How to Search the Roby Court Docket
No single Roby court docket portal exists online. So begin with the case type. Gather the full name, a date range, and the cause or citation number. Then contact the Fisher County office that actually holds the file.
- Use the County Clerk’s Local Government Solutions portal for advertised probate and misdemeanor A/B index records.
- For felony, family, major civil, contested probate, or another district matter, call the District Clerk at 325-776-2279.
- For a Roby-area traffic, fine-only Class C, small civil, or magistrate matter, call the countywide JP at 325-776-2482.
- For a district hearing, check the 32nd District Court agenda calendar and identify the Fisher setting.
- When no online result appears, ask the correct Roby office to search by name, date range, and record type.
- Confirm the latest setting or disposition with the clerk before relying on it.
A docket search in Roby can lead across three separate things: an index, the filed case record, and a public calendar. None of the three stands in for the others.
Roby Court Docket Office Cluster
Roby’s local advantage is physical concentration, but each office still has its own role. The Fisher County Courthouse is at 112 N. Concho Street. The District Clerk, County Judge, and Justice of the Peace use that courthouse address, while the County Clerk is at 109 N. Angelo Street.
Roby records contacts
County Clerk: Pat Thomson, 325-776-2401, PO Box 368, Roby, TX 79543.
District Clerk: Gina Pasley, 325-776-2279, PO Box 88, Roby, TX 79543.
Justice of the Peace: Angie Pippin, 325-776-2482, PO Box 367, Roby, TX 79543.
County Judge: Ken B. Holt, 325-776-2151, PO Box 306, Roby, TX 79543.
The post office boxes matter just as much as the street addresses. The County Clerk warns that USPS delivery must go to PO Box 368, since no mail reaches the street address. Address a request to the specific office, not just the courthouse.
The Roby Municipal Court
The Texas Office of Court Administration's Municipal Courts by City directory lists no Roby municipal court. There is no official Roby municipal docket viewer. There is no citation portal, judge listing, or municipal-court contact to rely on either. That gap does not mean the city can never issue a citation. If a ticket names Roby, read the court information printed on the document. Also read the issuing agency on it. Then ask the city or Fisher County offices where it was filed. Don't assume it belongs to Rotan Municipal Court.
Roby Court Records in a County-Seat Town
For background on the town itself, the Texas State Historical Association profile of Roby traces the story. It covers a town incorporated in 1915 whose civic role grew alongside the county.
History is context, not case data. Roby counted 591 residents in the 2020 Census, yet its county-seat status makes it the in-person starting point for records serving all of Fisher County. Population decides nothing about access or an outcome.
Roby Court Dates and Settings
The 32nd District Court posts its settings through a public Google agenda. In Fisher County the court generally sits on Wednesday. Treat that as an orientation pattern, not a promise. Holidays, trials, emergencies, continuances, and special orders can shift the day or the place.
| Date | The listed hearing day, checked against any later reset or order. |
|---|---|
| Time | A docket-call or event time that may apply to several cases. |
| Courtroom | For a local district matter, often the Fisher County Courthouse in Roby, but confirmation is required. |
| Judge | The presiding court or judge named in the current setting. |
| Setting Type | A plea, pretrial, docket call, hearing, trial, or other event, not its result. |
Before you go, call to confirm. District Clerk Gina Pasley can be reached at 325-776-2279, and Court Administrator Becky Stewart at 325-235-3133. The court publishes no current details on Roby courtroom hours, security, parking, check-in, public seating, or ADA accommodations.
Roby Court Docket Mail Routes
A mailed request can fail even with the right courthouse named. Each Roby office uses its own box. The County Clerk takes PO Box 368. The District Clerk takes PO Box 88, the JP PO Box 367, and the County Judge PO Box 306. None are interchangeable. In the letter, state the record type and the full legal name. Add an approximate date range and the cause or citation number if you have it. Name the product you want. That may be a docket entry, index information, disposition, plain copy, certified copy, or electronic copy. A focused request tied to one civic need beats a broad demand for everything about a person.
Roby Traffic Tickets
For traffic and other fine-only Class C matters, the countywide Fisher County Justice of the Peace is the court of record. Judge Angie Pippin's office sits at 112 N. Concho Street in Roby. It offers a payment route. It does not publish a citation search form or a detailed fine schedule. It also skips defensive-driving rules, deferred-disposition terms, and current payment deadlines. Your citation number is the key identifier. Without it, give the full name, approximate date, issuing agency, and court type. Ask the office whether it holds the citation or docket entry. Ask about payment or appearance history, disposition, judgment, or certified copy too. A payment link alone tells you neither the amount nor your legal options in a specific Roby matter. Skip the County Clerk misdemeanor A/B search for a fine-only traffic citation. The countywide distinction is explained further in Fisher County traffic court records.
