Use the Matagorda court level to identify the record custodian
| Proceeding identified in the paperwork | Local jurisdiction clue | Records contact |
|---|---|---|
| Felony in the 23rd or 130th District Court | The District Attorney’s guide identifies these courts with felony jurisdiction. | District Clerk: 979-244-7621. |
| County Court misdemeanor | The DA identifies County Court as the misdemeanor court. | County Clerk: 979-244-7680. |
| A low-grade municipal case in Bay City or Palacios | The DA identifies these city-court matters as exceptions to its ordinary prosecution coverage. | Use the named municipal court; do not assume a district-court search covers the city proceeding. |
Choose the judicial link on the County Clerk’s page
Odyssey Public Access
The County Clerk links Odyssey under Public Search. Use that judicial entry point when seeking case information, and retain the court and case reference for any copy inquiry. If the portal is unavailable, contact the clerk with the same identifying details.
Property records and index books
The adjacent property and historical-index links serve other record collections. Their displayed date ranges are not criminal-case coverage dates. A name absent from those collections does not answer whether a criminal court case exists.
