The Reeves County Court Calendar
Reeves County publishes no standalone daily or weekly court calendar. A setting instead turns up in the hearing block of re:SearchTX. That happens when the court sends its data there. It may also sit in the newest entry of the local case file. Or call the office that placed the case on its docket. OCA CARD tracks court activity. But it counts events for statistics. It is not a live schedule.
The paper itself tells you the route. District matters belong to the 143rd Judicial District Court. The Reeves County Court at Law handles its statutory county docket. Four Justice of the Peace precincts run their own limited-jurisdiction calendars. City Class C and ordinance settings sit in Pecos Municipal Court. That court keeps them separate from every other Reeves County court calendar.
Reeves County Hearings Search
The statewide portal has a Hearings mode. Choose Hearings and pick a Search By method. Then enter whatever you know. County and court filters help narrow results on the Advanced panel. Click a hearing type. Per the official guide, a detail dialog then opens. One caution: it does not promise that every Reeves County hearing appears there.
| Control | Use | Reeves County caution |
|---|---|---|
| Hearings | Switches from cases to hearing search | Coverage depends on court integration |
| Search By | Selects a supported search method | Current choices may vary |
| Advanced | May narrow by court or location | Confirm the chosen Reeves County court |
| Search / Reset | Runs or clears the query | A blank result is not proof of no setting |
An exact cause number is your best search term. No number? Search by party, attorney, or judicial officer. The official guide also allows an asterisk wildcard in supported name fields.
How to Find Your Court Date
Begin with the notice, since it names the office that holds the setting. Then work every channel that court offers, not just the statewide portal.
- Read the court name, cause number, party names, and precinct or city reference on the notice or citation.
- Search re:SearchTX Hearings and open the hearing type. Compare it with the newest setting entry in Case Details.
- For a 143rd District Court setting, call the court administrator at 432-943-2749 or email crtadm143@co.ward.tx.us.
- For the Reeves County Court at Law, call 432-287-0222, option 2. For a JP case, call the precinct clerk listed by the county.
- For a Pecos citation, contact Pecos Municipal Court at 432-445-2417 or ask at its City Hall counter.
- If no online result appears, call or visit the correct clerk and ask whether a paper docket, file, or posted calendar is available for inspection.
Save the written notice and jot down who confirmed the date. The county promises no text alerts, email reminders, calendar feed, or public terminal.
Reeves County Date Confirmation
The 143rd Judicial District covers Reeves, Loving, and Ward Counties. Its Reeves office sits in Pecos, but the district page routes general questions through the shared administrator in Monahans. That coordinator becomes a key fallback whenever a Reeves County court calendar result looks stale or the location of a setting is murky.
143rd District Court Administration
Reeves County office: 100 E. 4th Street, Pecos, TX 79772
432-943-2749
crtadm143@co.ward.tx.us
The coordinator handles schedule questions. The Reeves County District Clerk keeps the case file, so ask that office about docket entries and copies. Ask court administration to confirm the active date, time, and courtroom.
Reading a Court Setting
A setting marks a scheduled event, not an outcome. Read the full hearing detail, then check it against the newest docket entry.
| Date | The scheduled calendar day; check for a newer reset notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed start may be a group docket call or an individual hearing time. |
| Courtroom | The room or location for the event; confirm when the entry is blank or remote. |
| Judge | The court or judicial officer assigned to the setting. |
| Setting Type | The event, such as arraignment, pretrial, motion hearing, trial, review, plea, or sentencing. |
The case style and cause number separate two Reeves County calendar entries that share similar party names. An old setting still showing online does not make it current.
Reeves County Setting Terms
Reeves County publishes no local code list. The plain terms here describe common Texas events, but your notice and the court office control.
- Docket call or sounding
- A grouped call used to check readiness and plan later settings.
- Pretrial conference
- A setting for motions, discovery, preparation, or plea talks before trial.
- Motion hearing
- A hearing on a named request for a court order.
- Status or review hearing
- A check on progress, compliance, or supervision.
- Bench trial
- A non-jury trial in which the judge decides the facts and law.
A notice of setting puts an event on the calendar. It says nothing about what the judge later ruled. For that, read the order, judgment, or disposition in the case file.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A reset moves the event to a new date. The same goes for a continuance. The old Reeves County court calendar entry does not vanish. Scan the newest events for words like "reset," "continued," "pass," "notice of reset," or another setting. Reeves County posts no public abbreviation list. So leave a short code alone unless the entry or the clerk explains it.
When dates conflict, compare three sources. Use the hearing result, the latest case entry, and the court office itself. The county posts no weather-closing policy, holiday orders, remote links, or standing docket-call rules. Check the current county or judge page and call before you drive. One more quirk comes from the District Clerk. That office warns that some counter services stop while it has docket.
Preserve the Reeves County Date Trail
Keep every notice, email, and portal result until the setting passes. Log the cause number, date, time, court, and setting type. Note who confirmed it. If a reset arrives, save both notices. That paper trail lets you explain an older date and ask a precise question.
Quick check: A calendar entry tells when an event is set. Only a later order or docket entry tells what happened.
If an electronic result and a written notice disagree, call the court right away. Never guess which date controls.
Reeves County Lower-Court Calendars
A citation from Pecos is not the same as a county JP setting. City Class C misdemeanors and ordinance cases go through the Pecos Municipal Court. The JP precincts take traffic and other fine-only matters. They also handle evictions, small claims, and limited civil cases in Reeves County within their jurisdiction. Every one of these offices keeps its own calendar channel.
JP Precinct 3 has a Balmorhea office. The phone there is 432-375-2663. The county lists precinct contacts for JP1, JP2, and JP4 in Pecos. There is no county-wide JP calendar. Call the right office directly. City citations go through the separate Pecos citation portal or the City Hall counter. When the court name is hard to read, check the issuing agency and precinct printed on the paper. Then route your call accordingly.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Call the court that set the case right away. Give the clerk or coordinator the cause number. Add the party name, the date you missed, and the type of setting. Ask whether a new date exists and what the court needs from you next. If an attorney appears on the case, that counsel should also be contacted at once.
Missed a Setting? A missed date can lead to added court action, including a warrant or bond consequence in some criminal matters.
Call the correct Reeves County court or clerk at once and ask how to confirm the present docket status.
A licensed attorney can advise on the safest response before an appearance or filing.
An online blank does not mean the case was dismissed. The date may have moved. The matter may sit in a separate lower court, or the electronic feed may simply skip that Reeves County docket.
