Why We Built This Site
Tennessee gives the public broad access to court dockets and case files, but the hard part is figuring out which office holds the piece you want. The clerk of court is the keeper of the docket - the running list of filings, parties, and settings for each case. The trial courts hold the dockets: they schedule hearings, hear cases, and enter dispositions. The statewide case-search system pulls case indexes together so a name or case number can be looked up in one place. Add specialty courts and separate criminal and civil divisions, and the picture gets crowded fast. We collect the contact details, search portals, case-number formats, and request steps for each of these offices into one place.

Limits on Available Help
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Tennessee court, clerk of court, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We are unable to pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We are unable to change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We are unable to remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We are unable to issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We are unable to give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We are unable to guarantee that every phone number, fee, or setting listed on this site is current right now
Only the clerk of court or the trial court that heard the case can issue an official or certified copy of a docket sheet or court record. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Outside Search Providers
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We don't control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
