Assumption Parish Municipal Court Warrants
A municipal court warrant is one local court's own order. In Assumption Parish that court is the Mayor's Court in Napoleonville, which hears ordinance violations, blighted-property cases, and camera citations. It sits apart from the Twenty-Third Judicial District Court. A village matter may not appear on the sheriff's Current Warrants portal, so start with the office that issued the paper and confirm with the sheriff.
Assumption Parish Municipal Warrant Court Dates
Napoleonville's ordinance and blighted-property court meets at 6 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month. The courtroom is the Village Administration Building at 4813 Hwy 1. Official holidays can shift it. A declared disaster can too. The village's court calendar page carries the schedule. In Assumption Parish, though, a posted calendar is not a live docket. Call City Hall at 985-369-6365 before traveling, and ask whether court is sitting and what a missed date means. Note: A monthly calendar cannot confirm a warrant, so ask the court about your own case before planning a trip.
Assumption Parish Cities With Municipal Courts
Assumption Parish has exactly one incorporated municipality: the Village of Napoleonville. Its Mayor's Court is the only municipal court route here. That is it. Belle Rose, Labadieville, Paincourtville, Pierre Part, and Supreme are communities or census-designated places, not cities, so none of them has a municipal court route.
| City | Municipal Court | Warrant Types | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Napoleonville | Mayor's Court (Village of Napoleonville) | ordinance violations, blighted property, camera citations | 985-369-6365 |
Assumption Parish offers no second city route to check. Only one municipal court exists here. The Assumption Parish town and community page shows which places the parish treats as incorporated communities.
That list is why municipal warrant questions here run through one village court.
Where Assumption Parish Municipal Warrants Live
No public municipal warrant list or bench-warrant search exists for Assumption Parish. The village court page posts no warrant procedure, recall motion, bond schedule, payment list, or records request form. The Napoleonville police page runs no village warrant portal either.
- Capias
- A general court term for an order to arrest or bring someone before a judge.
- Ordinance violation
- A local law matter heard by a city or village court.
- FTA
- A missed required court date.
- Recall
- A court order that cancels a warrant.
Written requests go to the office that keeps the record. The parish's public records request page explains the Assumption Parish process.
Village court and sheriff records are held by those offices.
Checking a Municipal Court Warrant
Start with the paper that opened the case. The municipal route in Assumption Parish is small and works partly by phone, so begin there and work outward.
- Call Napoleonville City Hall at 985-369-6365 for a Mayor's Court matter; ask whether a citation became a warrant.
- Use the camera citation lookup page for a ticket, with a ticket number or a driver's-license number.
- Call the Assumption Parish Clerk of Court at 985-369-6653 for a district court case.
- Call the correct justice-of-the-peace ward: Ward 1 at 985-369-2509, Ward 2 at 985-526-6588, or Ward 3 at 985-513-1565.
- Search the sheriff's Current Warrants portal and call 985-369-7281; it may not include city warrants.
- File a written public-records request with the office that holds the record, describing your own record.

Assumption Parish Camera Ticket Lookup vs Warrants
Two online tools get mixed up here. The QuickCourt camera citation page linked for Napoleonville looks up a camera ticket. It takes payment by ticket number or driver's license. It shows no warrant type, arrest status, or recall button. The sheriff's Current Warrants search queries records the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office publishes. That makes a useful cross-check. Still, a camera citation is not a criminal warrant. Note: Paying a camera ticket does not, by itself, prove that a separate municipal or district warrant was recalled.
Inside a Municipal Court Warrant
No sample Assumption Parish municipal warrant record is posted publicly. The fields described here are what a citation and court file normally carry.
| Citation or Ticket Number | The identifier on the citation; the camera lookup takes a ticket number or driver's-license number. |
|---|---|
| Offense | The ordinance violation or blighted-property matter named on the paper. |
| Issuing Court | Usually Napoleonville Mayor's Court, or the district or JP court on the citation. |
| Appearance Date | The date the citation requires, which a warrant question usually turns on. |
| Status | The court's current word on the case, which a web page may not reflect. |
Assumption Parish Municipal Warrants and Arrest Risk
R.S. 33:441 gives Assumption Parish mayors' courts jurisdiction over municipal ordinance violations. It also grants mayoral committing-magistrate powers. The mayor can serve as a magistrate under that law. The court can act on its own local cases. The court page does not promise a warrant for every missed date, so ask about the specific case.
Key point: Louisiana law lets a mayor's court handle ordinance violations and gives the mayor committing-magistrate authority under R.S. 33:441.
A city matter and a district matter are not the same thing. The Twenty-Third Judicial District Court handles district criminal cases. Its orders stay in its own records. Do not ask one court to clear the other court's warrant.
Beyond the City: Assumption Parish Warrant Routes
Assumption Parish runs three justice-of-the-peace courts. Each has a justice and a constable. Ward 1 is in Napoleonville, Ward 2 in Thibodaux, and Ward 3 in Pierre Part. The Louisiana Attorney General justice-court directory confirms a justice of the peace, so a matter can sit outside Napoleonville too.
The directory is a routing aid. It is not a warrant list. Use the sheriff's portal for a public Assumption Parish warrant search. The Most Wanted List page explains how that list differs from an active warrant. Note: Ward offices, the district court, and the sheriff keep separate records, so no single Assumption Parish search covers every court.
How to Resolve a Municipal Court Warrant
What the court ordered shapes the fix. Common options are paying the fine, resetting the date, asking about a recall, or appearing in person. Napoleonville posts no municipal warrant process. In Assumption Parish, call City Hall at 985-369-6365 and ask which applies. A district case goes to the Assumption Parish Clerk of Court instead.
Warning: Pay, reset, recall, and walk-in are all court-specific. Assumption Parish posts no municipal warrant process, so call City Hall first.
Ask whether an attorney can appear for you in Assumption Parish, and ask which office updates the record and when.
