How the Presidio County Court Calendar Works
No single Presidio County court calendar covers every court. The county calendar offers day, week, month, and agenda views. It adds category filters, printing, iCal, and RSS. Its categories cover general county business, Commissioners Court, closures, cancellations, and holidays. Handy tools, but none of them sets a date for your case.
Judicial settings are split among several courts. They include the 394th District Court, the constitutional County Court, two justice courts, and municipal courts in Marfa and Presidio. The county's courtroom navigation includes links for JP1 calendars, dockets, trial notices, and a district calendar. Those links do not always load. Try the right route first. If it fails, call the clerk or coordinator who handles that court.
Presidio County Calendar or Case Setting
"Calendar" can mean two different records. An event calendar might list a meeting, a closure, or a booking of county space. A case setting, by contrast, names a court matter. It also names the act scheduled in it. So a "Canceled" category on the event calendar proves nothing about your hearing.
| Source | What it shows | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| County event calendar | Events, meetings, closures | County operations |
| Case docket or notice | Case-linked settings and later entries | Reading the latest filed setting |
| Clerk or coordinator | Current scheduling confirmation | Checking time and place |
Printed, iCal, and RSS copies go stale fast.
Presidio County Court Date Lookups
Begin with the court name and cause number exactly as printed. In Presidio County's split court structure, that beats a broad name search every time.
- Read the latest notice, summons, citation, or clerk message.
- Check a court-linked docket only when it clearly names the court and case.
- Ask the District Clerk, County Clerk, JP clerk, or municipal clerk for the current setting.
- For 394th hearing logistics, confirm the date and location with the court coordinator.
- Save the date, time, event type, room, and source of the confirmation.
For district docket records, call the District Clerk at (432) 729-3857. The County Clerk handles County Court and probate at (432) 729-4812, JP1 lists (432) 729-4831, and JP2 lists (432) 229-3705. Your attorney is another direct source for the operative notice, and the Presidio County docket search can help you locate the case before dialing.
Presidio County’s Five-County District
The 394th District Court serves Brewster, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio Counties. Its main office sits in Alpine. The Presidio County courthouse and clerks are in Marfa. The court travels among all five counties and asks visitors to call ahead. An Alpine office address does not settle the question. It does not mean a Presidio County hearing happens there. And a Marfa case file does not mean every setting is in Marfa.
One office can hold the file while another runs the judge's schedule. The District Clerk confirms what the docket records. The 394th coordinator handles hearing logistics. The OCA directory names coordinator Lori Holguin at (432) 837-5831. The county District Court profile shows the judge's Alpine office and court contact.
The profile establishes identity and contact details, not a daily Presidio County case calendar.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Read a setting line as one unit, not field by field. No local docket sample is safe to cite here, so assume no local code.
| Date | The scheduled day on the latest notice or docket entry. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated start, which may be a docket call rather than a private appointment. |
| Courtroom | The city, building, floor, room, or remote instruction. |
| Judge | The court or officer assigned on the current notice. |
| Setting Type | Hearing, arraignment, plea, trial, show cause, jury selection, or docket call. |
A filing deadline and a hearing are different events. Ask whether you must appear and whether new instructions have issued.
Presidio County Setting Terms
Short labels can hide key differences in a Presidio County setting. Read each one beside the next entry and the signed notice or order.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event.
- Docket call
- A list of cases used to assess readiness or next action.
- Reset
- A new setting after an earlier date moved.
- Continuance
- A postponement authorized through the court process.
- Notice issued
- A recorded notice event, not proof of receipt.
Presidio County publishes no verified local code legend for its setting terms. "Passed," "reset," and "continued" are not synonyms.
When a Court Date Moves
Court dates move. A reset, continuance, cancellation, order, or scheduling conflict can shift a setting after your notice was printed. Read the later docket entries, because the newest valid setting replaces an older date while the old line stays in the history. Keep in mind that a continuance request alone moves nothing; the court must act on it.
Confirm any change with the office that keeps the record. District records go to the District Clerk, County Court and probate records to the County Clerk, and precinct or city cases to their own clerks. For the traveling district court, confirm the city and room with the coordinator too. Save the revised notice.
Presidio County Calendar Tools
The official Presidio County calendar prints to PDF and exports through iCal or RSS. Treat those as convenience copies only. An export never turns an event feed into a judicial calendar, and an exported item can lag behind a later court action.
The controls show what the county publishes; the missing case fields mark the page's real limit.
Presidio County Municipal Settings
Municipal settings run through city court contacts. Marfa publishes appearance and payment pages but no public case-calendar query, and Presidio Municipal Court posts office and payment information rather than a searchable settings table. A dated city report said Presidio held open court on Monday and Thursday, but that snapshot fixes no date for your case. Call instead.
Marfa's municipal clerk answers at (432) 729-3890, or reach the city at (432) 729-4315. Presidio Municipal Court lists (432) 229-3527. For a county citation assigned to JP1 or JP2, use the justice court. The issuing court printed on the citation controls.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Missed a setting in Presidio County? Reach the court or your attorney right away. Ask what the docket now shows. It might list a new date, an order, a failure-to-appear entry, or some other required step. An online page can lag behind the real record. Treat it as a lead rather than an answer. If a warrant, bond issue, or another consequence could be in play, get case-specific legal advice before doing anything else.
Missed a setting? A missed court date can lead to serious consequences, depending on the court and matter.
Call the correct clerk or coordinator promptly, keep a record of the response, and follow formal court instructions.
A licensed lawyer can advise on the safest response to a missed Presidio County setting.
Write down the details as you go. Note the call time, the office you contacted, the current date, the event type, the location, and any instruction to pick up a new notice.
Presidio County Historic Courtroom Priority
Presidio County runs its historic courtroom under a preservation policy. It gives priority use to the District Court, County Court, and JP1. It also covers security, common areas, and access. Remember, though, that this policy governs the building. It says nothing about the live case schedule. A booked room never creates a party's duty to appear without a case-linked notice.
Before you drive over, check two things: the Presidio County setting and current building access. Ask which floor you need, what security steps apply, and whether any accommodation is available. That call matters here. The courthouse has appeared in a dated 2026 elevator-access agenda item. Reach the assigned clerk first. Room access and the judicial setting can shift on separate schedules.