Roby Court Docket Fields to Record
Fisher County sources publish no universal Roby docket schema. Write down the fields that actually appear on your record. Don't fill gaps with details from another court.
- Cause or case number
- The exact court identifier, including punctuation and year markers.
- Case style
- The public caption and roles, subject to redaction rules.
- Filed date
- When the initiating paper was accepted.
- Setting
- The next hearing, plea, docket call, pretrial, or trial date.
- Event
- A filing, order, reset, continuance, disposition, or other action.
- Document
- A petition, complaint, motion, judgment, return, or other filed item.
Know what an entry proves. A filing records a procedural act and nothing more. A charge is not a conviction, a petition is not a finding, and a setting is not a completed hearing.
Where Roby Cases End Up
There is no OCA-listed Roby municipal court. So most searches start with the Fisher County office named on the record. Class C and traffic matters go to the countywide JP. Misdemeanor A/B and county probate records start with the County Clerk. Felony, family, major civil, and other district matters belong to the District Clerk.
Docket flow: Roby local or JP contact › Fisher County Courts › 32nd Judicial District Court
Fisher County cases that outgrow local handling move up to the 32nd District Court, a court it shares with Mitchell and Nolan Counties. That movement is not an appeal. Fisher filings themselves stay with the Fisher District Clerk, so the county docket overview is the better tool for seeing how assignments branch out.
Roby Online Index Versus Case File
Local Government Solutions hosts the County Clerk's online index for Fisher County. Its portal covers probate and misdemeanor A/B records. Land records from 1980 forward, marriage records, and birth and death indexes are included too. Guest Login gets you index lines and previews. Register, and you can buy images. The FAQ allows five court-case images before a subscription kicks in. Every purchase carries a $0.30 transaction fee.
An index hit is a starting point, not the full Roby case file. District, JP, and municipal records sit elsewhere, and some protected images never appear online. A search may come up empty. In that case, try other spellings of the legal name. Widen the date range too. Then call the right clerk before deciding no record exists.
Public Access to Roby Court Records
Which Texas access rule applies depends on what you want. Court rules, statutes, and orders govern judicial case records. The Texas Public Information Act covers certain non-adjudicative government records. A District Clerk request form may borrow public-information wording. That label does not turn every case file into a TPIA record. Match the rule to the document, not the form.
Key rules: Texas judicial open-records policy distinguishes adjudicative court records from administrative records. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 76a addresses sealing of covered civil court records. Texas Family Code Chapters 58 and 85 restrict juvenile and protected-person information.
Law or court order can also seal, expunge, nondisclose, or redact a Roby record. Ask the office that holds it which process applies. A missing online result proves nothing, and guessing at the contents of an inaccessible filing is never safe.
Roby Court Docket or County Agenda
Commissioners Court gathers in Roby. Its agendas and minutes cover budgets, roads, appointments, contracts, and county administration. Meetings usually fall on the second Monday. Agenda requests are due by noon the Tuesday before. None of that is a judicial docket.
Word choice keeps things straight. Use "agenda" and "minutes" for Commissioners Court, and "calendar" for court settings. Use "docket" for the chronological case events, and "recorded instrument" for County Clerk land records. That Roby-specific vocabulary stops an administrative action from getting reported as a judicial result.
Final Roby Court Docket Check
Check any Roby result before you lean on it. Match the court name, cause or citation number, record type, and newest event date. A County Clerk index entry belongs with that office. A district record belongs with the District Clerk. A JP citation belongs with the justice-court channel. Keeping those roles straight stops a portal miss from turning into a false conclusion.
Call the Roby office if an appearance is coming up. Confirm the active date, time, courtroom, and setting type. When ordering a copy, pin down what you get. It could be an index, a plain image, a certified copy, or the full public file. Write down the date of your contact and any quoted fee. Current instructions from the office beat an old saved page, and protected Roby material stays under its governing statute, rule, or order.
Roby Record Routing Note
A Roby search stays accurate when each record is tied to the office that keeps it. Location alone will not do it. Name the court, the case type, and the document you want before sending anything.
Roby Court Record Copy Choices
Access and authentication are two different things in a Roby request. The Fisher County Clerk prices plain copies at $1 per page. Certified copies cost $1 per page plus $5. The District Clerk's 2024 schedule sets paper copies at $1 per page. Electronic copies run $0.10 per page. The minimum per document is $1. An exemplified copy adds $5. These schedules come from different Roby offices, so keep them apart.
Confirm the current charge with the office before it processes anything. A screen view or portal image may answer a basic docket question, while a certified or exemplified record serves a formal purpose of its own. Always state the case number and the exact document. Add the page range if known, the delivery format, and whether certification is needed. That keeps a Roby court docket request tight and avoids paying for the wrong product.
