How to Search the Yorktown Court Docket
The city directory offers no Yorktown docket-search form, no event list, and no public court calendar. Work from the citation instead. Pull the citation number, the exact name as written, the issuing agency, and the appearance date. Then call the clerk who keeps that docket.
- Read whether the citation names Yorktown Municipal Court or Justice Precinct 2.
- For the city court, call 361-564-2611 and identify the municipal citation.
- Ask for the current status, plea, date, and way to request a public copy.
- Use TrafficPayment only when the court confirms payment is the right action.
- For JP2, call 361-564-9410 instead of the city line.
No lower court named on the paper? If the case sits at the county or district level, use the DeWitt County case search. A Yorktown street address alone does not put the filing in Yorktown Municipal Court.
Yorktown Court at 102 W Main
The city-linked Yorktown contact directory lists Municipal Court at 102 W. Main, Yorktown. It names Municipal Court Judge Peggy Mayer. The city main phone is 361-564-2611. Since the site does not use a government domain, the Texas CARD directory works well as a court-identity cross-check.
Yorktown Municipal Court
102 W. Main
Yorktown, Texas
361-564-2611
Ask for the municipal court and give the citation number.
That directory gets you to the court, but it is not an online docket. The city publishes no court hours. Call ahead, and ask when the clerk can take a status or copy request.
The Yorktown Municipal Court
Yorktown Municipal Court is where a Yorktown municipal citation or ordinance case belongs. Texas municipal courts handle city ordinance violations and fine-only criminal matters within their authority. A JP civil claim, an eviction, or a county misdemeanor does not land here. Yorktown location alone is not enough. The directory gives the judge, address, phone, and payment route. It publishes no register of filings, sample docket, or calendar. For the Yorktown court docket, ask the clerk to confirm the charge, the plea, and the next setting. Ask about the status too. Need a copy? Name the exact case and ask how the court prefers a narrow written request.
Yorktown Payment Is Not Docket Search
The city directory links TrafficPayment.com. It lists the vendor phone as 1-800-444-1187. That is a payment path only. The vendor route shows no public case events, docket index, or court calendar. A balance or receipt cannot tell you every filing or the final disposition.
| Route | What it can establish | What it cannot establish |
|---|---|---|
| City court clerk | Current Yorktown status, date, and copy process | JP2 or district case status |
| TrafficPayment | Payment option presented for an eligible matter | Complete Yorktown court docket history |
| County or state search | Some cases filed above the city tier | A guaranteed city-citation result |
Confirm the case and the acceptable action with Yorktown Municipal Court before using the vendor. Otherwise a payment result can be mistaken for a plea, a judgment, or a closed case.
Yorktown Court Dates and Settings
Yorktown publishes no municipal calendar. The appearance date printed on the citation is the first deadline to preserve, not a substitute for later hearing notices. So call the city court with the citation number and ask whether a setting has been entered or changed.
| Date | The date printed on the citation or confirmed by the Yorktown clerk |
|---|---|
| Time | The specific time supplied by the court, since no public schedule was located |
| Location | Confirm 102 W. Main or any place stated in the current notice |
| Court | Yorktown Municipal Court, not JP2, unless the paper says otherwise |
| Setting Type | Plea, hearing, trial, or other event as stated by the clerk |
Yorktown Court and JP2
Yorktown Municipal Court and Justice Precinct 2 are two different docket owners. JP2's official packet places that office at 118 E. Main Street, Yorktown. Its mailing address is P.O. Box 336. Judge Blanca S. McBride is identified there. The JP2 phone is 361-564-9410, and its email is dewitt-county-jp2@dwcotx.org.
| Clue | Yorktown Municipal Court | Justice Precinct 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Address | 102 W. Main | 118 E. Main |
| Phone | 361-564-2611 | 361-564-9410 |
| Typical route | City citation or ordinance matter | Justice-court traffic, civil, eviction, or small-claim matter within jurisdiction |
The court name on the paper controls the first call. Never infer venue from the Yorktown mailing address, and never ask one office to explain the other office's docket.
Yorktown Traffic Tickets
Read the issuing court on the ticket first. If it names Yorktown Municipal Court, call the city line with the citation number and appearance date. Ask what response is due and whether the vendor can take payment. If it names JP2, use the justice court instead. A plea, a contested case, or a copy request may still need direct court contact even when online payment is offered. Keep proof of any filing or payment. Then ask the clerk for the official case status. For the wider municipal and justice-court split, see the DeWitt County traffic court records page.
Yorktown Court Activity Numbers
The OCA municipal activity report for September 2024 through August 2025 shows Yorktown with 1,270 cases at the start, two reactivated, 93 added, 85 disposed, none inactive, and 1,284 at the end. Those are aggregate reporting figures. They do not describe the live Yorktown court docket for a named case.
OCA uses a 2024 court-report population of 1,785. DeWitt County's 2026 hazard plan lists a 2023 ACS estimate of 1,987. Different years and methods, so do not blend them. Neither figure reveals a case status.
Where Yorktown Cases End Up
A Yorktown city matter can stay in Municipal Court. A justice-court matter goes to JP2 or the proper precinct. County Court misdemeanors, plus county civil and probate files, run through the County Clerk. District felonies, civil suits, family cases, and juvenile records go to the District Clerk.

Yorktown Citation to Confirmation
Pull the useful keys off a Yorktown citation first: the issuing authority, the citation number, the alleged violation, the appearance date, and the court address. Read all of them before you pick up the phone. When you call the Yorktown clerk, say which task you need, because a date check, a plea change, a payment, a status question, and a copy request are handled differently.
- Appearance date
- The deadline printed on the citation for taking the required action.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event confirmed by the court.
- Disposition
- The court’s recorded outcome, which a payment receipt alone may not show.
- Docket
- The court’s chronological case-event record.
Check the city line on the citation. If the citation names another court as the custodian, contact that court directly. Guessing at unrelated portals until a Yorktown docket search turns up a similar name helps no one.
Be exact about what you want from the docket. A current status tells you what the clerk sees right now. A docket sheet lays out the sequence of events. A judgment or an order is its own filed record. Before sending any money, ask whether the copy will be plain or certified. Ask what fee applies. The city's published source lists no Yorktown copy fee or standard turnaround time. Treat any broad promise with doubt.
A name alone can mislead, especially with common names or spelling differences. Pair the name with the citation number and the court. No number? Give the clerk the approximate issue date and the issuing agency. Then follow the search instructions you receive. Never send sensitive personal data through an unverified payment page.
Public Access to Yorktown Court Records
Request an eligible Yorktown municipal record straight from the city court, using the citation or case details. Name the exact item, whether a docket sheet, a judgment, or a filed document. Ask whether a written request is required. The court offers no universal turnaround time and no online copy form.
Public access does not mean instant internet access. A clerk may need to pull the file and check whether part of it is confidential. The clerk can then explain how the record can be inspected or copied. Suppose only an index entry shows up. Ask then whether the underlying document is public and how to request it. A missing image does not mean the record is sealed. An index does not make every page open.
Keep the request narrow. Include Yorktown Municipal Court, the citation or case number, the record you want, and your contact details. If the court says another clerk owns the file, redirect the request there. Do not ask the city to certify a record it does not keep.
Say upfront if you need a certified copy. Certification is an official clerk act, not the same as a plain printout. You may only want the sequence of events. Then ask whether inspection or a plain docket sheet will do. Yorktown's published directory states no copy prices, accepted request methods, or delivery times. The clerk supplies those current details. Save the response with the citation so later questions point back to the same case and product.
