How the Moore County Court Calendar Works
Moore County posts no public daily or weekly court calendar. So the practical calendar is case-based. A current signed order or notice comes first, then the newest docket entry. Clerk case information comes next. The court coordinator or administrator for the responsible court can then confirm any setting. A posted list or portal date helps. But it should never outrank a newer order.
Schedules are split across several courts. They include the 69th District Court, County Court at Law, the constitutional County Court, the justice courts, and the municipal courts. The same date can carry different dockets in different rooms. County holiday notices and Commissioners' Court calendars are not case calendars. Weather or closure news alone does not prove a hearing moved.
Moore County Calendar Fallback
With no daily calendar published, work from the notice, citation, cause number, or last filed setting to identify the court. If the case type is covered, search Moore County LGS for index information. Guest Login shows the free index. More Information can provide case detail. Moore County offers no separate date search. There is no stated refresh schedule and no public archive of old settings.
No date online? A missing portal result is not proof that no hearing exists. Call the court that owns the case and give the cause number, case style, and setting type.
The statewide re:SearchTX portal is a second route. Its access page has been unreliable, and Moore County coverage is not assured. Treat it as a cross-check only, never as a guaranteed Moore County court schedule.
Moore County Court Date Lookups
Use every channel that applies. The court named on the paper controls which clerk or coordinator can give a sound answer about a Moore County court date. Keep the cause number and case style at hand. For an attorney-represented matter, counsel should also hold the current order or notice.
- Read the newest signed setting order, notice, citation, or docket entry.
- Search Moore County LGS by the offered office and record-type fields, then open More Information.
- Try re:SearchTX as a statewide cross-check without assuming complete Moore coverage.
- Call the District Court administrator at 806-935-2700 or the County Court at Law coordinator at 806-935-2440 when that court owns the setting.
- For record details, call the District Clerk at 806-935-4218 or County Clerk at 806-935-2009 or 806-935-6164.
- Visit the correct clerk counter or ask whether a current courtroom posting or docket call is available.
- Compare each source and confirm the date, time, room, judge, setting type, and in-person or remote status.
District Clerk service sits in Room 109. County Clerk service is in Room 107 at 715 S Dumas Avenue. A written or web request should state the court. It should also give the cause number, the exact record or setting sought, the date range, and contact details. The clerk forms collect a name, email, phone, reason, and reCAPTCHA. So place the case details in the reason field or provide them in follow-up.
Moore County CCL Setting Calls
The county home page points callers with upcoming County Court at Law docket questions to the coordinator at 806-935-2440. Patsy Ortega handles settings from Room 206. Under the local rules, a formal setting request must state an estimated duration. It goes to the court administrator and copies opposing counsel and the clerk. The published fax is 806-935-5102, and the listed email is portega@moore-tx.com.
Call her when a portal line is unclear. The same holds if a setting has moved or a confirmation order is still in progress. The coordinator runs the scheduling conversation. The clerk still owns the filed docket. That split matters when one caller needs a current hearing time and another needs a certified copy of the order that set it.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Match each Moore County court schedule entry to the case. Then check the court and the most recent order. The public calendar display follows standard fields. Those come from the local rules and official court pages. A "setting type" names the event. Examples include a motion hearing, docket call, pretrial, bench trial, jury trial, reset, or remote hearing. The label tells you what the court has planned, not what happened.
| Date | The scheduled day; verify that the entry is current and not a prior setting retained in history. |
|---|---|
| Time | The individual hearing time or docket-call time, which can differ from juror reporting. |
| Courtroom | The assigned room, such as CCL Room 206 or District Court Room 302, when stated. |
| Judge | The court or presiding judicial officer tied to that setting. |
| Setting type | Docket call, motion, pretrial, bench trial, jury trial, continuance, reset, or remote hearing. |
| Status | Current, reset, continued, cancelled, or another status if the entry or clerk confirms it. |
Moore County does not publish its exact status codes. So read the full text of the entry or ask the clerk. Never guess at an unfamiliar abbreviation.
Moore County Calendar Jury Weeks
The County Court at Law local rules set a steady jury-week rhythm. Jury weeks begin on a Monday unless that day is a court holiday. Jurors report at 9:00 a.m. Lawyers handle docket call and announcements at 8:30 a.m. That holds unless a notice says otherwise. Those are different events for different audiences, so check which one involves you.
Rule-based times never override the order in a specific case. A court holiday can shift the start, and an individual notice may state a different time. Rely on the newest case paper and confirm with the coordinator.
When a Court Date Moves
A continuance pushes a setting out. A reset puts the matter on a fresh date. Under Moore County Court at Law practice, a continuance request has to be written and signed. It must state a detailed reason. It must also carry the client's signature or counsel's certification that a copy went to the client by mail. The request alone proves nothing about the date. What counts is the signed order or a confirmed new docket entry.
Settlements work differently. If a case settles, or a hearing is simply not needed anymore, local rules call for immediate notice to the court. That can strip a setting off the calendar. Yet an older date may linger in the docket history. So confirm the newest status before relying on any single entry. The Moore County docket search can locate the case. But when two entries conflict, the clerk or coordinator is the authority that settles it.
Moore County Ten-Day Settings
A County Court at Law setting can slip away even after a time was discussed. Local rules say that a confirmation letter or an order setting the case must be filed within ten days. If it is not, the setting time is vacated. Ten days, filed, or it is gone. A phone call or a requested slot is therefore not always the final calendar event.
Check the docket for the filed confirmation first. Then ask whether the time is still being held. This is one reason a search-result date and a coordinator's current answer can differ. It also shows why the docket entry behind the request matters more than any note a party keeps for itself.
Moore County Calendar Remote Hearings
The County Court at Law publishes Remote Hearing Orders. Its local rules cover lawyer conduct on Zoom. A remote marker on the docket does not keep an old meeting link alive. Before the setting, confirm the governing order with the coordinator. Confirm the link, the time, and the access steps too.
The same caution applies to switching between in-person and remote formats. Never guess from how a past hearing ran. The active order controls. If the technology fails you, contact the court promptly using the information in that order. Note your attempt.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Miss a Moore County court setting? Act right away. Read the docket for any new entry. Call the clerk or coordinator for current status. Contact your lawyer if you have one. Ask whether the judge signed an order, reset the matter, or did something else. Do not just show up at a later docket without instructions.
Missed a setting? Consequences depend on the case and court and may include an adverse order or another court action.
Call the record-owning clerk or setting coordinator now, give the cause number, and ask what the current docket shows.
A licensed attorney can advise on the proper response; court staff can give schedule and record information but not legal advice.
For justice or municipal cases, call the court named on the citation or notice. JP1 is 806-935-3920, while JP2 and Sunray use 806-948-5362. Dumas Municipal Court sits at 806-935-3158, and Cactus Municipal Court at 806-966-5458. A payment portal is not a court calendar.
Moore County JP Schedule Checks
Justice court runs on its own clock. It sits apart from the Moore County district court calendar. Small claims, evictions, and traffic tickets set for JP court get hearing dates that only the justice court can confirm. For Precinct 2, the JP Precinct 2 page lists the Sunray office contact, its forms, and a way to pay. Nothing there adds up to a countywide hearing calendar. Call the office before you count on any listed date.
The county's own JP2 page shows the contact details and payment route for anyone tracking a Moore County docket in justice court.
Use whatever office your case papers show. Ask the clerk for the current date, the hearing type, how you are to appear, and any signed reset. A payment link never proves the next setting.
