Search Titus County Court Dockets

Titus County Court Docket Searches

Start with whatever paper put you on the trail. A citation, hearing notice, petition, bond paper, or prior order names the court. That name tells you where the file lives. Titus County alone will not get you there. Felony, district civil, family, and juvenile files sit with the Titus County District Clerk. County misdemeanors and County Court civil cases belong to the Titus County Clerk. So do probate and Class C appeals. Small claims, eviction, repair-and-remedy, and fine-only cases stay with the Justice Court for that precinct. Ordinance cases inside Mount Pleasant go to its Municipal Court instead.

1. Identify the court and case class from the document in hand.
2. Keep the exact cause or citation number, party name, and filing year ready.
3. Try the official local portal or the clerk’s published access route.
4. Check statewide or appellate tools only when they fit that court level.
5. Read the dated entries, status, settings, orders, and disposition in sequence.
6. Contact the custodian for a missing case, current date, or official copy.

The official Titus County home gathers links to county offices and the services they run, including the courthouse and its online offerings.

Treat the county page as a routing hub rather than a combined court docket. From there, go straight to the clerk or court that owns the case.

Four Titus County Docket Front Doors

Titus County splits its records across several offices. District-court files rest with the District Clerk. The County Clerk keeps County Court and probate records. Justice Court clerks hold precinct matters, while Mount Pleasant Municipal Court handles its own ordinance and Class C work. Appeals and federal cases run on separate systems outside those local doors.

A wrong door can look like a dead end. Change the office before you change the spelling of a name. If a notice of appeal was filed, take the trial number or style to the Sixth Court of Appeals through TAMES.

Court Dockets: What They Show

A court docket is the dated register of a case. It can identify the case, court, parties, filings, settings, orders, and outcome. It does not always hold the full text of every paper. The fields described here follow the standard model. That model is the one used by official clerk and state interfaces, not any invented Titus County case.

A filing entry does not mean a judge granted it. A listed date does not mean the hearing happened. Read forward in the docket for a signed order, reset, judgment, or other disposition.

Titus County Portal Versus State Search

The County Clerk’s Court Records page presents an acceptance step. That step leads into Texas Online Records. That destination greets you with Email or Username, Password, Login, Forgot Password, and Register controls. No anonymous party-name, cause-number, court, status, hearing-date, export, or document-price fields appear there. Controls hidden behind the account gate should not be assumed to exist.

Texas offers no single complete public search for statewide trial cases. re:SearchTX can fill gaps in civil and non-criminal work. TAMES picks up once an appeal begins. PACER governs matters in the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division, or any other federal court.

Titus County Courts and Their Dockets

The 76th and 276th District Courts handle felonies plus major civil and family matters. The Constitutional County Court covers its statutory county civil, misdemeanor, and probate work. Titus County Justice Courts hear civil cases within their authority, including small claims and eviction, along with fine-only criminal and traffic matters. Mount Pleasant Municipal Court holds ordinance and concurrent Class C jurisdiction inside the city. Each court keeps its own docket.

The Northeast Texas Child Protection Court #2 also serves Titus County. Its public specialty docket calendar lists available dates rather than a general party-name register. Child identities and other sensitive details stay restricted.

Titus County Docket Copies and Proof

A search result, a docket register, and a filed document answer different questions. The result locates a cause. The docket records events. The filed paper contains the petition, motion, order, judgment, or other document itself. When an official record is required, ask the clerk for a certified copy. Do not rely on a screen print instead.

These terms describe County Clerk services, so do not assume the District Clerk offers the same without asking. A request should state the court, cause number, filing years, the document or entry wanted, delivery method, and whether plain or certified. Ask each office about its turnaround and identification rules.

Court Dates and Settings in Titus County

The case register is the best case-specific starting point when you can reach it. Look for entries titled Notice of Setting, Order Setting Hearing, Docket Call, Trial, Plea, Sentencing, Review, Reset, or Continuance. The newest setting may supersede an older date without deleting it. For a district case, the court coordinator is the practical source for the current date, courtroom, setting type, and reset status. The county district-judge page lists (903) 577-6736. County Court, JP, and municipal settings should be confirmed with the office holding the case. Titus County publishes no countywide daily calendar or universal calendar export.

Docket call

A calendar call for readiness, assignment, pass, or reset, not automatically a trial.

Continuance

A court-approved move to a later date.

Reset

A new setting placed on the docket; it is not a dismissal.

Disposition

The recorded outcome of the case or claim.

When a setting is close, call with the exact cause or citation number in hand. The detailed Titus County court schedule walks through the confirmation path for each court.

Confirm Titus County District Settings

The District Clerk preserves the district case file. The coordinator manages settings for the 76th and 276th District Courts. That role split prevents a common mistake. Bring copy requests and register questions to the clerk. Ask the coordinator whether a district hearing is still set and where it will occur. Ask whether the court issued a reset. The Titus County District Clerk source shows the office’s contact and resource page.

The office page also links eFileTexas, fee material, family-law standing orders, passport information, and expunction resources. eFileTexas accepts filings, but it is not automatically the public-facing Titus County docket.

