Checking for a Warrant in Anthony
Anthony Municipal Court sits at 824 Anthony Drive and answers at 575-882-5722. Anthony Magistrate is separate, at 220 Crossett Lane, Suite B, phone 575-882-2554. The city court takes ordinance, petty-misdemeanor, traffic, and DWI/DUI cases, while the magistrate runs a different state docket. Knowing which court holds your case is the first step in any warrant check.
- Read the citation and decide whether it names municipal or magistrate court.
- Use Anthony Municipal Court’s current official payment or case route for a city citation.
- Call the clerk when the result is blank or suggests an FTA or bench warrant.
- Use Anthony Police for a report or service question, not to replace the court.
- Ask the right court about a new setting, motion, payment, bond, or surrender.
Anthony Police and Municipal Court
Anthony Police works from 820 Highway 478 and answers at 575-882-2769, with non-emergency dispatch at 575-526-0795 and 911 for emergencies. The department can explain agency records and service questions. Court status, though, is Anthony Municipal Court's call. A state municipal directory doubles as a handy cross-check for the court's phone and address.

Types of Anthony Warrants
Anthony's city court and its state magistrate court are separate systems. The local city code grounds the municipal court's authority, but it creates no countywide warrant roster. Each court keeps its own docket, so a warrant in one lane is not a warrant in the other. Check with the court that issued it.
| Type | Anthony setting | First status office |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal traffic | City citation or missed traffic action. | Anthony Municipal Court. |
| City bench warrant | Missed municipal setting, notice, or condition. | Municipal clerk. |
| Magistrate warrant | State misdemeanor, DWI, traffic, or preliminary matter. | Anthony Magistrate. |
| Agency record | Police report, service, or arrest record. | Anthony Police. |
What an Anthony Warrant Record Shows
A city court or its vendor may show a citation, case, payment, or event. The signed order and what happened after it may take a call to the clerk. Treat ANT-MC-CASE-#### as a neutral format only, not an official record of any Anthony case.
| Court | Anthony Municipal or Anthony Magistrate, with the case category. |
|---|---|
| Basis | Traffic, ordinance, FTA, notice, or another court condition. |
| Payment | In-person, online, phone, or mail route listed by the city court. |
| Status | Event or disposition recorded by the issuing clerk. |
| Service | Agency information that may be separate from the court file. |
Anthony’s Court Code Authority
Anthony city code section 33.13 gives the municipal court jurisdiction over ordinance offenses and complaints, with power to issue subpoenas and warrants and to punish contempt. That local wording is why a missed city-court obligation belongs with the municipal judge and clerk in Anthony, nowhere else. It does not make every police record public, and it does not create a countywide active warrant list. For a court order, ask the municipal clerk. For an agency report or a service question, ask Anthony Police directly.
Anthony Payment Routes
Anthony's court lists four payment routes: in person, online through an Anthony court vendor, by phone at 575-201-6420, or by mail to PO Box 2525 with a check or money order payable to the City of Anthony. The vendor calls its service fees nonrefundable. The court site gives no current fee amount, so ask before you pay.
Payment caution: A payment may resolve a city financial obligation without proving that a separate FTA or bench-warrant status is canceled.
Before relying on a receipt, call the Anthony court and ask how the payment will be recorded on the case.
Anthony Magistrate Uses a Separate Lane
Anthony Magistrate is a state court, even though it shares a city name with the municipal court nearby. Per AOC triage material, its automation runs through Las Cruces Magistrate. A caller with a state case may be sent to Las Cruces. That routing never touches the municipal court's control over an Anthony city citation, so match your case to the right court before you call.
The state-court routing cue is just that, not a city warrant roster. Use the court type in Case Lookup. Keep the Anthony court name beside its phone number, and never send a municipal case to the county clerk's property search.
Anthony Police Records and Dispatch
Anthony Police can handle agency-record questions and service routing, and MVRDA takes non-emergency calls at 575-526-0795 while 911 covers emergencies. Neither the dispatch line nor the police desk is the municipal court's final word on status. For a county agency file, use the Doña Ana County IPRA route. City records requests go to the city custodian instead.
Where Anthony Warrants Fit Doña Ana County
Anthony Municipal Court or Anthony Magistrate › Anthony Police, sheriff, or another serving agency › county detention when custody occurs › authorized New Mexico systems. These channels connect operationally but do not become one public database.
Anthony cases sit inside a larger county map. The Doña Ana County warrant records home lays out the county courts and shows how a city case differs from a district or magistrate case. Start there when your Anthony search points beyond city limits.
Anthony Court Access Limits
Case Lookup is a public index, not the official record. Juvenile, sealed, investigative, and other restricted material may be missing or redacted. Court IPRA and county IPRA are separate tracks, so pick the right one. Ask by named case or date range, never for every person with a warrant. The Anthony clerk can tell you which lane your request fits.
Access rule: The Anthony Municipal Court confirms a city warrant. Anthony Police, county detention, and statewide search pages answer different questions.
Public Access to Anthony Warrant Records
New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act can back a defined city or county agency request, though exemptions apply. Each court decides access to its own docket and orders in Anthony, and a custodian can share a policy, an aggregate count, or a specified record if that is the real need. Skip requests to republish a populated city portal result or private identifiers. For a traffic matter, the traffic warrant search explains court payment and FTA boundaries without turning the record into a driving-history product.
Anthony Warrant Court Hours
Anthony Municipal Court keeps office hours of Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those hours do not guarantee a walk-in warrant procedure. Call first. The Anthony clerk can tell you what the judge requires before you show up.
