statutes shape the local courts in Iberville County. R.S. 33:442 sets the general mayor's-court framework. R.S. 33:450 governs St. Gabriel. R.S. 33:441.17 covers White Castle, and R.S. 13:2488.61 covers Plaquemine. Reading the right statute shows which officer serves process and what records the court keeps, but it will not show whether a particular warrant is active, so the phone call still matters.
What a Municipal Court Warrant Shows
A city court record shows what that court entered on its own case. Fields vary by court and vendor across Iberville County. A payment screen may show less than the file holds.
| Citation Number | The identifier printed on the ticket. TKT-0000000 |
|---|---|
| Defendant Name | The person named on the citation or order. |
| Violation | The ordinance or traffic charge at issue. |
| Court | The city or town court that holds the case. |
| Status | Open, paid, FTA, or a warrant category, as the court labels it. |
Iberville County Justice Court Warrants
Six justice-of-the-peace wards cover Iberville County. Each justice acts as a committing magistrate. That role carries authority to set bail within statutory limits and to require a peace bond. The state directory marks which justices are certified to handle arrest warrants. Ward 4 lacks that certification in the current listing. That office cannot do everything its neighbors can. The Justice Court Directory shows the certification field and the current ward contacts.
Checking the certification field first keeps you from calling an Iberville County office that cannot help with an arrest matter.
Resolving a Municipal Court Warrant
Ask first which path applies. A city court in Iberville County resolves its own cases through payment, a reset appearance, a recall, or a walk-in date the court sets.
Warning: A city payment portal can take money without recalling a warrant, so confirm the outcome with the court clerk.
That is the wrong office. A district felony or a sheriff-held order in Iberville County belongs with the clerk or the sheriff's warrants line instead.
