View Motley County Court Calendar

The Motley County Court Calendar

The county publishes no readable, recurring calendar archive on its own pages. That applies to County Court and to District Court alike. That makes the County and District Clerk the main local source for any setting at either level. One office serves both courts. They are still separate courts. So ask which one owns the file before you ask for its docket.

What a calendar shows is scheduling, plain and simple. Expect a date, a time, a place, a hearing type, and maybe a status. The docket can keep an old event even after a reset. None of that proves what happened in court. For a real outcome, pull the later order, plea, or judgment. Confirm it with the clerk. The gap matters when a motion setting gets read as a trial. It also matters when a planned plea gets read as a done deal.

Motley County Calendar Sources

Three routes can surface Motley County setting information. The clerk links iDocket, a vendor whose own description covers calendars among its case functions. What you can see there depends on the court. It also depends on the record type and any registration or subscription. The statewide re:SearchTX portal offers a Hearings function plus a hearing-detail view, per its official quick guide. Login rules apply. Local integration and limits on sensitive documents make it a second route rather than a master calendar.

When neither portal shows your setting, go straight to the clerk. Call, visit the counter, or mail a precise request. The clerk page lists 701 Main and Dundee, P.O. Box 660, Matador, Texas 79244, and (806) 347-2621. Weekday hours run 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. That noon closure can sink a same-day counter check, so plan around it.

Note: iDocket is an independent vendor. Confirm any current Motley County calendar entry with the clerk that holds the case.

How to Find Your Court Date

Lead with the case number if you have one. It cuts down false matches and helps staff tell County Court apart from District Court. No number handy? Give party names, the rough filing year, the case type, and the court you expect. Then work each channel that fits.

1. Open iDocket through the official clerk page. Select Motley County or Motley District, search the case, and look for a calendar or next-setting field.
2. Check re:SearchTX with an account or eFileTexas credentials. Use Hearings and narrow by case number, party, location, category, or type where available.
3. Call the clerk at (806) 347-2621, visit the counter during posted hours, or mail P.O. Box 660. Ask for a current setting sheet for a defined range.
4. For a JP matter, call the Justice of the Peace at (806) 347-2204. Posted hours are weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
5. For a city citation, contact Matador or Roaring Springs and ask which court holds the setting. No public municipal calendar portal was located.
6. Ask counsel, if the party has counsel, and check any courthouse posting that day. No daily printed calendar was documented online, so call first.

Motley County District Settings

The 110th District Court covers Briscoe, Dickens, Floyd, and Motley Counties. The Texas trial-court overview explains the district role. The OCA directory puts the court's primary location in Floydada. That multi-county footprint shapes scheduling. A Motley filing still runs through the local clerk. But the setting may follow the district judge's schedule or a place named in the notice.

Never guess the hearing site from the clerk's mailing address. Ask whether the event sits in Matador, Floydada, another stated place, or a remote format. Confirm the room, check-in time, rules for observers, and any remote instructions. Also ask what the listing actually is. Is it docket call, jury selection, motion hearing, pretrial, plea, probate hearing, or trial? Those labels describe very different events.

Reading a Motley County Setting

No individual Motley County calendar sample belongs in a public inventory like this. What follows sticks to the plain, non-sensitive labels documented in the portal guide. No party, case, date, room, or judge value here is invented.

Any captured entry should keep its source URL and retrieval date. Values protected under Rule 21c must come out, including government ID numbers, financial data, birth dates, protected addresses, and minor information.

Motley County Calendar Terms

Short labels can carry more weight than they seem to. Read each entry in context, and ask the clerk how that court uses a term.

Docket call

A setting at which cases may be called for readiness or scheduling.

Setting

A planned court event. It is not proof that the event occurred.

Continuance

A change that moves a hearing or trial to a later date.

Reset

A new setting date. The old entry may remain in the chronology.

Disposition

A case or charge result, which differs from a calendar event.

Event labels run short, and courts coin their own. A lone "hearing" tag never says which motion or issue is up. A "trial" entry can still change before the date arrives. When the exact purpose matters, request the related notice or order. Then check the live status with the office.

Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations

Report a moved Motley County calendar entry with care. Keep both the original date and the current one. Do that only when the source labels them that way. A listing that vanishes proves nothing about cancellation or dismissal. The case may have moved, the portal may have changed, or public display may lag behind the clerk's system.

Confirm any change through the office that holds the case. Give the case number, the old date, the new date if shown, and the event type. Ask whether an order or notice changed the setting. Ask whether new appearance instructions went out too. Counsel can sort out what a notice requires. Remember that a portal screen only proves what was displayed at one moment. It does not prove that court will convene as shown.

Note: A login barrier, a blank field, or a missing Motley County calendar result is an access state. It is not proof that no setting exists.

Reports Are Not Court Calendars

Not every date on the county site is a hearing. Election notices and polling places are civic events, not court settings. The clerk posts other reports too: appointment lists, fee reports, and no-activity summaries. One example is a County Court “No Activity Report - All” for August 2025. It was prepared September 2, 2025. That is an administrative snapshot covering one period. It is not a daily Motley County court docket. And it does not prove every court ran empty.

The OCA activity database adds aggregate counts by court, county, and period. Those numbers measure workload. They will not tell a party when a hearing is set. For a real setting, go back to iDocket, re:SearchTX Hearings, or the clerk handling the case. A Motley County case search can pin down the right file before you ask for a date.

Motley County Hearing Checks

Getting the date is only half the job. Confirm which court, what type of event, and where it happens. Ask for the start or check-in time and whether the public may attend. If a remote option exists, find out how access is issued. The court does not publish a standing remote-hearing program. So assume no platform or link until staff confirms one.

City business needs a separate check. Matador's government calendar is not a court calendar. Roaring Springs City Hall serving as an election polling place says nothing about hearings held there. Call the city and identify the issuing court. For the JP, use its separate phone and morning-only hours. These steps keep a courthouse address, a city meeting, an election date, and a judicial setting apart. Otherwise they can blur into one false schedule.

What To Do If You Miss a Setting

Act quickly, but skip the guesswork. Call the clerk or court named on the notice. Have your case number, the missed date, and the type of setting ready. Ask what the docket shows now and whether a new notice or order has issued. If you have a lawyer, contact counsel as well. The right next step turns on the court and the case. Staff cannot be counted on to give legal advice.
