The Castro County Most Wanted Program
The source review did not find a Castro County sheriff most-wanted roster or a current local roundup page. The sheriff’s official site provides a general phone contact and a VINELink custody link, but no public local fugitive list. Do not treat a statewide listing as a county roster.
Texas DPS runs a curated statewide Most Wanted program with law-enforcement and Crime Stoppers partners. It describes the program and tip route; the county page should link to that official source without copying any person’s name, image, or profile.
Open the Texas DPS Most Wanted program for current categories, program terms, and official tip options.
Castro County Warrant Roster Gap
No official Castro County active-warrant or most-wanted roster was located on the county sheriff, city, court, or OCA pages reviewed. That is a research finding, not proof that no warrant exists. The useful local contacts are the issuing court and the sheriff for county-held service information.
Texas DPS’s statewide Most Wanted page is a selected public-safety program. It cannot answer whether a Dimmitt, Hart, Nazareth, JP, County Court, or district-court process is active.
Castro County Sheriff contact pageHow the Lists Work
The DPS program selects a small group for statewide attention; it is not built as a name search of every open warrant. The program page describes categories, a featured-month cycle, partner agencies, rewards, and anonymous tips. Castro County has no verified local selection rule or update cadence to publish.
Note: A curated state roster is a snapshot and does not confirm or clear any Castro court process; absence from the list is not a personal status result.
Castro County Warrant Searches Are Not the DPS Most Wanted List
Texas DPS works with local law-enforcement agencies and Texas Crime Stoppers. The program reports categories, tip channels, a featured-month cycle, and reward terms. A February 2026 DPS update reported 65 captures during 2025 and $41,000 paid to 11 anonymous tipsters. These are statewide program figures, not Castro County counts.
Use the official program page for current rules. A dated DPS update explains the reported results and partner channels.
Castro County Warrant Tips Have No Local Crime Stoppers Listing
The county and sheriff sources reviewed did not identify a Castro County Crime Stoppers roster or a local anonymous tip page. Texas DPS’s tip options belong to its curated statewide program; they are not a way to ask whether a city or JP citation is active.
For a Dimmitt, Hart, or Nazareth case, contact the issuing municipal court. For a countywide citation, ask the JP office which clerk can check it. Use an official tip channel only to report information relevant to a person currently featured by DPS.
How to Report a Tip Safely
For a tip about a person on the Texas DPS program, use one of the state’s official channels. The program describes anonymous web, Facebook, mobile-app, and Crime Stoppers phone routes. The Crime Stoppers number is 1-800-252-TIPS (8477). A tip number supports follow-up; it does not identify the caller publicly.
- Choose an official DPS or Crime Stoppers tip channel from the program page.
- Share only information relevant to the tip and save the tip number for follow-up.
- Do not approach, follow, or try to detain anyone; report an immediate emergency to 911.
- Ask DPS or Crime Stoppers how reward eligibility is reviewed and paid.
Key Point: Use official state channels, keep the tip number, and step back; do not approach anyone shown on a current program page.
No Castro County Warrant Roundup Was Located
The official source sweep found no current Castro County notice for a roundup, amnesty event, or fee waiver. The Texas Municipal Courts Education Center discusses statewide roundup concepts, but it does not confirm that a local Castro court is participating. Treat each city court’s current instructions as case-specific.
The TMCEC article provides general municipal-court program context. The linked image is not an event notice or a local roster.
For a personal citation, call its issuing municipal court or the countywide JP rather than waiting for an unverified event.
Most Wanted vs an Active Warrant
The DPS program is a curated statewide subset. An active warrant is a court or law-enforcement process that may never appear on a public list. Castro County has no verified public local warrant roster. VINELink, linked from the sheriff page, concerns custody rather than open court process.
| Feature | Most Wanted List | Active Warrant |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Selected statewide program | Case-specific court process |
| Source | Texas DPS and partner program | Issuing court and service agency |
| Public route | Program categories and tip channels | Call the court or sheriff for status |
| Resolution | Report a tip; do not use for self-clearance | Ask the issuing court or counsel |
Castro County Most Wanted and Active Warrants
The sheriff and Texas DPS serve different purposes. The county sheriff page gives a general public contact and VINELink custody route, but no county most-wanted page. DPS runs a curated statewide program. Neither one is a substitute for the JP or city clerk who controls a local citation.
If the question concerns Dimmitt, Hart, or Nazareth, contact the municipal court. For countywide JP traffic, call the JP office. For felony-file routing, use the District Clerk. A state tip line is for tips, not for resolving the caller’s court matter.
Castro County Justice of the Peace contactCastro County Warrant Custody Searches Do Not Show Every Warrant
The Castro County Sheriff page links VINELink for custody status. A custody search may help locate a person after booking, but it does not list every open warrant or identify all court process still pending. No local sheriff warrant roster was found in the county source review.
Use VINELink only for its custody purpose. For whether a specific order remains active, ask the issuing court or responsible service agency.

Do not use a tip channel to ask whether a personal warrant exists. Contact the issuing court or a Texas criminal-defense attorney and ask for the court, process label, status, appearance rule, and written next step. For county-held service questions, use the Castro County Sheriff. No Castro source publishes a standard surrender or bond window.
The state program warns people not to approach anyone listed. A tip page is for public-safety reporting, not a court status or resolution service.
Important: Get legal advice and confirm the issuing court’s instructions before appearing; do not treat a curated list as a personal status record.
Castro County Warrant Questions Belong With Courts
For a local citation or warrant, contact the city municipal court or JP that issued it. The sheriff can answer county-held service or custody questions, but a DPS tip line is not a personal court-status channel. Keep the process question with the office responsible for the case.
When calling, ask for the issuing court, current process label, appearance rule, and the written step that changes the case status. A lawyer can advise how to act on that information.
Castro County Warrant Record Requests Seek Existing Information
A Texas Public Information Act request can seek an existing policy, fee schedule, retention rule, or redacted blank form from the body that keeps it; it cannot require a county office to create a public roster. The Texas Attorney General says an office should promptly produce responsive information or notify a requester when it needs more than ten business days.
Law-enforcement exceptions may limit release, and juvenile warrant information is confidential under Texas Family Code §58.010. A records request does not replace a court’s personal status answer or stop an active case process.
