Sunray Court Docket Searches
The city posts no online Sunray docket lookup. The state municipal directory lists none either. Your citation is the routing record, so copy everything on it: court name, citation or case number, issuing agency, charge, and appearance deadline. Call the Sunray Municipal Court clerk at 806-948-5362 with those details in hand. Still unsure which office you need? City Hall at 806-948-4111 can point you toward the right desk.
- Read the exact court name on the citation.
- Call 806-948-5362 for the municipal court or JP2 office.
- State the number, issue date, name, and appearance deadline.
- Ask whether the desired item is a docket status, plain copy, or certified disposition.
- Use the county portal only when the clerk confirms a county-held case.
Don't read a missing web result as a dismissal. A phone or counter request is the standard way in. Before hanging up, ask the clerk to repeat the court name and the setting so nothing gets mixed up.
Sunray Has No City Portal
The official Sunray website covers City Hall contacts, city news, and meeting minutes. It offers no case search, calendar, or payment page for municipal court. The JP2 county page carries a Certified Payments link. Never assume that link takes Sunray municipal citations. If a clerk hands you a payment site, check that the screen names the right court and case. Only then should you send money. A balance screen is not a full event record either. Here, a phone call is a real search channel. It is not a weak stand-in for a portal.
Sunray Official Contact Sources
The official Sunray home page is the city’s public starting point.
With no case-search feature anywhere on the site, calling first beats hunting for a lookup that does not exist. The Sunray City Hall contact page lists the address, phone, email, and office hours.
Those details give you a second routing channel when the shared municipal and JP2 contact leaves you unsure.
Inside the Sunray Municipal Court
The state municipal directory places Sunray Municipal Court at 116 E 5th, Sunray, Texas 79086. Mail goes to PO Box 834. Phone is 806-948-5362; fax is 806-948-0037. The directory names A. Britt Marquez as presiding judge. Confirm current personnel when you make a request. The court hears city ordinance matters and fine-only state-law violations. Felonies, general civil cases, probate, and county-level cases do not start there. Whatever court is named on the paper controls. That holds even if the conduct happened inside the city.
Sunray Municipal or JP2
Moore County's JP2 page lists the same 116 E 5th address. It also lists the same 806-948-5362 number. Shared contact details do not merge two courts. Sunray Municipal Court keeps city matters, while Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 keeps its own justice-court docket, forms, and payment route. When someone answers, ask which court holds your number. Say "municipal court case record" if that is what the paper names. Follow JP2 instructions if it says JP2. Paying the wrong way wastes time while your real deadline keeps running.
Finding Sunray Court Dates
Sunray posts no standalone municipal calendar. Start with the appearance date on the citation. Call the responsible court to check it. Ask what kind of setting it is: appearance deadline, docket call, plea, pretrial, trial, or compliance review. Confirm any changed date directly, and remember that a reset is not a dismissal.
| Date | The printed deadline or clerk-confirmed setting. |
|---|---|
| Time | The time supplied by the court; City Hall hours are not a court setting. |
| Location | 116 E 5th unless the clerk gives another place. |
| Court | Sunray Municipal Court or Moore County JP2, stated exactly. |
| Setting Type | Appearance, plea, pretrial, trial, compliance, or another label. |
Sunray Call-First Record Route
City Hall sits at 415 Main Street. It is open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Phone is 806-948-4111, fax is 806-948-4485, and email is cityhall@cityofsunray.com. Those channels help route a request, but the after-hours number should not be presumed to serve court records. For a case record, call the municipal/JP2 number first. Ask for the public index, current setting, plain copy, or certified disposition by name. The city publishes no fee schedule. Ask about current charges, payment methods, delivery options, and turnaround.
Sunray Traffic Ticket Lookups
Check a Sunray city citation through the municipal clerk. A county or state ticket may route to JP2 or another court instead. The issuing agency and location help, but the printed court name is the stronger clue. When you call, give the full number and appearance deadline. Never pay through an unidentified link. Ask about plea options, contesting, trial, defensive driving or deferred disposition. Also ask about required documents and local costs. For how these venue lines work across the county, see Moore County traffic court records.
Sunray Pending Case Context
The Office of Court Administration reports FY 2025 municipal criminal activity for Sunray. The year opened with 1,763 matters pending. Another 78 were added and 5 reactivated. The court disposed of 72, held 26 inactive, and closed the year with 1,748 still pending.
