Why We Built This Site
New Mexico recognizes public access to many court records, but custody depends on where a case was filed. A docket is the chronological record of filings, events, and settings. Sandoval County District Court keeps district matters; the Bernalillo and Cuba magistrate courts keep their own limited-jurisdiction matters; local municipal clerks maintain municipal cases. New Mexico Case Lookup can help locate public case-level information, while re:SearchNM is the registered document and event layer. The Sandoval County Clerk is a separate custodian for county administrative and recorded documents, rather than the regular state-court register of actions.
What You Will Find Here
- Docket guides: official access paths for criminal court dockets and civil court dockets
- Hearing information: ways to check a court schedule and confirm a setting with the holding court
- Case location: a practical docket search by name, number, court, or date range
- Formal records: routes for court case records, copy requests, and certification
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. It has no connection to a New Mexico court, clerk, or state agency. Its limits are clear:
- We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot ensure that every phone number, fee, or setting is current at every moment
Only the clerk or court that maintains a Sandoval case can provide its official or certified docket or record. The document must come from that records custodian.
