Randall County Court Records Search: Official Clerk, JP, Municipal, Texas Appeal & PACER Routes
Use this guide to find the right official route for Randall County, Texas court records, including felony, misdemeanor, civil, family, probate, justice court, municipal citation, appellate, federal district, and bankruptcy matters.
Public-Court-Records.us is independent. This website is not Randall County, the Randall County District Clerk, the Randall County Clerk, a Texas court, a municipal court, a law firm, a government agency, PACER, or a Consumer Reporting Agency. This page is general information only and is not legal advice.
Responsible-use warning: a matching name does not prove identity. An arrest, complaint, charge, citation, lawsuit, indictment, petition, or docket entry does not prove guilt or liability. Do not use this guide for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, licensing, or other FCRA-regulated screening decisions.
Randall County court records are split by court and custodian
Randall County’s official services page links to a public judicial-record portal for court-record access. But the correct custodian still matters: district court records usually route through the District Clerk, while county court, misdemeanor, probate, and recorded public records usually route through the County Clerk.
Justice of the Peace and municipal citations can be separate. Amarillo and Canyon Municipal Court matters may not be solved by searching the county clerk alone. Federal district and bankruptcy cases are outside the county system and must be searched through PACER or the correct federal court.
Randall County lists the 47th, 181st, and 251st District Courts at the Justice Center in Canyon.
County Court at Law No. 1 and No. 2 are located at 2309 Russell Long Boulevard.
The District Clerk states that a $5.00 research fee is added when the office researches cases.
Randall County is within the Seventh Court of Appeals district in Amarillo for many state appeals.
Randall County court record route finder
Select the record type. This helper runs in your browser and does not ask for names, case numbers, citation numbers, dates of birth, addresses, or payment details.
Felony records generally route through the District Clerk and the district courts. Use the cause number when possible, and contact the felony clerk route if you need a certified disposition or cost information.
Choose the correct Randall County court or record system
Do not assume every record is in one online search. Use the court type and case-number clues to decide which office can verify, copy, certify, or explain the record.
| Need | Likely custodian / system | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Felony criminal case | District Clerk / 47th, 181st, or 251st District Court | Use the public-access court portal when available, then contact District Clerk Civil & Criminal at 806-468-5600 for copies, certified records, or current costs. |
| District civil, tax, or higher-level civil matter | District Clerk | Search by cause number when possible. District civil case-number endings may include A, B, C, L1, or L2 according to the District Clerk payment page. |
| Divorce, family, child support, or protective-order case | District Clerk / district courts | Use the District Clerk route. Expect privacy limits for sensitive family materials and contact the clerk for certified decrees or restricted document access. |
| County misdemeanor case | County Clerk / County Courts at Law | Use the county court record route. County Clerk payment guidance refers to criminal cases ending in 1, 2, or L. |
| County civil case | County Clerk / County Courts at Law | Use the County Clerk or public-access route. County Clerk payment guidance refers to civil cases ending in CV or C2. |
| Probate or guardianship record | County Clerk / probate department | Contact the County Clerk or Probate department. Guardianship and mental-health records can have privacy restrictions. |
| Small claims, debt claim, eviction, repair-and-remedy case | Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, 4, or 4A | Use the correct JP precinct. Randall JP civil pages describe small claims, debt claims, eviction, and repair-and-remedy categories. |
| Class C or JP traffic citation | Justice of the Peace court listed on the citation | Read the citation. JP phone calls are not treated as appearances, and juveniles generally must appear with a parent or legal guardian. |
| City of Amarillo or City of Canyon citation | Amarillo Municipal Court or Canyon Municipal Court | Use the city municipal court named on the citation. Municipal courts are separate from the county clerk and district clerk. |
| Deed, lien, marriage record, assumed name, recorded instrument | County Clerk official public records / Tyler county-records portal | Use Official Public Records Access, not the judicial case portal. Recorded documents are different from court dockets. |
| Appeal from Randall County trial court | Seventh Court of Appeals / Texas appellate resources | Use the appellate court route and compare the trial court cause number. Trial and appellate dockets are separate systems. |
| Federal civil, criminal, or bankruptcy case | Northern District of Texas / Bankruptcy Court / PACER | Use PACER. Randall County federal district venue is in the Northern District of Texas Amarillo Division; bankruptcy is handled by the Northern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court. |
How to use Randall County’s official public court-record access without confusion
Randall County links to an official online judicial-record portal from its services and clerk pages. The portal is hosted on a Tyler Technologies domain. The county is the record custodian; the vendor portal is the online access platform.
Use randallcounty.gov or the county’s Services page, then open “Public Access to Randall County Court Records.” This helps avoid commercial look-alike sites.
The County Clerk portal disclaimer explains that online information is provided as a public service, is not certified, and may contain errors or omissions.
A case number is safer than a name-only search and may avoid unnecessary staff research fees.
The official Tyler disclaimer advises searching possible spelling variations and other criteria to maximize results.
Check court, division, cause number, party role, filing date, case type, docket activity, and later entries before assuming a match.
An online docket or image is not the same as a certified copy. Request certification from the District Clerk, County Clerk, JP court, municipal court, appellate court, or federal court that maintains the original file.

