Municipal Court Warrants in Cannon County
A municipal court in Cannon County hears city ordinance matters and, most often, city traffic cases inside its own limits. Woodbury keeps a current city-court clerk listing plus a separate police contact. Auburntown's current MTAS directory names no municipal court and no police department, though that gap in the directory does not rule out a city process. A municipal citation or a failure-to-appear case can live outside the county Circuit Clerk's portal, so ask the city office first and follow whatever referral it gives. One more thing: a capias is a court order directing custody, but the term that matters is whatever the actual court record uses.
Which Cities Have Municipal Courts
Cannon County holds two incorporated cities, and their public routes differ. The lookup table shows what is confirmed and where each search begins.
| City | Municipal court route | Possible matter | Public contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Woodbury | Woodbury Municipal Court; current city clerk listing | Ordinance and city traffic | 615-563-5940 |
| Auburntown | Current municipal court clerk not identified | Ask City Hall which court applies | 615-830-2672 |
Cannon County readers can check the Tennessee courts directory for the municipal court role, though it offers no Auburntown warrant search.
Cannon County Woodbury Municipal Warrants
The MTAS Woodbury directory links the city code and names Title 3, Municipal Court, and Title 15, Motor Vehicles, Traffic, and Parking, with a July 7, 2026 update noted. Those titles point a Cannon County reader toward the ordinance and city-traffic rules. The code is not a live warrant search, though. There is no citation lookup or payment portal in it. Before paying, resetting a date, or appearing, call the City Court Clerk; the clerk and police contacts sit in the official directory.
The code link cannot confirm a case status, so Cannon County callers should verify address and procedure with the office itself.
How to Check a Municipal Court Warrant
For a Woodbury matter, call City Court Clerk Josh Thomas or the police contact at 965 West Main Street, 615-563-5940. Ask three things: is the citation a city filing, what does the court call any FTA or capias, and is there a public case record? Woodbury publishes no online warrant lookup, citation form, or payment schedule. For a suspected Auburntown matter, ask City Hall at 615-830-2672 which court or agency keeps the record. If the answer is a county case, go to the Circuit Court Clerk or General Sessions office. Do not assume every Auburntown issue belongs in Woodbury Municipal Court.
Cannon County Municipal Court Record Fields
A city-court record can hold the citation or case number, the ordinance or traffic charge, filing date, court date, an FTA event, bond terms, and disposition. Woodbury publishes no public field list or sample warrant record. Ask the clerk what public record actually exists, since the Cannon County portal may not display the city's process.
| Citation or case number | Use the number printed on the person’s own ticket or notice. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Confirm Woodbury Municipal Court or the county court named in the file. |
| FTA or capias | Ask what event or order was entered after a missed appearance. |
| Payment or bond | No universal city fee, online payment, or bond rule was located. |
| Status or next date | Request a current docket entry, reset date, recall order, or receipt. |
A public record request can seek existing Cannon County entries; it cannot force a clerk to build a new list.
Woodbury Warrant Address Check
Woodbury's current AOC clerk listing gives 965 West Main Street. An older 16th Judicial District standing-order PDF says 956 West Main instead. That PDF dates from the COVID era and is historical only. The current AOC and TBI contacts use 965 West Main, but call before traveling to confirm the right office and entrance. One more trap: Woodbury is the Cannon County seat, so "Woodbury courthouse" could mean the county courthouse, the city court, or the police. They are separate offices. City Hall sits at 101 West Water Street, while the county courthouse is at 200 West Main Street.
Cannon County Municipal Warrant Referrals from Woodbury
A city ordinance or traffic case starts with Woodbury Municipal Court and its clerk, while county General Sessions and Circuit matters go to the Circuit Court Clerk. The sheriff and jail answer questions about county service and custody. Woodbury Police is listed separately for the city. A hit on the county portal does not prove the city court record is complete, so check both systems when the citation's source is unclear. For the full county court and sheriff route, see the Cannon County warrant records overview.
Cannon County Auburntown Warrant Court Gap
The current MTAS Auburntown directory lists City Hall at P.O. Box 38, Auburntown, TN 37016, and 615-830-2672, with office hours Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the school year. It names no municipal-court clerk and no municipal police department. So call City Hall and ask which office applies to your specific citation or ordinance record. A 2010 directory described the court differently and used older contacts, and it should not be read as current. Auburntown has no online warrant portal, amnesty day, payment page, or police contract on offer anywhere in Cannon County.
Cannon County Municipal Warrant Resolution Steps
Ask the issuing city court what it accepts: payment, a new date, a motion to recall or quash, or bond. Cannon County publishes no Woodbury recall form, payment plan, amount, card rule, surrender hours, or bond methods. Auburntown's directory does not say which court handles a city citation, so get that referral first.
Before acting: Ask the clerk what the court order requires and whether payment changes the warrant status or only the balance.
Hold onto the receipt, new court date, or signed order. Ask Cannon County officials when the city and any serving agency will update their records. Skip the probation drop box unless Probation itself tells you to use it.
Cannon County Portal May Miss City Warrants
The Cannon County portal covers public Circuit and General Sessions party and case records. It is not listed as a municipal index. Its results will not show every active process. A Woodbury citation may sit in city court, while an Auburntown citation means asking City Hall to identify the record owner. The sheriff's office posts no countywide warrant list either. When you cannot tell where a case started, ask the clerk to name the issuing court before filing a Tennessee Public Records Act request. Include the person's own case number and date range. Then ask whether an existing public entry can be inspected or copied, since Cannon County clerks can usually point you to the right counter.
Cannon County City Warrant Process Stays Local
A city ordinance warrant travels the local court path, not the federal system. Cannon County sits in the Middle District of Tennessee for federal matters. But a federal docket or fee notice cannot tell you whether Woodbury issued a municipal process. If a notice names a federal court, call that court or a federal lawyer. For a city citation, start with the City Court Clerk or City Hall. The two systems have different record owners and service routes. Keep them separate.
