[US- TX] Unsure if scam call or real

I received a vm from a no caller id today that said it was a sergeant from a sheriffs department from a county I lived next to many years ago and left a number to call back. The vm sounded real with an actual Texas accent but I know calls are easy to fake. I looked him up and he has a linked in profile that matches the info I have. I called the sheriffs department number from their website instead of the number left in the vm (which also seems appropriate location wise) and they said they had been receiving calls all morning about scams saying they had missed court or other warnings and that’s probably what mine was. My vm didn’t contain any warnings, just the request for a call back. She did a cursory search and said she couldn’t find anyone in the system with that name but there might have been a miscommunication. I assume if it’s real they will call again and I can follow the same procedure.
