Texico Court Docket Searches
Read the paper notice first. The issuing court's name tells you where a Texico court docket search should go. Texico Municipal Court records live with the city court. For a New Mexico state case, turn to New Mexico Case Lookup. That public electronic court-record search walks you through type of court, court location, case category, year, then case number. Even so, municipal results carry real limits. A Texico city citation may need a court-clerk check when the state search returns nothing.
Getting the court name right prevents a common routing error. Municipal jurisdiction covers petty misdemeanors, DWI/DUI, traffic, and local ordinances from the state list. Curry Magistrate Court holds separate state limited jurisdiction. That jurisdiction includes misdemeanors, DWI/traffic, and felony preliminary hearings. A public result may redact identifiers or skip documents entirely. Keep the citation number, notice date, and issuing agency close at hand. Ask the Texico court for the specific record rather than mistaking a payment screen for a case file.
- Match the citation or notice to Texico Municipal Court, Magistrate Court, or District Court.
- Use the citation number for the Texico payment route when the citation directs that use.
- Use Case Lookup for a digitized state-court matter and narrow by the court details.
- Call the Texico court if the number fails, the court date is unclear, or a document is needed.
- Request a plain or certified copy from the court that owns the record.
Texico Court Citation Portal
Texico runs a named online citation-payment channel through nCourt. One search field appears there: Citation Number. Phone payment sits at 877-717-4645. Hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Eastern time. Treat the page as a payment tool, not a public docket-search service. It offers no document attachments, case filters, export controls, or docket-history view. The Texico nCourt source shows the citation-number entry screen and nothing beyond it.
That single field does a narrow payment lookup and nothing more. A Texico court record, disposition, or future hearing may well exist elsewhere.
Inside the Texico Municipal Court
The state municipal contact source places Texico Municipal Court at 219 Griffin Street, Texico, NM 88135. It lists 575-482-3315 and PO Box 208. The Texico city page puts City Hall and the municipal judge setting at that same address. It also gives the city hall main number, 575-482-3314. Hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a noon to 1:00 p.m. lunch closure. The court email is texicojudge@yucca.net. Keep the state court-contact number and the city-hall number labeled separately.
This court holds the municipal tier of jurisdiction only, not the full Curry court system. State cases belong to Magistrate Court. Felonies or larger civil matters go to Curry County District Court. The city page serves as the current municipal-office reference. Prefer it over an older third-party payment screen whose administrative or judge labels may no longer be current.

Texico Court Contact Records
Two official Texico contact points matter here. The state municipal court contacts page lists the court entry itself. The city page, in turn, carries current numbers for city hall and the municipal office. Keep in mind that neither one offers a statewide public docket covering every Texico case. When you call, be specific. Say what you need. Is it a citation number, a hearing date, or a docket entry? Perhaps a plain copy, or a certified disposition. A focused request lets the clerk pull the right court record fast. It also spares municipal staff from hunting through a Curry state-court file they cannot access.
The New Mexico municipal contacts source contains the Texico court entry. It serves as the state court-contact route.
Use the state listing to reach the court. The record itself stays with the court that filed or received the Texico matter.
Finding Texico Court Dates
A Texico court date comes from the court notice. It also comes from the court that set the hearing. Call Texico Municipal Court for a city case. The nCourt payment screen posts no public calendar. It posts no docket history either. For state matters, the Ninth Judicial District publishes separate Curry District and Magistrate schedules. Those calendars cover the current day plus six days. The Magistrate schedule warns that hearing details may contain omissions.
A setting is a scheduled event, never a final outcome. The public record can show a date, time, hearing type, court or division, and status. It may not display every document. Verify any reset, continuance, or changed appearance instruction with the court that issued the notice. And never read Texico office hours as a promised hearing time.
| Date | The Texico notice or docket date, confirmed after any reset. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated appearance time, not merely a city-hall business hour. |
| Court | Texico Municipal Court or the named Curry state court. |
| Case number | The court-assigned or citation identifier used to route the request. |
| Setting type | The displayed hearing label; retain the court's exact wording. |
Texico Court City-Hall Record
Texico keeps its City Hall and municipal judge under one roof at 219 Griffin Street. One building, two record systems. The court clerk holds the municipal court docket. City Hall staff can point you to the right office but cannot hand over a court case file. So a request for a citation outcome, a docket line, or a certified copy has to travel the municipal court route, not the city administrative one. The Texico city source gives the current City Hall and municipal-court contact details.
Treat the municipal-office listing as a way to confirm the clerk, not proof that Texico court records live online. The office display is a starting point only.
