Smithville Warrants Start at the City Court Clerk
Smithville's city information names Police Records / City Court Clerk Beth Adcock and a City Judge, but the official sources reviewed did not show a public warrant-name search or live roster. Start with the clerk contact tied to the city court and give the citation number, case number, or court date printed on the notice.
A city citation belongs with Smithville’s municipal route when the notice names City Court. If it names another court, use the DeKalb County overview to identify that court’s records contact. The city office can identify its own record; it cannot change another court’s order.
How to Check for a Warrant in Smithville
Smithville does not publish a public warrant portal. Call the City Court Clerk / Police Records contact at 615-597-8210, extension 2 listed by MTAS, and ask which office holds the citation. Bring the date and number from the paper if available.
- Read the court and issuing agency on the Smithville citation or notice.
- Call Police Records / City Court Clerk and ask whether the City Court holds the record.
- Ask whether an appearance, payment, reset, motion, or proof of compliance is required; no city recall form was found.
- If the paper names a court outside Smithville City Court, use the county overview to locate that court’s records contact.
- Ask the named issuing office for current instructions; a city phone contact is not a status portal.
Smithville's Police and Court Records Stay Separate
Smithville Police is listed at 104 Don Cantrell Street, with 615-597-8210 as the public phone. City Hall is at 104 East Main Street, phone 615-597-4745, with weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The city names Beth Adcock as Police Records / City Court Clerk and identifies Gayla Hendrix as City Judge.
For an ordinance or municipal traffic notice, ask Smithville City Court which record the clerk can check and what next step applies. A police department contact may route an operational question, but it does not replace the judge’s direction or serve as an online status result.

The Smithville Police Department and Municipal Court
Smithville City Court handles its municipal lane, and city police provide the published police and records contact. The city names Beth Adcock as Police Records / City Court Clerk and identifies a City Judge. These are official-capacity roles, not a public warrant search service.

Call to ask which counter holds the citation, what the current court date is, and whether the city’s record needs attention.
The Smithville departments page provides the published municipal contacts.
Department listings help with routing but do not show individual case status.
Smithville’s 2020 Census Count Describes the City
The Census incorporated-place table gives Smithville 5,004 residents in 2020. The figure helps describe the city’s municipal service area, but it does not indicate how many citations, cases, or warrants exist. A current answer still comes from the office that maintains the particular court file.
Use the number on the citation to identify which court's records are relevant, not the population or where a person currently lives.
Types of Smithville Warrants
Smithville records may involve municipal ordinance or traffic matters, a missed city-court setting, or a separate criminal case named on another court’s paperwork. The court named on the notice determines who can confirm process and what remedy is available. A city citation should not be routed to a payment service until the clerk confirms it belongs to that case.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal traffic | Ticket or missed city-court date | Smithville City Court |
| Ordinance process | City ordinance matter requiring court action | Smithville City Court |
| Bench / FTA | Failure to meet a city-court appearance or order | Issuing city court |
| Other criminal process | Separate complaint or criminal case | Court named on the paperwork |
Smithville Citation Instructions Come From City Court
The county traffic page describes a different citation route and should not be applied automatically to a Smithville ticket. Read the court and issuing agency printed on the city citation, then ask the City Court Clerk about the deadline, payment channel, or required appearance for that exact case.
The reviewed Smithville material does not publish a consolidated city warrant lookup, ticket-payment vendor, or walk-in recall schedule. Call Police Records / City Court Clerk at 615-597-8210, extension 2, and confirm current instructions before sending payment or appearing.

What a Smithville Warrant Record Shows
No public Smithville warrant result or number format was located. A city clerk may use the citation, case number, date, and court to find an existing record. Ask which status term the court uses and whether a later action changed it.
| Case number | Use the citation number shown; no city warrant code is public. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Smithville City Court or the separate court named on the paper. |
| Charge / ordinance | Read the ticket or notice and ask the clerk for the court's description. |
| Amount / date | Confirm whether an amount is a fine, cost, bond, or appearance requirement. |
| Current action | Ask whether process is pending, served, recalled, or replaced by a new date. |
Smithville Police Contact Is Not a Warrant Portal
The Smithville Police website gives department and public-safety context, but the research review did not locate a name-search warrant page, active roster, or online recall form. A public contact page tells a reader where to ask; it is not a live status display.
Use the number and address on the city website to reach the right public office, then ask whether City Court or another court owns the record. Confirm current hours and procedures before visiting.
The official Smithville Police site is the city source for department information.
The official police page provides department context, not a warrant-name result.
Where Smithville Warrants Fit With DeKalb County
Smithville City Court and Police handle city matters; a separate court or agency holds other process. Tennessee’s TIES, TCIC, and NCIC systems are restricted to authorized users rather than public name-search tools. For the county and state routing beyond Smithville, use the DeKalb County warrant records overview.

Smithville Warrant Records Need a Focused Request
If a phone call does not answer a record question, ask the city custodian about inspecting an existing Smithville City Court file. Name the case or citation number and date. The Tennessee Public Records Act does not require a city office to create a new searchable warrant list.
Ask about copy charges and response timing before requesting a certified copy. The clerk can explain record access and routing, but not legal advice about defenses or whether surrender is the right step.
Public Access to Smithville Warrant Records
Tennessee's public-record law applies to city and county custodians, subject to confidentiality rules. Juvenile records are sealed, and other protected or investigative material may be withheld. Ask the custodian about the specific existing record rather than assuming every warrant detail is public.
Key Rules:
Tennessee Public Records Act, T.C.A. §10-7-503 provides access to existing public records, subject to exceptions.
Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 4 governs complaint-based warrant process.
DeKalb County court information says juvenile records are sealed.
