Lookup Roosevelt County Court Dockets

Roosevelt County Court Dockets

A court docket is the schedule or chronological court event record for a case. In Roosevelt County, the public docket pages published by the Ninth Judicial District are hearing schedules for District Court and Magistrate Court. They are not complete electronic case files. A hearing docket may help confirm that a matter is set, which court is involved, and whether a party should call the court for more detail. It will not replace a complaint, order, judgment, sentence, or certified copy.

Use the docket for timing. Use Case Lookup, re:SearchNM, in-person inspection, or a New Mexico Courts IPRA request for the underlying case record. This split matters in Roosevelt County because District Court, Magistrate Court, Portales Municipal Court, County Probate Court, and the County Clerk each hold different records.

The Ninth Judicial District docket landing page is the official hub for Curry and Roosevelt County hearing schedule links.

That landing page is the best first stop when the hearing may be in District Court or Magistrate Court rather than Portales Municipal Court.

Roosevelt County District Court Docket

The Roosevelt County District Court docket publishes hearings scheduled for the current day plus six days in the future. District Court is the general trial court for felony cases, major civil matters, domestic relations, juvenile jurisdiction, mental health matters, contested estate matters, administrative appeals, and lower-court appeals. If a hearing is not listed, the court instructs users to contact the court for additional information.

The District Court docket carries an important disclaimer: hearing details may contain omissions, and the court makes no warranty about the information. Treat the online schedule as a confirmation tool, not a substitute for a notice from the court or a direct call to the clerk. Roosevelt County District Court is at 109 W. First St., Portales, NM 88130, with phone 575-359-6920.

The official District Court docket source is the specific Roosevelt County District Court schedule page.

That page is narrow by design, so past docket history should be checked through court records rather than the short-window schedule.

1. Open the Ninth Judicial District docket landing page or the Roosevelt County District Court docket page.
2. Review the current day plus six-day window for the listed hearing schedule.
3. Compare the court name, party information, and case context to the notice or case record.
4. If the hearing is missing or unclear, call Roosevelt County District Court at 575-359-6920.
5. For filings, orders, judgments, or past activity, use Case Lookup, re:SearchNM, or the court clerk request route.

Roosevelt County Magistrate Dockets

The Roosevelt County Magistrate Court docket follows the same short-window model: hearings for the current day plus six days. Magistrate Court handles limited civil and landlord-tenant matters up to $10,000, felony preliminary hearings, misdemeanors, DWI/DUI, and traffic violations. It is located at 1630 N. Boston Ave., Portales, NM 88130, separate from the courthouse, with phone 575-356-8569.

Magistrate dockets often matter early in a criminal or traffic case because first appearances, preliminary hearings, misdemeanor settings, and traffic hearings may begin there. A felony may later move to District Court, and a municipal ticket may never appear on the Ninth District docket pages. Check the citation, summons, or notice to confirm the correct court before relying on a public schedule.

The Magistrate Court docket source is the specific Roosevelt County Magistrate schedule page.

That Magistrate docket is useful for near-term hearings, but the full Magistrate case record still comes from the court record channels.

Roosevelt County Docket Details

The research did not capture a sample line-by-line docket entry from the static District or Magistrate docket pages, and the official pages do not present public search fields. The important confirmed rule is the access limit: current day plus six days, no visible filters in the static content captured, and instructions to contact the court if a hearing cannot be found.

Courts With Roosevelt County Dockets

Roosevelt County docket access follows the court structure. District Court and Magistrate Court appear through Ninth Judicial District web pages. Portales Municipal Court is local to the city and should be contacted directly for city traffic, petty misdemeanor, DWI/DUI, and ordinance matters. County Probate Court and County Clerk records are separate from the Ninth District docket schedule.

Portales Municipal Court is at 520 W Second St. Judge George's court hours are Monday through Thursday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., while the administrative office is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The court and administrative offices are closed Fridays and holidays. That Friday closure is a practical docket detail for municipal traffic and ordinance matters.

Dockets vs Roosevelt County Records

A docket can tell a user when something is set. A full court record explains what was filed, what the judge ordered, and how the case was resolved. In Roosevelt County, the difference is especially important because the public docket pages are short-window hearing schedules. A person looking for a judgment and sentence, divorce decree, child-support worksheet, complaint, motion, order, or notice of hearing should use court record access, not just the docket page.

For full file detail, use Roosevelt County court records channels after checking the docket. That is the better route when the question is about filings or disposition rather than hearing timing.

Confirm Roosevelt County Hearings

Confirm directly with the issuing court when a hearing is missing, when the online page conflicts with a notice, or when a party needs accessibility, interpreter, remote hearing, or department information. The Roosevelt County District Court phone tree includes options for Jury, Criminal, Domestic Matters or Child Support, Juvenile, Civil or Probate, DV, and General Info. Magistrate and Municipal Court use separate phone numbers and addresses.

For a hearing tied to a recent arrest, traffic stop, or missed appearance, the court named on the summons or citation should control the first call. A Magistrate Court traffic or misdemeanor matter may not be on the District Court docket, and a Portales Municipal traffic camera or ordinance case may not appear on either Ninth District docket page. If a bench warrant or failure-to-appear issue is suspected, confirm the court setting first, then contact the sheriff or dispatch only for law-enforcement warrant or custody concerns.
