Reagan County Court Docket Search

How to Search the Reagan County Court Docket

Texas offers no single statewide search that captures every Reagan County trial-court case. Start with re:SearchTX, which runs role-based Cases and Hearings searches across the state. Reagan County also uses NetData locally. That word comes from the Office of Court Administration. Even so, syncing to the public system is not guaranteed there. So treat a blank result as a prompt to call the clerk. It is not a final answer.

Before searching, gather the basics. Collect the party name, court, and approximate year. The exact case number from a notice or an old filing sharpens a docket search. Reagan County publishes no public case-number pattern, so the case number matters most. A name match alone is just a lead. Confirm county, court, filing date, case type, and case style before trusting it.

1. Choose the 112th District Court, Reagan County Court, Justice Court, or Big Lake Municipal Court route.
2. Use Cases for the register or Hearings for a public setting in re:SearchTX.
3. Select the search basis and enter a name or exact known case number.
4. Open the matching case description and review filings, hearings, and judicial officer.
5. Confirm the result or request a copy from the clerk or court that holds it.

Start Reagan County Docket Questions With the Combo Clerk

Reagan County runs its records through one office rather than two. The county's official page lists Tammy Hodge as County Clerk/112th District Clerk. The Office of Court Administration calls this a Combo Clerk. That one office handles the filing. It also answers Reagan County court docket questions for both the constitutional County Court and the 112th District Court. Each court still keeps its own case series and jurisdiction. Name the right court when you call.

The clerk page offers a general contact form. It asks for a name, phone, email confirmation, reason for inquiry, and a reCAPTCHA. Nothing labels it as a certified-copy order form, so spell out what you need: the court, the case, the document, the date range, and whether you want certification.

What a Reagan County Court Docket Shows

Think of a Reagan County court docket as an index and a timeline. It is not always the whole file. The official re:SearchTX guide lays out case details around a case header, parties, attorneys, judicial officers, filings or documents, and hearings. Reagan County displays no live sample. Check the current result for local labels, codes, costs, service status, and what documents are actually included.

A setting only means a hearing was scheduled, not that it happened. A filed charge is not proof of a conviction either. Read the later docket entries for a reset, an order, a dismissal, a judgment, or a disposition before drawing any conclusion.

Reagan Official Records Search Is Not a Court Docket

Reagan County's Official Records Search is an official county service. It is not a court docket. Its scope runs to recorded documents and Commissioners Court material. The search screen offers many filters. Department, grantor, grantee, subdivision, document type, document number, date range, meeting date, and OCR controls are all there. Nothing in it covers trial-court case type, judge, charge, party role, setting, or disposition.

The clerk page also posts monthly court-appointment and fee reports. A report showing no appointment activity in a month says nothing about the Reagan County court docket. It does not show whether the court had cases. Trustee-sale notices at the courthouse are separate too. They have nothing to do with a judicial docket call.

Which Reagan County Courts Keep Dockets

Four state trial-court channels handle different Reagan County matters. Pick the wrong office. A valid case can go unfound that way. The combined clerk serves the two principal county and district routes. Justice Court and Big Lake Municipal Court keep their own separate contacts.

Reagan County has no Court at Law and no separate statutory probate court. Federal cases touching Reagan County belong to the Northern District of Texas, San Angelo Division. Those run through PACER, not a county docket.

Searching Reagan County Dockets in re:SearchTX

The official re:SearchTX guide splits searches into Cases and Hearings. Which identifying fields you get depends on the Search By control. The guide describes party, attorney, judge, and case-number searches, and a wildcard works for names. Results sort by newest filing date, oldest filing date, or case number, and account features can include alerts, folders, sharing, and filing actions.

eFileTexas plays a different role. It submits filings for authorized users, not public Reagan County court docket lookup. Always verify an official record with the court of record.

Finding Reagan County Court Dates and Settings

Check three date channels against each other. A case detail may show a hearing block. The county calendar offers Day, Week, Month, and Agenda views with a Docket category. Its county and district rendering carries no substantive docket rows, though. For firm confirmation, use the clerk and the 112th Court administrator directly.

Begin with the signed setting or notice. Then hunt for the newest order and hearing entry. The combo clerk's number for local case identity is (325) 884-2442. For a 112th District Court setting, use the district administrator route. That route is published on the court site. Justice and Big Lake Municipal dates come from their own offices.

Remember what a date change means. A reset replaces or follows an earlier setting. A continuance request moves nothing until the court acts. If a date is missing, do not infer the case was dismissed or closed.

One Reagan County Docket Day Each Month

The 112th District Court serves Reagan, Crockett, Pecos, Sutton, and Upton Counties. Under its published practice, Reagan gets one regular docket day each month. It starts promptly at 10:00 a.m. That is a scheduling pattern only. It does not mean the clerk updates the Reagan County court docket just once a month. Nor does it mean every case is called on that day.

