The State Line County Boundary Comes First
State Line straddles two counties. Official sources put the town in both Greene and Wayne, and its 2020 Census population of 452 counts the whole incorporated town rather than a Greene-only slice. The same caution governs court routing. A State Line street address tells you nothing about which county received the filing, so ask up front whether the citation or case sits on the municipal docket, in Greene Justice Court, or with a Wayne County court before you request records or plan a visit. That single question saves a wasted trip across the county line, and it keeps your warrant search pointed at the office that can actually answer it. Confirm the docket first, then act on what the clerk tells you about next steps and any court date tied to the matter.
Use State Line’s Published Municipal Contact
The town's published municipal directory lists P.O. Box 95, State Line, MS 39367-0095, telephone 601-848-7755, and fax 601-848-7493. It names the municipal clerk and judge, and a 2024 state audit confirms the current administrative and police-chief roles. Neither document offers a way to search warrant records, though. State Line publishes no current physical city-hall or court address, so confirm everything by phone before you travel.
A State Line Call Should Establish Jurisdiction
- State that the inquiry concerns one’s own city case.
- Give the citation or case number and issuing agency.
- Ask which county and court received the filing.
- Confirm any missed-date entry, warrant, judge action, and next setting.
- Request the correct clerk’s address before traveling or mailing records.
Keep that referral close. If the State Line clerk sends you to Wayne County, do not assume any Greene-only office still holds the docket.
Greene-Side Tickets Follow a Separate Route
Greene-side tickets travel a different road. When Mississippi Highway Patrol or the Greene Sheriff writes a ticket and files it in Greene Justice Court, the number to call is 601-394-2347 at 416 Main Street, Leakesville. A Greene Circuit felony or capias question belongs to the Circuit Clerk at 400 Main Street, 601-394-2379. Those county contacts cannot replace the State Line municipal clerk for a city ordinance or municipal traffic matter. Ask the first clerk you reach to identify the filing rather than working down a phone list, and let the answer point your warrant check at the right court the first time.
State Line Record Fields to Request
| Filing county and court | The jurisdiction controlling the case |
|---|---|
| Citation or case number | The exact docket identifier |
| Charge and scheduled date | The municipal or county matter at issue |
| Process history | Issue, return, service, recall, and disposition entries |
| Next instruction | Appearance, payment, bond, motion, or referral stated by the clerk |
No State Line Bond or Payment Schedule Was Found
State Line publishes no bond schedule. Nothing official lists a warrant bond amount, a payment vendor, clerk-counter hours, an identification rule, a walk-in surrender policy, or a recall form. Do not borrow practices from Leakesville, McLain, Greene Circuit, or Wayne. Ask the municipal clerk or the identified filing court about each item directly. If custody seems possible, have a lawyer coordinate before you appear. Send payment only through a route the controlling clerk confirms.
Written Requests Depend on the Custodian
Mississippi municipal schedules treat dockets, minutes, and case files, including warrant, bond, and satisfaction documents, as open categories, but access restrictions still apply. So ask State Line who actually maintains the record you want. The Greene Circuit Clerk form, with its $1-per-page and hourly assistance terms, applies only if a Greene office accepts the request. A Wayne custodian or a municipal one may follow a different process entirely. Ask for a referral instead of reading silence as proof, since a blank response does not mean no record exists. That page shows which schedule the request falls under and what the clerk requires before any warrant, bond, or satisfaction file moves.

Close the State Line Loop With the Right Court
Once jurisdiction is settled in State Line, nail down the process type, the current status, and the response the judge requires. Follow the authorized route for appearing, paying, posting bond, or filing a motion, and keep the receipt or order. Then confirm the docket reflects the result. No police or Sheriff service contact can recall a municipal or county judge's order; only the issuing court can.
Boundary safeguard: never send a person to a Greene courthouse until the State Line clerk or ticket confirms that Greene County holds the case.
