This Is Not a Court or Government Office. Chaves County Court Docket cannot retrieve files, issue copies, modify a setting, seal a case, accept a filing, or give legal advice. Contact the court that holds the record.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
The correct Chaves County contact depends on court level. The District clerk keeps District Court files. Roswell Magistrate has its own records contact. Roswell, Dexter, Hagerman, and Lake Arthur municipal courts keep their city-case records. Case Lookup can be a public register lead, but an official document, certification, or missing setting requires the custodian.
- Register or case number: begin with New Mexico Case Lookup guidance, then verify the court location.
- Chaves District setting: check the court calendar for the near-term public window and confirm it with the court.
- District record, inspection, or certification: contact the Chaves County District Court Clerk’s Office.
- Magistrate record: contact Roswell Magistrate Court rather than the District or city clerk.
- City citation or ordinance file: use the listed municipal court and citation, not the general city records office.
