Conejos County Court Dockets
A court docket is the schedule and event index for a case. In Conejos County, docket information may show the date, time, duration, party or case name, case number, hearing type, location, appearance type, and courtroom. It helps people confirm when a case is set, whether a bond hearing is listed, and which court level is handling the matter. It is not the same as a complaint, order, plea paperwork, decree, or sentencing document.
Conejos County court dockets run through Colorado's statewide trial-court docket system. The Conejos Combined Court houses both the District Court and County Court functions for local state cases. District Court docket entries may involve felony, civil, domestic relations, juvenile, probate, mental health, or water matters. County Court docket entries may involve misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, lower-dollar civil cases, protection orders, and felony complaints before transfer. Municipal ordinance matters may require contact with the town clerk or police department because no single Conejos municipal docket portal was located in the research.
- Docket
- A list of hearings or case events, not the full case file.
- Disposition
- The way a case or charge was resolved.
- Appearance Type
- The expected way to attend, such as in person, remote, or another listed format.
- Register of Action
- A case summary that may include status, parties, charges, plea, disposition, sentence date, and events.
Find Conejos County Court Dockets
The starting point for Conejos County court dockets is the Colorado Judicial Docket Search. The Conejos County Judicial Branch page also links users to the Find Dockets function. The portal is free, but it requires a date component plus one additional filter. A user can search by court location, party name, attorney, attorney bar number, or parts of a case number. When searching only local settings, choose the 12th Judicial District, Conejos County, and Conejos Combined Court.
- Open the statewide docket search from the Conejos County court page or the direct dockets URL.
- Set Judicial District to 12th Judicial District and County to Conejos County.
- Choose Conejos Combined Court when the courthouse dropdown is available.
- Select Both if the matter could be in District Court or County Court.
- Pick a date range, then enter a party name, business name, case number parts, attorney name, or attorney bar number.
- Review the result row and use Export Results or Printable Version if those controls are shown.
The docket portal does not supply every document behind the case. For orders, pleadings, decrees, tickets, Complaint/Information records, Disposition/Sentence Orders, and certified copies, use the state court record/document request form. For payments tied to a ticket, fine, fee, cost, or restitution, use the Colorado Judicial Online Payment System and choose Conejos County.
Conejos County Docket Fields
The docket-search fields are detailed enough to reduce false matches in a small county, but they still require care. A broad date range with only a common last name can return unrelated matters. A case-number search is more precise when the year, class, and sequence are known. Colorado class codes include CR for criminal, DR for domestic relations, PR for probate, T for traffic, M for misdemeanors, S for small claims, and CW for water matters.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Date | The calendar date of the hearing or scheduled event. |
| Time | The listed start time for the setting. |
| Duration | The time blocked by the court when shown. |
| Name | The party or case name displayed in the public result. |
| Case Number | The Colorado case identifier, usually year, class, and sequence. |
| Hearing Type | The type of event, such as advisement, arraignment, status conference, bond hearing, or trial setting. |
| Location | The court or hearing location tied to the result. |
| Appearance Type | Whether the result lists an in-person, remote, or other appearance format. |
| Courtroom | The courtroom or WebEx context when the system provides it. |
The court publishes bond-hearing information at Conejos County bond hearing schedule.
Bond-hearing information is a docket issue because the hearing setting may control where a defendant, attorney, victim, or family member looks first.
Conejos County Docket Courts
Conejos County court dockets reflect the Colorado court hierarchy. The Colorado Supreme Court is the final state appellate court, and the Colorado Court of Appeals handles most appeals from District Court. Local trial work starts with the Conejos County District Court and Conejos County Court at Conejos Combined Court. Water Division 3 may also matter in the San Luis Valley, especially because the Conejos page has included Water Referee WebEx context and water-case notices.
| Court Level | Conejos County Docket Role | Access Channel |
|---|---|---|
| District Court | Felony, civil any amount, domestic relations, juvenile, probate, mental health, and water matters. | State docket search and clerk request form. |
| County Court | Misdemeanor, traffic, small claims, lower-dollar civil, protection orders, and felony complaints. | State docket search, online payments, and clerk request form. |
| Municipal Courts | Town ordinance or municipal traffic matters where active. | Town clerk or police contact because no unified portal was found. |
| Water Division 3 | Rio Grande basin and San Luis Valley water matters when assigned. | Judicial Branch water-court context and case-specific notices. |
| Federal Court | Federal crimes, federal civil cases, habeas, and constitutional claims. | District of Colorado and PACER, not the Conejos trial-court docket. |
Conejos County is part of the 12th Judicial District with Alamosa, Costilla, Mineral, Rio Grande, and Saguache counties. District judges may serve multiple counties, so a judge name on a Conejos docket does not always mean that the judge sits only in Conejos County.
Conejos County Docket Locations
Conejos County docket users should pay close attention to location and appearance fields. The Judicial Branch states that the Conejos County courthouse is closed until further notice because of a fire. Effective July 9, 2025, in-person customer assistance is available at the S.P.M.D.T.U. Concilio Superior. People with in-person hearings must appear at 603 Main Street, Antonito, CO 81120, unless their summons, hearing notice, trial notice, or later court communication says something different.
The temporary location matters most when a docket row, summons, or hearing notice gives more than one clue. The court says trial locations may be separately communicated to parties and jurors. Jury instructions also warn that cell phones and handbags may not be brought into the courtroom, that items are subject to search, that water must be in a clear plastic container, and that children may not be brought for jury service.

Self-help and location resources belong with docket checks because a hearing date may also require forms, WebEx details, or assistance before the appearance.
Dockets Versus Court Records
A docket is an index of events. A full case record is the file that supports those events. For example, a Conejos County criminal docket may show an advisement, arraignment, bond hearing, plea setting, disposition hearing, or sentencing date. The case file may contain the Complaint/Information, bond order, plea paperwork, disposition and sentence order, probation terms, and other documents. A domestic relations docket may show a hearing, while the file may contain a petition, parenting plan, separation agreement, support order, or decree.
| Docket | Full Case Record | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Rows of scheduled events and case identifiers. | Documents, orders, pleadings, decrees, tickets, judgments, and filings. |
| Best Use | Checking dates, hearing type, case number, location, and status clues. | Reviewing the legal filing, court order, disposition, or certified copy. |
| Access | Free statewide docket portal. | Court record/document request form, clerk contact, or paid Register of Action summary. |
| Limits | Not a full history and may omit sealed or restricted data. | May require fees, redaction, identity checks, or denial under access rules. |
For broader file access, use Conejos County court records rather than treating a docket row as the entire record.
Read Conejos County Dockets
Reading a Conejos County docket starts with the case class. CR usually points to criminal felony or criminal case handling. M can appear for misdemeanor matters. T points to traffic. DR is domestic relations. PR is probate. S is small claims. CW is water. JV and JD relate to juvenile case types, which are often restricted. The class code helps a user decide whether the matter is likely in District Court, County Court, probate, traffic, domestic relations, or water context.
Next, review the hearing type and location together. Advisement, arraignment, bond hearing, status conference, motions hearing, trial setting, disposition, sentencing, payment review, and probation review each mean different things. A docket may show that something is scheduled without showing the document that caused it. If a docket row suggests a missed hearing or warrant issue, verify with the clerk or appropriate law enforcement office before relying on an online row.
Note: A Conejos County docket row can lag behind a recent order, continuance, or warrant-clearance event.
