Online case results come with limits on access and timing, so treat a blank search with care. The clerk, not a website, is the reliable source for current Preston procedure.

Preston Is a Village
The 2020 Census calls Preston a village of 157 residents. Village status is an official classification, and head count says nothing about warrant activity there.
The Code Site Is Not a Docket
The municipal-code host labels its online text an informational convenience. The hard copy governs, and ordinance text reveals no Preston case or warrant.
No Preston Court Portal Was Found
Preston posts no police page, court phone, warrant list, or clearing form. Skip similarly named towns and unofficial directories; they answer nothing here.
Use the County Fallback Carefully
For county matters, call the Hickory County Circuit Clerk at 417-745-6421 and the Sheriff at 417-745-6415. Ask which office controls a Preston citation before you drive over.
A Narrow Records Request
Missouri Sunshine Law procedures can yield a specific public record once you name a custodian. They do not offer a live Preston warrant search.
