Checking for a Warrant in Maud
Maud posts no name-based or citation-based warrant portal for the public. The working route is a phone call to the municipal clerk at City Hall. Have the citation or case number ready, and ask whether the matter is still municipal, whether a judge appearance is required, or whether it was sent on to District Court. Before using GovPay for a fine, let the clerk explain exactly what a payment changes. The city's public page never promises that paying automatically recalls an active warrant, so get that answer first.
- Identify the citation, court date, and offense category.
- Call City Hall and ask whether a municipal warrant was issued.
- Ask about the second-Monday session, bond, appearance, reset, or recall.
- Ask whether the case was referred to Seminole or Pottawatomie District Court.
- Keep the written court proof and any DPS compliance instruction.
Maud’s Second-Monday 4 p.m. Session
Maud Municipal Court convenes on the second Monday of every month at 4:00 p.m. inside City Hall at 208 W. Main, Maud, Oklahoma 74854, and it handles traffic and misdemeanor cases filed under the Maud Code of Ordinances. Judge Matt Peters presides, and Clerk Amanda Needham runs the office side. The schedule tells you when court happens in Maud, not what a person with an outstanding warrant should do, so call during regular City Hall hours and ask what the court expects before anyone walks in. Maud's municipal court page carries the current dates and the names behind each role.
Maud Police and Municipal Court
For a Maud warrant question, the court page is the more useful stop. It gives the City Hall location and the clerk's phone route. The Maud police side posts no separate warrant line or portal.

Maud Warrant Types
Maud's ordinance lays out a few city paths. A municipal judge can issue a summons or an arrest warrant on a complaint. Miss court, and a warrant may follow. A traffic failure to appear, or an unpaid obligation, can trigger a DPS-notice sequence in qualifying cases.
| Type | Maud setting | First source |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | Missed date or unpaid traffic matter | Municipal clerk and judge |
| Ordinance warrant | City-code complaint | Municipal Court |
| FTA process | Promise to appear not met | Clerk, judge, ordinance |
| Referred District Court matter | Felony or other misdemeanor | Correct county Court Clerk |
The ordinance’s terms should be used for the particular case.
Maud’s Marshal Language Matters
Part 6 of the Maud ordinance directs each warrant to the municipal marshal and lets the marshal, a police member, or another lawful person execute it. That is a local service rule, not a sign that every Maud warrant lands with the Seminole County Sheriff. Ask the clerk who actually holds the process, whether the warrant is still active, and where a person should report. A call to the county sheriff can sort out county execution, but the city court keeps the municipal record. The ordinance page holds the official service language.
Maud Cases Can Cross County Lines
The Maud court page notes that felonies and some misdemeanors may be referred to the District Court of Seminole or Pottawatomie County depending on where the event occurred. That one detail heads off a common routing mistake. A Maud ticket is not automatically a Seminole District Court case, and a Maud ordinance matter is not automatically county business. If the clerk says the case was referred, get the court name and the case number. Then search the correct OSCN county and call that Court Clerk.
What a Maud Warrant Record Shows
A Maud file can hold the complaint, a summons or warrant, the ordinance charged, court dates, bond, a plea, payments, proof filings, a DPS notice, and the service role. No live field list is published, so follow the clerk's own labels.
| City case key | Maud citation or cause number, such as MAU-year-number as an illustration. |
|---|---|
| Authority | Maud Municipal Court or the referred District Court. |
| Trigger | Complaint, missed appearance, unpaid obligation, or ordinance event. |
| Process | Summons, arrest warrant, bond, marshal return, payment, or proof. |
| Status | Active, served, returned, recalled, satisfied, or local wording. |
| Access | Adult city record, juvenile limit, sealed item, or withheld file. |
A GovPay receipt is not, by itself, proof of recall.
Maud’s 120-Day DPS Notification Sequence
The ordinance covers a person released on personal recognizance who fails to appear and has not paid, posted bail, or arranged satisfaction. In qualifying cases the clerk may issue a warrant and notify DPS within 120 days, subject to statutory exclusions. Once the matter is satisfied, the court or clerk supplies proof and tells DPS or the proper state jurisdiction. Ask whether that rule applies to your citation, what proof the city wants, and whether its notice has gone out. This is court compliance, not a driving-record lookup.
How Maud Warrants Fit the County System
Maud Municipal Court or Marshal/Police › Seminole County Sheriff only if county execution or custody is involved › District Court if the matter was referred. The sheriff’s Most Wanted page is not a municipal feed.
For the county-level route, use Seminole County warrant records. For a city ordinance or traffic file in Maud, the clerk comes first.
GovPay Is Not Automatic Recall
Maud links GovPay for fine payments on its page. Nowhere does the city say a payment button recalls an active warrant. Call the clerk before paying, and ask for the current balance, any assessment, the bond, the next date, and written proof.
Confirm the outcome: ask whether the payment satisfies only money due or also changes warrant status, and whether a judge order or appearance remains.
Retain the receipt and request the court event that controls.
Maud Warrant Records and Public Access
Adult city records can be requested by name under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, so cite the case or citation, a date range, and the warrant action you want described. Maud publishes no request form or fee table. Juvenile municipal provisions and Title 10A wall off protected records. 51 O.S. §§24A.5 and 24A.8 set the framework. Ask for the non-exempt portion and the reason for anything withheld.
Maud’s Population and Local Limits
Maud counted 867 people in the 2020 Census incorporated-place table, good for fourth in the county page order. That figure says nothing about open warrants or City Hall staffing. The current court page offers no warrant portal, no bond schedule, no recall form, and no promise that GovPay clears a warrant on its own. Those are the points to nail down before you appear.