Where Randall County appeals, federal cases, and bankruptcy records go
Trial-court records, appellate records, and federal court records live in different systems. Use the trial court cause number to connect them, but do not assume the county portal contains the complete appeal or federal docket.
Randall County is served by the Seventh Court of Appeals in Amarillo for many intermediate appellate matters. The court’s office is in the Potter County Courts Building.
The Northern District of Texas venue tool identifies Randall County as part of the Amarillo Division. Use PACER or the federal district court route for federal civil or criminal dockets.
Bankruptcy is federal. Use the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas and PACER. Do not search county civil court for bankruptcy records.
| Record type | Official route | Important caution |
|---|---|---|
| Appeal from a Randall County trial case | Seventh Court of Appeals or Texas appellate search tools | Compare the trial court cause number and appellate case number. Contact the appellate clerk if online information is incomplete. |
| Federal civil or criminal case | Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division / PACER | Federal records are not county court records and will not be certified by the Randall County Clerk. |
| Bankruptcy case | U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas / PACER | Bankruptcy documents, claims registers, and bankruptcy dockets are federal records. |
| Unknown federal court | PACER Case Locator | For the most current docket, use the specific federal court after identifying it. |
What to do if a Randall County court-record search returns no result

How to read Randall County docket fields without over-interpreting them
A docket is a timeline of case activity. It may not show every document image, and a docket entry may not fully explain the legal outcome. Use neutral language and verify the final disposition with the correct clerk.
Plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, appellant, appellee, debtor, creditor, decedent, guardian, ward, and personal representative are legal roles. A person’s appearance in a case does not always mean wrongdoing.
Complaint, petition, citation, summons, motion, notice, order, setting, hearing, judgment, plea, sentence, dismissal, and satisfaction can appear in dockets. Read later entries before drawing conclusions.
Pending, disposed, dismissed, closed, reopened, stayed, or judgment entered can mean different things depending on the court and case type. Ask the clerk if the status matters for official use.
Use Randall County court records carefully
- Do not identify a person from a common name alone.
- Compare court, case number, filing date, party role, docket activity, and lawful identifiers.
- Do not assume an arrest, charge, complaint, or citation is a conviction.
- Do not assume a civil judgment shows current payment status without checking later entries or satisfactions.
- Do not harass, threaten, shame, or retaliate against anyone.
- Do not publish children’s names, addresses, protected health details, or unnecessary sensitive information.
- Do not bypass sealed, expunged, juvenile, or confidential restrictions.
- Contact the official custodian for corrections, sealing, expungement, and certified-copy needs.
Frequently asked questions about Randall County court records
What is the official way to search Randall County court records online?
Start with Randall County’s official Public Access to Court Records link from randallcounty.gov. Use the online judicial records portal for available court records, then contact the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice Court, or municipal court that actually maintains the file when you need a certified copy or a record that is not available online.
Which office keeps Randall County felony records?
Felony court records generally route through the Randall County District Clerk and the district courts. The District Clerk page lists District Clerk Civil and Criminal contact information and warns that criminal court costs, fees, and fines may not be accurate from online viewing.
Which office keeps Randall County misdemeanor records?
Many county-level misdemeanor records route through the Randall County Clerk and County Courts at Law. The County Clerk’s payment page describes criminal cases ending in 1, 2, or L under County Clerk court services. Justice Court and municipal Class C matters may be separate.
Can I search Randall County court records by name?
Online and clerk searches may allow name searching, but a name match alone is not proof of identity. Compare the case number, court, filing date, party role, case category, docket entries, and other lawful identifiers before assuming a result belongs to a specific person or business.
Does the Texas Judicial Branch provide one statewide trial-court search?
No. The Texas Judicial Branch explains that its website does not have a single portal for trial-court case searches. For district and county court cases, users generally contact the district clerk or county clerk in the county where the case was filed.
How much does Randall County District Clerk research cost?
The Randall County District Clerk page states that a $5.00 research fee is added when the District Clerk’s office researches cases. You can reduce confusion by finding the cause number online before requesting staff help.
Where do I search Randall County Justice Court cases?

Where do I search Amarillo or Canyon municipal citations?
Use the city municipal court, not the county clerk, when the citation is from Amarillo Municipal Court or Canyon Municipal Court. Amarillo Municipal Court provides citation, warrant, docket, and payment information; Canyon Municipal Court handles Class C citations within Canyon and has its own payment and appearance instructions.
Where do Randall County appeals go?
Randall County is served by the Seventh Court of Appeals in Amarillo for many Texas intermediate appellate matters. Trial-court and appellate dockets are separate, so compare the trial court cause number and contact the appellate clerk when needed.