Docket Access Under Texas Law

Who can see a court record depends on what it is and who keeps it. Two rules set the framework. Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12 controls access to judicial records. It covers records that fall within its scope. And Government Code section 552.0035 puts judiciary information under court rules or other law. That means the usual Texas Public Information Act process is not how you get an adjudicative case file.

Some records close by court order. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 76a spells out the procedure and findings. Those are what seal covered court records. Texas Family Code chapter 58 keeps juvenile information restricted. Government Code chapter 411 can limit criminal-history disclosure once a nondisclosure order is in place. Keep the terms straight. A sealing, a nondisclosure, an expunction, a dismissal, and a reset are all different events on a docket. They are not interchangeable labels.

Never try to get around a restriction. If the custodian denies access to a record, ask for the specific record anyway and request the rule or order that governs the denial.

When Titus County Cases Go Missing

A blank result is not proof that no case exists. The cause could sit in the wrong court. It might fall outside the site's coverage years. It could sit behind a login gate, be restricted, or carry a different number format. It may also have been transferred. Start by matching the case class against the clerk map. Then check whether the matter went up on appeal or landed in federal court. County Clerk civil and misdemeanor coverage runs from 1983 forward; probate coverage starts in 1993.

Very old records can be spotty. The Texas State Library notes that the 1895 courthouse fire destroyed Titus County deed records. Some pre-fire deeds were rerecorded afterward. That point concerns land records, not every court docket. An old-record request still needs a custodian and archive check. Don't assume everything early lives online.

When a case might be sealed, juvenile, expunged, or protected family material, use the lawful clerk request route. Then use the lawful clerk request route. Need a current hearing date? Call the coordinator or the issuing court instead of trusting an empty portal result.

How the Clerk Keeps Docket Records

Two elected offices split the clerk work in Titus County. District Clerk Carin Carroll's office holds the felony, district civil, family, and juvenile records. County Clerk Leslie Brosnan's office keeps County Court civil and misdemeanor files, probate and guardianship matters, and other county records. Justice and municipal clerks each run their own lower-court dockets. The county's Titus County Clerk source lists office duties, staff, and service hours for anyone planning a records visit.

The County Clerk counter sits at 100 W First Street, Suite 204, Mount Pleasant, TX 75455. Published hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Phone the office at (903) 577-6796. Fax goes to (903) 572-5078.

Titus County Justice Docket Workload

The official OCA justice-court activity table spans September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025. Titus County's row shows 3,785 matters added and 3,953 disposed. At the close of the period, 6,013 matters were still pending. Of that ending total, 5,462 were criminal and 551 were civil. Remember what these figures are: court-reported activity categories, not unique people and not a live case search.

The OCA activity report gives useful scale and nothing more. It cannot reveal a hearing date or an outcome in one cause. "Disposed" is just a reporting category, so it does not mean every matter ended the same way.

City-by-City Court Dockets in Titus County

The Texas Comptroller counts three active incorporated city taxing units in Titus County: Mount Pleasant, Talco, and Winfield. The Texas Demographic Center's 2020 Census ranking puts Mount Pleasant first, then Talco, then Winfield. Yet only Mount Pleasant shows up in the current OCA municipal-court directory. That gap matters when you go looking for a city court docket.

Don't send a Talco or Winfield citation to Mount Pleasant's vendor. A JP case stays with its precinct, though a Class C appeal may later reach the County Clerk.

Titus County Courthouse Record History

The active Titus County Courthouse stands at 100 West First Street in Mount Pleasant. The Texas Historical Commission Atlas dates the building to 1895. Its story runs from an Italianate brick and clock-tower origin, through later Moderne and Art Deco changes, metal sheathing in the 1970s, and a 1991 renovation.

Modern records stay split even though the offices sit close together. The OCA directory lists the district courts. Those courts sit at 105 W First Street. The County Clerk works from Suite 204 at 100 W First. Justice Court offices are housed at the Justice Center, 100 South Madison. Call before you drive over. Official pages promise no lobby terminal, parking map, or one-stop public docket counter.

Come prepared. Bring the cause number, the court, the filing year, and the exact record you want. Before arriving, ask about access and copy cost. Ask about accepted payment, security, and accommodation needs too.

Map and Directions to the Titus County Courthouse

The Titus County Courthouse, an 1895 Italianate building at 100 West First Street in Mount Pleasant later remodeled and restored toward its 1940 Moderne/Art Deco look, houses the County Clerk's docket counter in Suite 204. The 76th and 276th District Courts are shown at the nearby 105 West First Street address in the state judicial directory; the county's own pages treat 100 and 105 West First as address variants of the same courthouse complex, so confirm the exact door by phone. JP civil, traffic, and eviction matters are handled separately at the Titus County Justice Center, 100 South Madison.

County pages do not confirm a lobby terminal, parking map, or single public docket counter for the courthouse, so call ahead about access and copy payment. The county page and the state directory also list two different District Clerk phone numbers, (903) 577-6721 and (903) 577-6724, so verify the number before calling about a district case.
