Find Gray County Court Dates

Gray County Court Calendars Explained

Hearing settings in Gray County are divided by court. Each office keeps its own docket. The District Clerk handles records for district matters. Those cover felony, family, and general civil cases. The County Clerk takes county-level misdemeanor, probate, guardianship, and civil work. Justice courts set their own small-claims, eviction, debt, and Class C hearings, while Pampa and Lefors municipal courts handle city ordinance and Class C matters inside their cities.

Gray County publishes no official daily or weekly calendar feed. The case docket and the assigned clerk are the practical routes. Begin with the caption, cause number, or citation on your paperwork. If the court level is unclear, the Texas trial-court overview sorts out the differences. Two courts may sit in Gray County. That does not mean a hearing listed in one will appear on the other's calendar.

Gray County Has Several Calendars

Where the case began controls which calendar it lands on. District matters go through the 31st or 223rd District Court. County Court settings run through the County Clerk and the county judge's office, and justice matters belong to the precinct court with territorial authority. Municipal tickets stay with Pampa or Lefors unless the papers show another route.

This split trips up many people who search a county clerk index for a district setting. The court name on the first page of your papers tells you more than the county name alone.

Finding Your Court Date

Rely on the newest official source you can reach. re:SearchTX offers statewide case information where Gray County coverage and public access allow it. The portal may require registration, JavaScript, or an account, and a missing image does not erase the case. For the live setting, the clerk is still the source.

1. Copy the exact cause number, party name, and court from the notice, bond paper, petition, or citation.
2. Check re:SearchTX or the appropriate official local portal. Open the case and read the most recent setting entry, not an older event.
3. Call the assigned clerk. District records use the District Clerk; county matters use the County Clerk; JP and municipal matters use their own offices.
4. Visit the clerk's counter when online and phone checks do not resolve the date. Ask whether a current printed docket or courtroom posting is available.
5. Confirm the date, time, courtroom, judge or court, and setting type with counsel or the clerk before appearing.

Mail works for requesting an existing court record. As a last-minute channel for a hearing date, it falls short. The official pages promise no email alerts, text reminders, or single printed calendar covering all Gray County courts.

Gray County Setting Contacts

For district-court dates, start with the Gray County District Clerk, Room 300, 205 N. Russell, Pampa, at 806-669-8010. The 31st District Court lists court coordinator Jennifer Hartman at 806-669-8024, and the 223rd District Court lists coordinator Chandie Kraus at 806-669-8014. Ask the clerk about the case record. Turn to a coordinator when the court's own schedule needs explaining.

County Court questions can go to 806-669-8007 or the County Clerk at 806-669-8004. JP Precincts 1 and 3 list 806-669-8032, and Precincts 2 and 4 list 806-669-8015. Each number is distinct because a justice setting belongs to its own precinct. Give staff the cause number and ask for the latest setting in the court's record.

Note: Court personnel and routing details change, so confirm official contact pages before mailing anything.

How to Read a Court Setting

A setting is an appointment on the Gray County court calendar, nothing more. It is not a judgment. Read every field together. A date with no court or setting type can send you to the wrong room. A docket call time may cover several matters, while an individual hearing often has its own time.

Gray County publishes no local code list or sample docket. Never guess at a result from an unexplained abbreviation. Ask the clerk what the exact entry means.

Gray County Calendar Terms

Calendar language describes process, not outcomes. It is never proof of liability, guilt, or relief granted. These plain meanings help when you review a Gray County setting.

Setting

A scheduled court event. It may be procedural rather than a final hearing.

Reset

A new date replacing or following an earlier setting.

Continuance

A delay allowed by the court; it is not a dismissal.

Docket call

A session in which the court addresses several listed matters.

Disposition

The recorded resolution or status of a case, which must be read from the actual order or judgment when details matter.

“Filed” only means the clerk received an item. “Signed” or “entered” may signal court action, but the document itself holds the full terms.

Continuances, Resets, and Cancellations

A Gray County hearing can move after a motion, court order, or scheduling conflict recorded in the case. Read the docket from the newest line backward. An old notice may sit in the file. A later order may have reset the event. A blank portal screen can also stem from a vendor or account problem rather than a cancellation.

Only the judge can grant a continuance. Filing a request does not remove your duty to appear. Confirm the judge acted on it, and get the new date from the clerk or the signed order. If counsel is involved, check there too. Keep the cause number handy, since staff must sort out cases with similar party names.

Note: Courthouse office hours are not hearing times; confirm the event itself before driving to Pampa.

Gray County Municipal Date Fallbacks

The Pampa Municipal Court portal is the city's own search tool. When it is up, it lets anyone pull a Pampa docket by citation, driver license, vehicle details, name, or business name. The service goes down at times. If the portal will not load on your court date search, call the court at 806-669-5785 and read the citation exactly as issued.

Lefors keeps things simpler. The Lefors Municipal Court page is the city's official starting point. The clerk answers at 806-835-2200 for any docket question. McLean has no city court listed in the official directory. A citation written around McLean usually points to a justice court instead. Follow the court name printed on the ticket rather than hunting for a municipal calendar that is not there.

Gray County and Federal Calendars

Federal cases from Gray County never touch the county's state-court calendars. They land in the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division, with docket details in PACER. Bankruptcy follows an Amarillo route too. So a federal case number or federal court caption does not belong at Room 200 or Room 300. Neither does a bankruptcy notice. Those offices handle Gray County state cases, nothing else.

Appeals add a twist. A case can move to a different court. The trial file stays with its original clerk. The District Clerk page points to the Seventh Court of Appeals. That is the appellate venue. Check which court set the event before you head anywhere. The court where the case began is not always the court acting on it. That matters when a notice lists an appellate submission date rather than a trial-court hearing.

If You Miss a Court Setting

Act fast. Call the Gray County clerk assigned to your case, along with your lawyer if you have one, and ask what the docket shows now. A phone call does not cancel a warrant. It cannot change bond conditions or create a new court date. Only the court controls those steps. On a ticket, contact the municipal or justice court printed on the citation.

Note the office, the time, and the instructions given. Then confirm any new date in the official court record itself. Staff can share public record and scheduling details, but they cannot give legal advice.
