Lookup Weld County Court Dockets

Weld County Court Dockets

A court docket is the schedule and activity track for a case. In Weld County, the public docket search is used to find hearing dates, case numbers, case class codes, court type, party names, attorney information, and basic scheduling data. It is most useful when a person needs to know whether a case is set in District Court, County Court, or a courthouse division.

A docket is narrower than a full case file. The docket can tell a user that a hearing exists or that a case has a scheduled event. It usually does not provide the pleading, order, exhibit, divorce decree, sentence order, or certified copy. For those records, the user must use the Colorado Judicial Branch record request form or contact the Weld County Combined Courts.

Find Weld County Dockets Online

Weld County court dockets are searched through the Colorado Judicial Branch Docket Search. For Weld County, use the 19th Judicial District, Weld County, or Weld County Courthouse as the location filter. The form can search District Court and County Court dockets, and it requires at least one filter in addition to the date range.

The research identifies a clear search path for Weld County court dockets. Use District Court for felony, civil, domestic relations, juvenile, probate, mental health, and water matters. Use County Court for misdemeanors, traffic infractions, small claims, and lower-value civil matters. Municipal court dockets may require a city-specific court route rather than the state docket form.

1. Open the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search page.
2. Select 19th Judicial District, Weld County, or Weld County Courthouse.
3. Choose Both, County, or District as the court type.
4. Select a date range, then add a case number, party name, business name, attorney name, or attorney bar number.
5. Use Find Dockets to view available settings, or Clear Results to restart the search.

Weld County Docket Fields

The Weld County court docket form uses a mix of location, date, case, party, and attorney fields. Case number searches are useful when the summons or notice already lists the court's identifier. Name searches help when the case number is unknown, but common names can return multiple matches. Attorney searches can use either a name or a Colorado bar number.

Weld County Courts With Dockets

Colorado's court hierarchy matters because Weld County court dockets are not all in one local city system. Weld County is the entire 19th Judicial District. That means state District Court and County Court cases are both Weld-specific in the state court system. The Colorado Supreme Court and Court of Appeals are appellate courts and are not the first place to search for a trial-level Weld docket.

Municipal courts are separate. Greeley, Frederick, Fort Lupton, Lochbuie, and other local courts may handle city ordinance and city traffic matters. If a citation or summons was issued by a municipal court, the docket or payment lookup may be on the city's court page rather than the state District Court or County Court docket search.

• District Court: felony, civil, domestic relations, juvenile, probate, mental health, and water matters.
• County Court: misdemeanors, traffic infractions, small claims, and limited civil cases.
• Municipal Court: city ordinance and some city traffic cases.
• Water Court: Colorado water matters tied to Division 1 Water Court functions.

Docket vs Case Record

A Weld County docket is the activity list or calendar view. A case record is the broader file. The difference matters when a user needs proof for an employer, school, licensing board, agency, or another court. A docket may show that a case exists and has a hearing, but it may not show the document text or the certified outcome.

Read Weld County Dockets

Weld County docket results rely on case class codes. CR is commonly used for felony criminal cases, M for misdemeanor, T for traffic, CV for civil, DR for domestic relations, JV and JD for juvenile matters, PR for probate, CW for water, and S for small claims. The search form exposes these codes, so users should treat them as filters shown by the court rather than broad legal labels for every document in the case.

Names and dates need care. A docket result may use party names, business names, attorney information, a case file date, scheduled events, and a court or division assignment. The court-specific assignment should still be checked through the summons, notice, or official docket result because hearings may route by courtroom, division, or court campus building.

Weld County Docket Copies

When a docket search confirms the case but not the needed document, use the Colorado Judicial Branch record and document request form. The form accepts requester contact data, case number if known, case type, year filed, county or location of records, date of birth if known, party information, and document choices for family, criminal, civil, probate, or other records.

The research lists court document request fees of $0.25 per page, $20 for certified or exemplified records, $5 for a name search, and $30 per hour for research or redaction after the first hour. The ordinary response target is three business days unless there are extenuating circumstances. Some files, including suppressed cases, juvenile and probate records, and confidential or protected documents, may require government photo ID.

Weld County Docket Help

For state court docket questions, contact Weld County Combined Courts at 970-475-2400. The court campus includes the Weld County Courthouse at 901 9th Avenue, Plaza West at 910 10th Avenue, and the Weld County Centennial Center at 915 10th Street in Greeley. The Centennial Center Clerk's Office is listed Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the court states that clerk windows close promptly at 4:00 p.m.

The Weld County judges and staff page lists Brenda Palm as Clerk of Court. Sheriff Steve Reams is listed on the Weld County Sheriff's Office command staff page, but sheriff records are separate from Weld County court dockets. Arrest reports, warrants, and jail records use sheriff channels, while case settings use court channels.

For municipal docket questions, use the city court that issued the citation or summons. Greeley Municipal Court handles municipal, traffic, and parking matters. Frederick, Fort Lupton, and Lochbuie publish separate municipal court or fine-payment information. These city routes are important because municipal dockets can sit outside the state District Court and County Court docket search.
