Search Randall County Court Records by Case Number, Name, Court Type, or Clerk Office
Randall County court records are not all held by one counter. Felony, district civil and family records route through the District Clerk. County-level misdemeanor, probate and some civil records route through the County Clerk. Justice Court cases use the correct JP court. Online search is only the first step.
This guide shows exactly where to search, what to click inside the Randall County judicial records portal, which clerk to contact for copies, how to avoid paying the wrong court, and how to handle missing, sealed, old or certified court records.
Start with the real task
What Randall County Court Record Are You Trying to Find?
The fastest route depends on the record type. A felony case, divorce case, misdemeanor case, probate filing, small claim, eviction, traffic citation and certified copy request can involve different Randall County offices.
Start with Randall County’s public court-record portal. Search the full number first, then confirm the court, party name, case type and docket entries.
Use the District Clerk route. Randall County lists the District Clerk at 2309 Russell Long Boulevard, Suite 110, Canyon, with civil/criminal phone support at 806-468-5600.
Use the County Clerk route. Randall County lists the County Clerk at Suite 101 in the same Russell Long Boulevard justice complex, with phone support at 806-468-5505.
Use the correct Justice of the Peace court. JP records and payments are not the same as District Clerk or County Clerk cases.
Online search is not the same as a certified record. Identify the correct clerk first, then request the exact document and copy type.
Randall County warns that failure to pay the correct court can cause extra cost or a warrant. Confirm the court before paying online.
The case may be sealed, restricted, too old, under a different court, filed under another spelling, not indexed online, or held by another court system.
Do not treat every Randall court source as identical

For certified court copies, name the document

How to Read a Randall County Court Docket Without Misunderstanding It
A docket is a timeline. For criminal cases, do not stop at the arrest, complaint, indictment or charge. For civil cases, do not stop at the petition. Follow the case through later entries.
The strongest identifier. Use it when calling, paying, requesting copies or searching again later.
Confirm whether it is District Court, County Court at Law, County Court, JP court or another court.
Check whether the person is defendant, plaintiff, petitioner, respondent, applicant, minor, attorney or another role.
Read filing, service, hearing, motion, order, plea, trial, judgment, dismissal and compliance entries in sequence.
Verify hearing location, time and courtroom. Online calendar information can change.
Do not rely on online balances alone. Randall County warns criminal costs may not be accurate online.
When online viewing is not enough

Use the District Clerk. Ask whether the record is public, restricted or requires special access.

Use self-help carefully

No result does not always mean no case
Why a Randall County Court Record May Not Show Online
Wrong court or clerk
The record may belong to District Clerk, County Clerk, JP court, municipal court, state appellate court or federal court.
Try: Identify the court from paperwork before searching again.
Name spelling or party role issue
Middle names, suffixes, hyphens, maiden names, business names and aliases can affect results.
Try: Last name only, business name, partial name or case number.
Case is sealed or restricted
Juvenile, adoption, mental-health, family, protective-order and sealed matters may have limited public access.
Try: Contact the clerk and ask what access is legally available.
Old paper or archived record
Older records may not have complete online images or may require clerk research.
Try: Provide party names, date range and case type to the correct clerk.
Portal outage or limited document access
Public portals may show docket data without every scanned filing or certified document.
Try: Use the portal for the case number, then request documents from the clerk.
It is not a Randall County case
Amarillo-area cases can involve Potter County, municipal courts, federal court or another agency.
Try: Check the citation, arrest record, address, court notice or clerk stamp.

Randall County Public Information Act Request: When to Use It
Randall County designates Public Information Act request addresses under Government Code § 552.234. The county lists a mailing address at 2309 Russell Long Blvd., Suite 120, Canyon, Texas 79015, and the email address publicinfo@randallcounty.gov.
