Checking for a Warrant in Wray
Start with the paperwork in front of you. A Wray city citation belongs to Wray Municipal Court. A county misdemeanor, county traffic case, or felony case runs through Yuma County Combined Court instead. Before calling either clerk, gather the full legal name, date of birth, citation or case number, approximate court date, and issuing agency. Use only your own information or details supplied by a relative trying to understand the matter.
- Call Wray Police Department and Municipal Court at 970-332-4890 for a city citation or missed city date.
- Use the official municipal page to review payment and appearance rules, not as a warrant-status database.
- For a Wray city public record, submit a specific CORA request to the City Clerk.
- For county or district matters, inspect the Yuma County docket and call Combined Court at 970-592-6120.
- Use Yuma County Sheriff’s general line, 970-332-4805, for law-enforcement routing or its records route for a targeted releasable record.
- Ask the issuing court to confirm whether a warrant is active, recalled, served, or otherwise resolved.
Wray Police-Station Municipal Court
The Wray Municipal Court sits inside Wray Police Station at 326 W 4th Street, Wray, Colorado 80758. Court starts at 9 a.m. on the date listed on the citation. For court or police questions in Wray, call 970-332-4890. Emergencies go to 911. The city offers no separate warrant phone, public name search, citation lookup, or bond counter. The official municipal-court page sets out those basics.
The official page confirms that Wray court and police functions share the West 4th Street station. That makes the station the correct first stop for a Wray city citation.
Wray Police and Municipal Court
Wray Police Department writes city citations and hosts Municipal Court in the same building. According to the court page, an appearance is required if a fine goes unpaid before the issued court date, or when the citation itself is a summons. The page walks through paying before your date. It publishes no Wray warrant list, though. It also makes no promise that paying after a missed date recalls a warrant, so call the court before assuming your payment settles things.
Wray Municipal Court
326 W 4th Street, Wray, CO 80758. Court begins at 9 a.m. on the cited date. Call 970-332-4890 before appearing after a missed date.
Wray City Clerk
245 W 4th Street, Wray, CO 80758. Public-record requests can go to the clerk by mail, email, or in person.
These Wray offices sit close together, but they are not interchangeable. Court status questions go to the police-station court contact. City-held administrative records follow the City Clerk route.
Wray Payment Before a Court Date
Before the date printed on an eligible citation, Wray offers three payment routes: online, by mail, or in person at Wray Police Department. Cash, certified check, money order, personal check, credit card, and online payment all work. For online payment help, the page points to Deb at 970-592-2111. Those instructions only cover the period before court. If the date has passed, call 970-332-4890 before paying anything. Ask whether the judge wants a reset, an appearance, payment, a recall request, a bond, or some other step. Wray publishes no public recall form, no warrant-lift fee, and no universal bond amount, so the court's answer controls.
Quick answer: Pre-court payment can satisfy an eligible citation, but payment after a missed Wray date is not automatic proof of warrant recall.
Wray Warrant Types
"Warrant" covers several different court orders. Wray Municipal Court handles its own ordinance and municipal traffic cases. State County Court takes limited-jurisdiction county criminal matters, and District Court handles felonies. The underlying file tells you the type and the right contact.
| Warrant or process | Likely Wray route | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal bench warrant | Wray Municipal Court | Possible response to a missed city-court duty |
| County bench warrant | Yuma County Combined Court | Missed obligation in a county case |
| Arrest warrant | District or County Court | Judicial arrest authority based on probable cause |
| Summons | Issuing court on the document | Command to appear without immediate arrest |
| Search warrant | Issuing judicial record | Authority to search, not an arrest-order lookup |
Colorado and local sources say "bench warrant" or "warrant for failure to appear." "Capias pro fine" is not the verified Wray term.
Wray Warrant Search Has No Portal
Wray has no public active-warrant list, no municipal-warrant status page, no warrant-number input, no mobile app, and no searchable citation interface. That gap does not mean no warrant exists. It means a Wray warrant check must run through the court, clerk, police, and county fallback chain rather than a missing web result. The Colorado Judicial Yuma County docket can offer county and district case clues. It filters by county, courthouse, court type, date, case-number parts, party, attorney, and case class. Its hearing labels and calendar rows are not warrant confirmations. Wray city matters may not appear there at all, since municipal court is a separate venue.
