Copies, certified records, and older case files

If you need documents instead of a docket entry or case summary, the District Clerk provides a copy request process. Older files may take up to 72 hours, depending on the size of the request, and not all files are already scanned or kept in the building.

• Case number.
• Name of the party on the case.
• Name of the person requesting the copies.
• Phone number for the request.
• Year filed or a filing range for an older case.
