Texas County Court Docket
Texas County court docket records are managed by the Court Clerk in Guymon, deep in the Oklahoma Panhandle. This is the second-largest county in Oklahoma by land area, stretching across the western portion of the Panhandle. Despite its huge size, Texas County has a smaller population, which means the District Court handles fewer cases than urban counties. You can search any court docket filed here through two free online databases. The clerk keeps records for civil, criminal, probate, family law, and juvenile cases. Whether you need to check on a traffic case or track a civil lawsuit, the docket has the details you need.

Texas County District Court Docket Types
The Texas County District Court is part of the 1st Judicial District. It handles felony criminal cases, civil lawsuits above $10,000, probate, divorce and custody, and juvenile matters. Guymon is the judicial center for the whole county. Each case gets a unique number with a prefix that tells you the type. CF is for criminal felonies, CM for misdemeanors, CJ for civil, and SC for small claims.
Given the large geographic area, Texas County sometimes sees cases tied to the meatpacking and agricultural industries that drive the local economy. Civil disputes, workers' compensation matters, and traffic cases from the highways that cross the Panhandle all show up on the court docket. The District Court is the only trial court of general jurisdiction in the county, so everything from major felonies to small claims goes through one courthouse.
Municipal courts in Texas County include Guymon Municipal Court, Hooker Municipal Court, and Tyrone Municipal Court. These handle city ordinance violations and minor traffic tickets within their city limits. Their dockets are separate from the District Court but some records may appear on ODCR.