Inside a Wray Warrant Record
Wray's public municipal page gives process terms, not a sample warrant entry. The fields below may appear on a citation or court-held record when the issuing office provides them. No local warrant-number pattern exists to copy.
| Citation or case number | The identifier on the person’s paperwork, if available, such as citation reference. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Wray Municipal Court or the state court shown on the document. |
| Document type | Summons, ordinance citation, municipal traffic citation, or warrant. |
| Required date | The payment or appearance deadline stated by the court. |
| Judge action | Any issuance, reset, recall, or appearance direction confirmed by the court. |
| Status or amount | Active, recalled, served, fine, or bond information only if the record supplies it. |
Ask the Wray court which field confirms the current order. A receipt, old calendar, or payment-help screen does not establish present status.
Wray CORA Records Route
The Wray City Forms page links the city's Colorado Open Records request and its fee schedule. The request form asks for a name, request date, address, phone, email, a specific description, a signature, and the date. Send it to City Clerk Emily Ellis at PO Box 35, eellis@cityofwray.org, or City Hall, 245 W 4th Street. Questions go to 970-332-4431. The official forms index lists the current documents.
The form route works for a narrow request aimed at a releasable Wray record. The City Clerk does not have to create a new warrant report or gather records another agency owns. After receiving a request, Wray generally allows three working days for a search. Inspection happens by appointment, usually during weekday hours. Criminal-justice records may sit with a different custodian, and redaction or withholding can apply to sealed, juvenile, victim, confidential, and active-investigation material.
How Wray Warrants Fit the County System
Wray splits its warrant work between two offices. City ordinance and municipal traffic cases start with the Municipal Court and the Police Department. County misdemeanors, county traffic, and felonies run through Yuma County Combined Court. The sheriff serves papers county-wide but posts no single public list merging city and state warrants. So call Wray Police or the Municipal Court for a city file. Turn to the Combined Court clerk for county or district papers. If the law-enforcement stage is unclear, sheriff routing helps. Colorado offers no statewide warrant search to replace those calls. The Yuma County warrant records overview lays out that broader structure while keeping this Wray page on the city.
Wray Court Fees Are Not Warrant Fees
Wray's 2025 fee schedule covers court costs, not warrants. It lists a $30 municipal court cost for a guilty, no-contest, plea-deal, or found-guilty ordinance violation. Police research runs $20 per hour after the first hour. An accident or case report costs $3, and digital video on a thumb drive is $25 plus $20 per hour for redaction.
None of those figures is labeled a warrant-clearance fee, recall charge, bond, or reinstatement amount. Confirm any case-specific amount with the Wray court before paying.
Wray Missed-Date Warrant Steps
A missed date changes the safest sequence. The usual pre-court payment instruction may no longer match what the judge requires. Call Wray before traveling, since City Hall and the police-station court sit in different buildings.
- Locate the citation and note the issued court date and citation number.
- Call 970-332-4890 and state that the date has passed.
- Ask whether a warrant exists and whether the court requires payment, reset, recall, appearance, attorney action, or bond.
- Follow only the current instruction from the court or judge.
- Keep the receipt or order and confirm the warrant’s status.
- Track the underlying ordinance or traffic case and the next date.
Caution: A Wray warrant is not cleared merely because money was accepted. Ask Municipal Court to confirm the judge’s recall or other status.
Wray Warrant Records and Public Access
Colorado's Open Records Act, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-200.1 and following, sets the public-record framework. Criminal-justice records face added limits under C.R.S. §§ 24-72-301 and following. A requester needs the right document and the right custodian. CORA does not force Wray to build a consolidated warrant search, and the official City of Wray site gives the local administrative context for asking.
The city site separates administrative contacts from the Municipal Court and Police Department at the other West 4th Street address. For immediate warrant status, call the issuing court. For a releasable copy, use the written records route. If access is denied or redacted, ask for the legal basis. And remember: a missing public response, calendar entry, or online name does not prove a Wray warrant does not exist.
