Check Crandall City Court Before JP4
For a city citation, use Crandall's Municipal Online Services portal or contact the municipal court administrator. The official page lists Susana Perdomo at 104 E Trunk, 972-427-3767, and sperdomo@crandalltexas.com. If the portal result shows a balance or warrant, ask the clerk what the amount covers and whether a judge must take additional action.
- Read the case papers to identify whether Crandall Municipal Court issued the citation.
- Use the city's vendor search with the identifier that matches the citation.
- Call the court administrator if the result is missing or does not explain status, fees, or recall.
- For a county or state agency ticket, confirm whether Kaufman County JP4 has the case.
- Use police records for an existing police document, and seek legal advice for a criminal warrant question.
Crandall's Vendor Offers Five Lookup Methods
The municipal portal presents searches by citation number, driver's license, vehicle information, name, and business name. The citation method requests a citation number and date of birth; driver's-license and vehicle routes include a state selector; the name route uses first and last name with date of birth. These field choices help locate municipal cases, but they do not expose every warrant or court event.
The portal is a citation and payment interface, not a published active-warrant roster. If no match appears, the case may use another identifier or another court. Call the administrator with the citation rather than treating a blank screen as clearance.

The court's own administrator remains the contact for a warrant status or court action.
Crandall Court Handles City Citations as a Court of Record
Crandall describes its municipal court as a court of record with an administrative role for cases arising within the city. Its official Criminal Court page identifies the court administrator, phone, fax, and email. The clerk maintains the city-court case and can explain payment, appearance, or recall steps.
Crandall Police Department is also listed at 104 E Trunk, but its enforcement and police-record functions are distinct. The same civic address does not merge the police and municipal court records; name the department and case type when calling.
Crandall Municipal Court official pageThe Crandall Police Department page shows its separate public-safety and records contact.
The police page's county link is agency navigation, not a shared municipal-court warrant file.
A Blank Crandall Search Does Not Prove No Warrant
The inspected vendor screen showed search fields but no public example of an active warrant, bond entry, judge, or warrant number. It is useful for locating a citation and payment amount when the identifiers match. It cannot certify that a person has no other process in a different court or county.
If a city ticket is missing, verify the citation number and date format, then ask the administrator whether the case is in Crandall's system. If the document names JP4, contact that court instead.
Crandall Process for Traffic and Ordinance Cases
Crandall municipal matters can include city traffic and ordinance citations, unpaid court obligations, and process after a missed setting. A criminal arrest warrant is not simply a citation balance; it follows judicial procedure for the underlying criminal case. The issuing court and case number determine which process applies.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic citation process | Unresolved Crandall ticket or missed court requirement | Crandall Municipal Court |
| City ordinance process | Alleged city-code violation in the municipal docket | Crandall Municipal Court |
| Capias or warrant | Process issued after a court obligation or judgment | Crandall municipal judge |
| Criminal arrest warrant | Judicial authorization tied to a criminal allegation | Judge or magistrate in the assigned case |
Crandall Lists Two Different Added Amounts
The city's updated fee schedule lists a $50 special expense associated with issuance and service of a warrant of arrest. It separately lists a 30 percent charge on specified unpaid debts and accounts receivable, including fines, fees, court costs, forfeited bonds, and court-ordered restitution. These line items have different triggers and are not a countywide warrant price.
Check the current fee schedule and ask the court which charge applies to a specific citation. Ask whether the amount includes service expense, whether a payment plan or appearance is available, and when the warrant status will update.
Crandall Municipal Court and current fee informationWhat a Crandall Vendor Match Can Confirm
A portal match can help locate a Crandall citation or an amount due, but the inspected interface does not publish a warrant-number format, bond field, judge, or complete execution status. The court administrator can explain whether the case has a warrant and what the city record shows after a payment or hearing.
| Warrant / Cause Number | The citation or case identifier accepted by Crandall's city portal; no warrant format is published. |
|---|---|
| Subject Name | Name fields are one of several available ways to locate a municipal citation. |
| Charge / Offense | The city traffic, ordinance, or fine-only matter on the municipal docket. |
| Issuing Court | Crandall Municipal Court for a city-filed matter. |
| Bond / Fine Amount | Ask the administrator which fees and court costs are included in the total. |
| Status | Confirm whether process is active or recalled directly with the court. |
Ask Whether a Listed Fee Is a Warrant Expense
Crandall's fee schedule distinguishes the special expense for issuing and serving a warrant from the percentage charge on specified unpaid court accounts. A portal balance may aggregate fines, costs, and fees without explaining which rule added each item.
Request an itemized explanation from the municipal clerk and ask when the court's warrant status will change after payment. Keep the current schedule and receipt with the case papers; do not apply the same amounts to JP4 or another city.
When a Crandall Ticket Belongs to JP4
A Crandall city citation remains with its municipal court, while Kaufman County JP4 handles county or state citations filed in that precinct area; a sheriff custody question follows the county jail route. The county sources did not identify a single statewide public active-warrant roster. For county process see Kaufman County warrant records and the county warrant lookup steps.
Warrant flow: Crandall Municipal Court for a city case › JP4 for a county/precinct case filed there › sheriff for county custody
Crandall Court Administration Uses a Named Contact
The city Criminal Court page identifies Court Administrator Susana Perdomo and gives a direct court email, phone, and fax. Use that municipal court contact for the citation, fee schedule, payment status, or request for a court record. A request sent to police or the county may reach a different custodian and delay a city-case answer.
When calling, say “municipal court” and provide the citation number. If the matter is a police report or another law-enforcement record, name that separate record type and confirm the PD records route.
Requesting Crandall Court or Police Documents
Crandall's municipal court and police department share a civic address but keep different records. Make a focused request for an existing city-court or police document and include the case number, approximate date, agency, and record type. Public-information law does not require the city to compile an active-warrant list or issue a legal status certification.
Key Rules:
Texas Public Information Act, Government Code chapter 552 - Section 552.021 generally provides public access, subject to applicable exceptions.
Government Code section 552.108 - Certain law-enforcement information may be withheld when its requirements apply.
A request involving protected juvenile law-enforcement information must account for confidentiality under Family Code section 58.008.
Crandall Police Links to the Sheriff, Not a Shared Court File
The Crandall Police page describes community policing and links to the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office. That navigation reflects law-enforcement coordination, not a merged municipal court record or a countywide warrant portal. Crandall Municipal Court remains the status and clearance contact for city citations.
Use the police department for police reports and public-safety matters; use the municipal court for citation, warrant, and payment questions. Do not treat a sheriff link as evidence that a Crandall city warrant appears in the county inmate search.