Hearings are generally held in person. One monthly Zoom docket is reserved for prove-up matters and pleas. Counsel who want a trial date are told to contact the Court Administrator. After counsel agree on a date, an Order Setting Hearing is e-filed for the judge's signature. Current signed instructions control over an old image or a blank calendar.

Note: Call before relying on the monthly pattern. The case-specific order sets the actual Reagan County court date and hearing method.

Public Access to Reagan County Court Dockets

Start with the right court and the right office. Reagan County court records answer to Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12, not the routine an agency record follows. Online access has limits. A search may show the index of a Reagan County court docket yet hold back a sealed, confidential, or redacted document.

Redaction rules shield certain identifiers and sensitive data. A blank result can mean other things. The court may be wrong, the record may sit in an older paper file, a name or date may be off, or the system may not cover it, so an empty search proves nothing about sealing.

When a Reagan County Docket Result Is Missing

Start with jurisdiction. District and County Court cases go to the combo clerk. A justice matter goes to the JP office. A Big Lake Class C matter stays with Municipal Court. Then retry re:SearchTX using the exact case number from a notice. Compare Cases with Hearings. If the result stays blank, ask whether the file sits in NetData, a historical paper volume, or a restricted category.

The county calendar's Docket filter and export tools help you inspect posted public events. But they are not a complete case register. In the same way, the district-clerk payment portal was unavailable. It directed callers to the office. Neither situation tells you the status of an individual case.

For anything urgent, rely on the latest signed order and direct court confirmation. A docket image can go stale after a reset, continuance, new filing, or judgment.

The Reagan County Clerk and Docket Records

Tammy Hodge's office knows the difference between a docket sheet and the filed papers behind it. Ask for a plain copy when you just need to read it. Ask for a certified copy when you need an authenticated clerk document. Say whether you want the full file, one order, a judgment, or only the chronological register.

Reagan County publishes no general court-copy form and no complete local certified-copy fee table. The recording-fee sheet covers recorded documents only. So do not apply it to district or County Court case copies automatically. re:SearchTX may charge for document images even when a case index is free to search. Before ordering, confirm the current cost, page count, certification, delivery method, and payment instructions.

The clerk is the route to the record. The judge or administrator handles other court functions. A setting question may need both. That means the Reagan clerk for case identity and the 112th administrator for the hearing schedule.

Four Reagan County Docket Custodians

The Reagan County court docket network works best when each record stays with its custodian. The combo clerk serves 112th District and constitutional County Court cases. Patty Davenport's Justice office keeps the justice-court route. Big Lake Municipal Court handles city Class C and ordinance matters. Federal records go through the San Angelo federal clerk and PACER.

That split is why a broad name search can miss a valid record. A municipal citation is not copied into the county clerk's system on its own. A federal complaint does not belong in re:SearchTX. A recorded real-property document can be public in Official Records Search. That publicity alone does not create a civil court case.

Use the case heading, citation, notice, or filing stamp to identify the court. If the court stays unclear, describe the record and event to the local office. Do not guess a label.

Reading Reagan County Docket Terms

Reagan sources use docket, docket day, court calendar, setting, regular docket days, and Order Setting Hearing. re:SearchTX works with Cases, Hearings, Case Details, filings, and documents. The terms overlap, but each points to a different part of the record.

Docket sheet

The chronological register of filings, settings, orders, and outcomes.

Setting

A scheduled event, which may later be reset or continued.

Order

A signed court directive; an Order Setting Hearing places an agreed date before the judge.

Disposition

The recorded outcome of a case or charge.

Certified copy

A clerk-authenticated copy, distinct from a browser printout.

No public Reagan code list exists. When an abbreviation is unfamiliar, read the full entry and the filed order instead of guessing.

Court Dockets by City in Reagan County

Big Lake is the only incorporated city profiled for this build. The 2020 Census counted 2,965 residents. The OCA municipal report used a 2024 figure of 2,762. The two numbers come from different years. They say nothing about any court case rate.

Best, Stiles, and Texon appear as Reagan communities in federal venue information, but none has its own incorporated municipal-court system. They stay off the city docket list.

Map and Directions to the Reagan County Courthouse

The combined County Clerk/112th District Clerk office keeps both Reagan County Court and 112th District Court case files at the Reagan County Courthouse in Big Lake, and the Justice of the Peace also works from the courthouse. The 112th District Court's multi-county administrator is instead based at the Crockett County Courthouse in Ozona, so a district hearing date is best confirmed there rather than in Big Lake.

A separate 112th District Court listing gives the courthouse address as "3rd Street" rather than 300 N Plaza Avenue; the county's own repeated address controls here, but the discrepancy is worth a confirming call. No parking, security-screening, or accessibility information for the courthouse has been published, so call the clerk at (325) 884-2442 before a trip.