The Texas Demographic Center counted 1,707 residents in the 2020 Census. So a pending tally that large is not a census of who lives there now. It reflects accumulated case records over time. And the municipal "criminal" label covers fine-only, violation-level work, not felonies.
How Sunray Cases Reach the County
Sunray Municipal Court keeps ordinance violations and fine-only state cases. Those stay with the city to the very end of the city process. Want a county-level docket instead? Texas law allows an appeal up in some situations. A JP2 case, though, stays a justice-court matter from start to finish. The right appeal path turns on case type. It also turns on whether the court sits as a court of record. So get the clerk's instructions before you file anything.
Docket flow: Sunray Municipal Court › Moore County Courts › District Court
Not every Sunray case stays at City Hall. Felonies and general civil matters belong in the county or district court of the proper county. The Moore County court docket overview shows which office keeps each type of file, so a municipal search never turns into a countywide hunt for one name.
Sunray Minutes Are Not Dockets
Sunray puts its civic life online, not its court cases. The official city archive posts recent meeting minutes. Older minutes are available through City Hall. Council business and city administration fill those pages. What they never contain is a citation's charge, plea, fine, hearing, or disposition.
So the wording of a records request matters. Ask only for "city records" and staff may route you far too broadly. Instead say "Sunray Municipal Court case record." Include the case number. Name the exact item you want. That precision counts here. The city gives civic documents online but offers no public municipal case portal.
Sunray Records Request Checklist
A precise request helps the shared office. It steers them to a Sunray municipal file rather than a JP2 file. Write the court name exactly as printed. List the citation or cause number, the issue date, and the issuing agency. Add the person named in the case and a tight date range. Then state what result you want. That may be a current setting, a public docket or index, a signed disposition, a plain copy, or a certified copy. Those specific terms keep a vague "city records" ask from landing in the meeting-minutes archive.
Ask the office how it accepts requests and payment. A phone, fax, mailing address, and physical address are all published. Not every document can travel every channel, though. Confirm the current fee and turnaround before you rely on them. If the office calls something sealed, confidential, or redacted, ask which access rule controls. Also ask whether a public docket entry still exists. Leave City Hall's after-hours line out of it. That line has no records function assigned to it.
For a court date, read the month, day, year, time, court, and location back to the clerk. Ask whether you must appear in person or whether the case allows another method. If the case was reset, get the new setting and write down who gave it to you. A payment receipt, a council minute, or a county portal result is no substitute for that confirmation. Since Sunray posts no public calendar, careful notes on each call pay off.
Sunray Clerk Confirmation Notes
Log every contact in a few lines. Note the date, the office, the court identified, the number searched, and the answer given. Keep the original citation and any written setting notice. When the shared phone line bounces a call between municipal court and JP2, note which clerk finally claimed the file. For mail, confirm the correct PO box and whether payment must ride along. For fax or email, ask whether that channel works for your specific request. Published contact details show how to reach Sunray offices. But they do not create a filing method or extend an appearance deadline by themselves.
Federal Records Beyond Sunray
Federal filings live somewhere else entirely. Sunray Municipal Court, JP2, and the Moore County clerks do not hold them, so a Moore County docket search will never turn up a federal case. The official PACER pricing page lays out how that federal access system works and what it charges."]},{
A federal case belongs to a different system. That route works only for filings in United States court, so keep a Sunray traffic citation out of it.
Who Can See Sunray Court Records
Much of what the Sunray Municipal Court keeps is public. You can ask for it. Some things stay off the open shelf, though. Sealed files, juvenile matters, and confidential or protected material may be withheld or redacted before you see them. Start by naming the right court. Then hand over the case number, the date range, and the type of document you want. It also helps to ask what form the record comes in. Inspection, a plain copy, and a certified copy are three different things.
Key rules: Judicial case records and court administrative records do not share one simple request law.
The Texas Judicial Branch open-records policy explains Rule 12 and the judiciary’s relationship to the Texas Public Information Act.
Ask the Sunray clerk which access rule controls the requested item.
The city posts no municipal search form, no public calendar, and no sample Sunray docket. Exact copy fees and current court hours are not published either, so call before you go. That call matters most of all because the municipal court and JP2 share contact details.
