Hohenwald City Court at 106 North Court Street
Hohenwald's City Court Clerk is listed at 106 North Court Street, with phone (931) 796-3223 and fax (931) 796-3790 in the MTAS directory. The city police page also places the police and court contact at that location. No separate warrant desk or online search is listed.
Use that office for an ordinance or city citation question. Ask whether the clerk can confirm the court entry, identify a next date, or direct you to the judge's required motion or appearance.
How Municipal Court Warrants Work
Hohenwald City Court handles city-ordinance and city-citation matters under the city charter. The city judge may issue necessary process, assess authorized penalties and costs, and address contempt. A missed city setting can lead to court-directed process, but the local court must confirm the exact warrant label and next step.
A city record is separate from Lewis County General Sessions and Circuit records. A county clerk or sheriff inquiry may not show a Hohenwald City Court matter, so the city clerk is the first contact for a city citation.
City Hall and City Court Have Different Addresses
Hohenwald City Hall is at 118 West Linden Avenue, while Police and City Court are at 106 North Court Street. City Hall's administrative number is (931) 796-2231. The City Court Clerk's direct number is (931) 796-3223. These locations serve different questions.
If a paper names City Court, call the clerk before visiting. The historic Lewis County courthouse at 110 North Park Street is also distinct from the Justice Center at 29 West Main, where county court operations moved in February 2020.
Municipal Courts Across Lewis County
Hohenwald is the only incorporated city with a distinct municipal-court system identified in the regional county profile. Lewis County has no separate Justice-of-the-Peace or constable court structure. The city court is therefore the local municipal route; county cases go through General Sessions or Circuit as named on the paper.
| City | Court | What It Handles |
|---|---|---|
| Hohenwald | Hohenwald City Court | City ordinances, city citations, necessary process, and contempt |
What the Hohenwald Charter Allows
The Hohenwald charter gives the city judge jurisdiction over city-ordinance violations and authority to issue necessary process, administer oaths, levy authorized fines and costs, and punish contempt. The charter explains why a city process can remain with Hohenwald rather than a Lewis County criminal court.
The charter does not provide a current warrant payment amount, recall form, or online case search. Ask City Court to identify the process recorded in the individual case.

Lewis County Municipal Warrant Checks
Call the City Court Clerk at 106 North Court Street, (931) 796-3223, for a Hohenwald ordinance or citation matter. The city police page gives contact information, but no online citation search, warrant form, payment portal, or court-calendar tool was located. City Hall at 118 West Linden is an administrative office, not the City Court counter.
Have your name, date of birth, citation or case number, and court date ready. If the issue involves service or booking, ask whether the sheriff also has a record. County-law tickets should be directed to the court named on the citation.
- Check whether the paper names the City of Hohenwald or a city ordinance.
- Call the City Court Clerk at (931) 796-3223 with the citation or case number.
- Ask whether the matter is in City Court and what order or hearing is recorded.
- For service or custody questions, call the sheriff; for county cases, call the county court.
No Hohenwald Payment or Recall Form
The city and MTAS pages provide contact information, but no online payment vendor, payment-plan form, warrant recall form, amnesty program, or fee schedule was located. A person should not assume that paying a fine by an unrelated link changes the City Court docket.
Call the clerk, confirm the exact total and accepted method, and ask whether the judge requires a new appearance or written motion. Request a receipt or order showing the action taken.
Municipal Warrants: What They Show
No Hohenwald sample warrant or public record screen was located. The blank Tennessee forms provide a general field model: case number, issuing court, charge, bond amount, initial-appearance date, and officer return. The city clerk must confirm which items appear in a local city-court record.
Hohenwald has not published a local number format or status-code legend. Do not treat a missing result at the county level as proof that a city process is absent.
| Case number | Local format not published; use the number on the citation. |
|---|---|
| Charge | City ordinance or citation text recorded by Hohenwald City Court. |
| Issuing court | Names Hohenwald City Court and may show the judge or clerk. |
| Bond / fine | Amount and terms are case-specific; no city schedule was located. |
| Status | Ask the clerk whether the docket shows pending, served, recalled, or paid. |
TPRA Requests for City Court Records
If you need an existing Hohenwald court document, ask the city or court custodian how it accepts a Tennessee Public Records Act request. No city-specific warrant request form was found. Identify the record, case number, and date range, and ask about fees before requesting copies.
The Comptroller's FAQ explains that if the record cannot be provided promptly, the custodian must within seven business days produce it, give a legal reason for denial, or estimate the additional time. Juvenile or sealed material may remain restricted.

Clearing a Municipal Court Warrant
Hohenwald does not publish a warrant-recall form, fee schedule, payment plan, or online portal. Call the City Court Clerk and ask whether payment, a new date, a court appearance, bond, or a motion is required. The city judge controls the city process, and the clerk can route dates and paperwork without giving legal advice.
After action, ask for a receipt or written order and when the City Court and sheriff records will reflect it. A payment or release does not necessarily end the underlying citation or ordinance case.
- Ask the City Court Clerk to confirm the case, warrant label, and current court entry.
- Ask which appearance, payment, bond, or motion option the judge permits.
- Keep the receipt or signed order and ask when the city and sheriff records update.
- Confirm separately whether a traffic compliance issue with the state remains.
Warning: Do not assume county payment or a sheriff call recalls a Hohenwald city warrant; confirm the action with City Court and get it in writing.