Texico Traffic Ticket Lookups
Start with the ticket itself. A Texico traffic citation names the court you must deal with. It carries its own citation number. If it points to Texico Municipal Court, the nCourt payment channel may take the fine. When the number fails online, call the municipal court at 575-482-3315. You can also try the city contact route before assuming a different court. A missing result in the payment screen does not mean the ticket belongs in the state public search.
New Mexico MVD explains that a uniform citation marks whether it is a penalty assessment. Some cases instead demand a court appearance or traffic arraignment. Follow the court and date printed on it. Some state traffic or DWI matters land in Magistrate or District Court instead. Traffic Court lays out those state routes for Curry County. The court named on the citation holds the actual record.
Skip a hearing and the consequences grow. A bench warrant can issue. The MVD can also suspend a license at renewal. That warning is general. Only the Texico court can confirm where a city case truly stands.
Texico Court and Magistrate Files
Texico Municipal Court and Curry Magistrate Court sit on separate tracks. Even a Texico citation can land in either one. The municipal court takes city ordinance cases. It also takes the limited municipal categories the judiciary assigns it. Magistrate Court covers state misdemeanors, DWI and traffic cases, limited civil matters, and felony preliminary hearings. Bigger state trial work goes to District Court. Judge by court location and case category, not by the party's hometown.
| Texico matter | Record custodian | Useful first check |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal citation | Texico Municipal Court | Citation number and city court clerk. |
| State traffic or misdemeanor | Curry Magistrate Court | Named court, state Case Lookup, or clerk. |
| Felony or District civil matter | Curry County District Court | Named District Court case and clerk. |
Curry Magistrate's own address listings disagree: one shows 221 Pile Street, another 700 N. Main, Suite 5. The published phone is 575-762-3766. Call before visiting to request a state file in person.
How Texico Cases Reach the County
A Texico municipal record stays put unless the case moves. State limited-jurisdiction matters route to Curry Magistrate Court. Felonies and District civil matters go to Curry County District Court in Clovis. That is why the public state search asks for court location and category: a Texico place name alone tells you nothing about the custodian.

Once the citation or notice names the court, take the Docket Search route for state pathways. County material only routes a request. For a municipal file, the local clerk still comes first.
Texico Court Record Terms
What a Texico court record shows depends on two things. It depends on the court. It also depends on the interface you are authorized to use. New Mexico's public-access materials define a docket. In their terms, a docket is a chronological record of court activity and hearings. The register of actions is the broader court-record term. It contains those docket entries. Case Lookup results may arrive redacted, and online documents depend on digitization. A result with no attachment does not disprove a filing.
- Citation number
- The number used by the Texico payment channel to find an eligible cited amount.
- Docket
- The sequence of court activity or hearing entries.
- Disposition
- A displayed outcome field; do not expand shorthand without a source.
- Certified copy
- A court-authenticated copy requested from the court that holds the record.
A municipal docket is not an MVD driving history. An empty public result may reflect municipal limits, a restricted record, or paper that was never digitized. Ask the Texico clerk which channel fits.
Texico Court Citation Failures
A dead citation number is not a case outcome. The Texico portal exists to take payments by citation number. It is not a full Texico docket. Reread the citation first for the court name and number. Then call Texico Municipal Court at the state court-contact number, 575-482-3315. You can also use the separately labeled Texico City Hall contact. Ask whether the number is right. Ask whether the case sits in that court. Ask whether a court date or copy must be requested directly.
A Texico state citation may actually belong to Magistrate Court rather than the city court. State municipal-access rules can also limit a public Case Lookup result. The answer worth having is verification from the custodian. It is not a guessed fine, court date, staff title, or docket status. Keep the original Texico notice in hand when you call.
Who Can See Texico Court Records
New Mexico treats court records as open by default. Rule 1-079 says so, unless a sealing order or another rule closes a file. For a Texico municipal record, ask the city court itself. Cases filed in state court work differently: the clerk of that court holds the file, and a county administrative office cannot pull it for you. Give the clerk the case number or citation, say what record you want, and narrow the dates if you can. Even then, some attachments and identifiers stay offline.
The New Mexico IPRA form handles judiciary records. It asks you to pick the court location and department, then describe the docket or filing with reasonable particularity. No reason is needed. The courts say so plainly in their public-records materials. Want a certified copy from Texico? Call the municipal court first and confirm any fee before you mail a payment. The Ninth's published state-court schedule lists $0.35 per photocopy page and $1.50 per certification, though those are not Texico municipal rates.
Key Rules:
New Mexico Rule 1-079 governs public court access, identifiers, and sealing.
New Mexico Courts public-records information directs case-file requests to the judicial district or court custodian.
Case Access Policy requires redaction for online public records and excludes sealed or confidential material.
Note: A Texico court payment result is not a certified disposition and does not replace the full court file.
