IMPORTANT NOTICE – The district clerk’s website has been displaying INCOMPLETE INFORMATION since July 5, 2020. The Online Dockets tab (faulty since July 5, 2020) and the Criminal Disposed Cases tab (faulty since November 19, 2020) from which I gather my blog information are BOTH providing only PARTIAL DATA. On July 5, 2020 and November 23, 2020 I submitted a work order for them to fix the problems, but to no avail. I apologize if I missed any information due to their inability to correct the issue.
