This is not a government or law-enforcement office. It cannot confirm a warrant, recall or clear an order, accept bond, arrange surrender, set a court date, or give legal advice.

Booking and Bond Questions
The Socorro County Detention Center is at 1001 Grefco Road. Its page explains cash, surety, property, and personal recognizance bonds. It says currency is not accepted at the center for bonds and describes money order or cashier’s check instructions. Confirm the court’s exact bond and release order first.
The detention page says a new-charge initial appearance occurs within four days at Socorro Magistrate Court, while district warrants and probation violations may vary. This is not a universal warrant timeline.
Records Requests
Use the office that holds the record. For county-held Sheriff material, Socorro County lists Andrew Lotrich, 198 Neel Avenue, PO Box D, Socorro, NM 87801, 575-835-0589, fax 575-835-4629. For a court file or warrant event, use the relevant court or the New Mexico Courts IPRA form.
A focused request should name one court, one case, one date range, and the event sought. IPRA access can be limited by sealed, juvenile, personal, or law-enforcement restrictions. A written request is not an emergency clearance tool.
