Whether you need to look up a traffic ticket, check on a pending felony case, or find a civil lawsuit filing, this page shows you where to search and how to get copies of Tulsa court docket records.

Tulsa County District Court Docket

Tulsa falls within Tulsa County, and all felony criminal cases, civil lawsuits over $10,000, probate matters, divorces, and juvenile cases go through the Tulsa County District Court. The District Court uses the OSCN system for case records. Every filing shows up on the docket with dates, party names, charges or claims, and the status of each action. The docket is a public record under Oklahoma law.

The Tulsa County District Court Clerk's office is at 500 S Denver Ave, Tulsa, OK 74103. The phone number is (918) 596-5400. You can go in person during business hours to look up case files or request certified copies. Staff will pull records if you have a name or case number. Copies run $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each page after. Certification is $5.00 per document. Cases that start in Municipal Court may end up in District Court if they involve more serious charges or if a defendant asks for a jury trial. Municipal courts in Oklahoma do not hold jury trials, so those must happen in District Court.
