Need an Official Docket or Record?

DeSoto Parish uses different custodians for district-court, city, JP, and federal matters. The citation, notice, case number, or order should name the venue. Give the office enough details to identify the public record without sharing information that is not needed for the request.

  • A 42nd JDC docket or copy: contact the DeSoto Parish Clerk of Court or use the current ClerkNet route for available released records.
  • A court date or setting: use the court-date routes and confirm the current date with the assigned court or administrator.
  • A certified copy or minute: ask the Clerk for the document type, case number, and the current copy charge.
  • A city traffic citation: start with the city or Mayor’s Court printed on the citation, not the parish index.
  • A JP case: identify the appropriate JP district through the Louisiana Justice Court Directory.
  • A federal case: use PACER or the Western District of Louisiana’s federal clerk route.
