The Ochiltree County Court Calendar
The main public district calendar is the Daily Docket for the 84th Judicial District Court. It serves Ochiltree, Hansford, and Hutchinson Counties. Knowing the county matters here. The docket gives you scheduled events only. So it will not show every filing, order, or older entry sitting in the clerk's register.
Ochiltree County posts no single calendar covering all of its courts. District settings run through the 84th Court route. County Court matters go through the County Clerk. Justice Court dates go through the Justice office. Municipal cases run through Perryton or Booker. Your citation or notice should name the correct court. That is where a docket search should begin.
Ochiltree Daily Docket Online
The 84th Court calendar page hosts two tools. One is a Google Calendar embed titled "84th Court Daily Docket." The other is a hearing-request form for asking staff to set an event. They are easy to confuse. The embed shows the public schedule; the form does not.
The public Google Calendar source displays the Daily Docket view.
An entry on the Daily Docket is schedule data, nothing more. Seeing an event listed tells you neither what the judge ordered nor how the case ended.
How to Find Your Court Date
Work the channels in order. The online calendar is the fastest check, but a call to the clerk guards against resets, cancellations, data delays, and wrong-county matches. Keep the notice in hand, since its cause number, court, and courtroom details are what separate similar settings from each other.
- Read the court name, county, cause number, and date on the newest notice.
- For a district matter, check the 84th Court Daily Docket.
- Try re:SearchTX Hearings for eligible statewide setting data.
- Call the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice Court, or municipal clerk as appropriate.
- Visit the responsible counter if online or phone confirmation is not enough.
- Check any daily printed list posted by the court on arrival.
District Clerk Shawn Bogard: (806) 435-8054. County Clerk Sandra I. Limas publishes (806) 435-8039, and the Justice Court lists (806) 435-8020. All three offices sit in the county courthouse at 511 S. Main Street in Perryton.
Ochiltree Hearing Request Fields
The 84th Court form asks for a lot: county, event date and time, title, estimated time, requestor name and email, both attorneys, case number, style, type, and any interpreter request. The county field matters because three counties share this court. Estimated time helps staff slot the matter where it fits.
- Style
- The formal caption or party names used by the court.
- Type
- The kind of hearing or event being requested.
- Estimated time
- The expected length supplied for scheduling.
- Interpreter request
- A notice that language assistance may be needed.
Sending the form is only a request. The date is not set until the Court Administrator confirms it, so read the final notice or order before you count on anything.
Reading an Ochiltree Court Setting
A setting line should answer five basic questions. If a field is blank, call court staff with the cause number before trusting the date. Otherwise a similar name or another county's case can pull you into a bad match.
| Date | The scheduled calendar day, subject to later court action. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated start or call time, not an estimate of completion. |
| Courtroom | The assigned room or appearance location, if published. |
| Judge | The judicial officer listed for the setting, which may change. |
| Setting type | Pretrial, motion, plea, jury, trial, or another named event. |
| Cause number | The best key for matching the setting to the case. |
A calendar event is never a court order. When the event label and the case file disagree, the signed order and the clerk's record control.
Ochiltree Administrator Controls Settings
Under the 84th Court's local rules, the Court Administrator controls settings. Copy opposing counsel and the District Clerk on any request. Attach a certificate of conference. That certificate states whether counsel talked it over. It also states whether the request is agreed or opposed.
Remote pretrial attendance is possible but never automatic. Do not assume remote access from an earlier event or a general tech option. Confirm the method, link, location, and time for your specific case. That matters most when the docket label is short. The written notice carries fuller instructions.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A reset simply moves a setting. A continuance is a court-approved delay, usually requested by written motion. A cancellation takes an event off the schedule, but the case itself can stay open. None of these equals dismissal unless the judge signs an order saying so.
The 84th Court rules demand detailed written reasons for continuance requests. They also set timing around jury settings. An objection to an immediate jury setting falls under a 14-day rule. Every criminal jury case gets a mandatory pretrial no less than 21 days before trial. Proposed jury materials are due at least one week before trial.
When a setting changes, write down the date on the new notice. Compare it with the online docket. If the two conflict, call court staff. A saved copy of the old page proves nothing about the date now in force.
Ochiltree Calendar Is Not Docket
The Daily Docket is a calendar, not the full register of actions. A motion hearing may appear on it while the motion, response, order, service event, and later disposition never do. The hearing-request form is not an archive or a search-all-cases tool either.
| Source | Best use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Docket | District settings | Not full case history |
| re:SearchTX Hearings | Eligible statewide results | Coverage and role limits |
| Local clerk | Current confirmation and files | Correct office required |
For the complete event history, go to the court file held by the proper clerk. The public Ochiltree County case search routes name and cause-number lookups in more detail.
Missed Ochiltree Court Settings
Missed an Ochiltree County court setting? Call the court listed on your notice right away. Have the cause or citation number ready. Also have the date you missed and your current contact details. Ask the clerk whether the judge set a new date. Or ask whether the judge issued a warrant, capias, or other order. An old calendar is no guide here; the court's own docket entry controls.
Act on the court’s current direction. The clerk can explain the status and access route but cannot give legal advice or promise how the judge will respond.
For a Justice Court or a municipal citation, call the court that issued it. The district calendar may not cover your case. Texas DPS tells drivers with a failure-to-appear or failure-to-pay hold to contact the reporting court directly. Keep one thing in mind, though. A report to that program does not prove how the underlying case came out.
Ochiltree Lower Court Calendars
Ochiltree County posts no single combined calendar, so County Court and Justice Court dates must be confirmed with each office directly. Perryton Municipal Court sits apart from the county too, and its official pages offer no public docket search. Call before you count on a date.
Booker is different. Its published rule is specific. Municipal court convenes Mondays at 1:00 p.m., but only when scheduled as needed. That word "scheduled" matters. The standing Monday time never guarantees your citation is on that day's docket.
For citation and fine questions, Booker City Hall lists (806) 658-4579. Booker also straddles Lipscomb and Ochiltree Counties. Check the citation for the county and the issuing court before leaning on county sources. A street name or mailing address settles nothing. Neither one tells you which court holds the case.
Ochiltree Calendar Check Routine
A good date check leaves a short trail. Jot down the cause number, court, and county. Add the event label, source URL, and the date you viewed it. Compare the docket with your newest written notice. Then clear up any doubt with the court administrator or clerk.
Never publish private event details pulled from a sample calendar. Even without the whole file, a docket can carry names and case references. Use the official page to find your own setting. Follow a public case there too, and verify the result with the originating court before you act.
