How the Angelina County Court Calendar Works
The Angelina County Judicial Web Search offers a Court Calendar option. It sits apart from Criminal Case Records and from Civil, Family & Probate Case Records. Think of them as two different tools. The calendar answers one question. When is this matter set? A case register, by contrast, walks through the broader event history of the file. Exact calendar filters stay hidden behind a login loop that still redirected in September 2026. The portal does not show them to casual visitors.
Angelina County publishes no county-wide weekly export. It states no update interval. There is no uniform courtroom list or common docket-call schedule. Work with the live controls the court docket portal presents. Fields like court, judge, date, time, courtroom, cause number, style, and setting type are plausible calendar concepts. Treat them as unconfirmed until Odyssey itself lists them. For hearing detail documented at the state level, re:SearchTX is the independent source.
Angelina Court Coordinator Directory
Coordinators for four county-level courts list direct phone lines on official pages: the 159th District Court, the 217th District Court, and both County Courts at Law. A coordinator is the person to call. Ask about a current setting, a reset, or which court has your case. The clerk keeps the filed notices, orders, and docket. Have the cause number, court, party role, and the date from your notice ready when you call.
| Court | Calendar contact | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| 159th District Court | Krystal Barrett, coordinator | 936-639-3913 |
| 217th District Court | Robin Lowe, coordinator | 936-637-0217 |
| County Court at Law No. 1 | Lana Toll or case coordinator | 936-639-2204 |
| County Court at Law No. 2 | Kristen Russell or case coordinator | 936-634-8984 |
Ask what kind of setting the date is: docket call, motion hearing, plea, trial, or reset. Also confirm where to appear and whether a separate order governs how the appearance happens.
Angelina County Court Date Lookups
Begin with the cause number and court on your newest notice. Run that through the county Court Calendar module. If nothing appears, open the matching case module and look for a notice of setting or reset. re:SearchTX adds a Hearings tab for statewide checking, though the court of record always controls.
- Read the cause number, court, and appearance date from the newest notice.
- Open Odyssey and choose Court Calendar rather than a jail or payment module.
- Use only the date, court, name, or cause fields shown by the live form.
- Compare the calendar line with the case docket and any signed scheduling order.
- Call the coordinator, clerk, justice precinct, or municipal court to confirm the newest setting.
- Check with counsel before appearing when counsel represents a party.
Other routes work too. Call the District Clerk at 936-634-4312 or the County Clerk at 936-634-8339, check individual JP clerks and city court pages, or read Hudson's public docket-call PDFs and any posted courtroom or courthouse notices. A citation payment site is not a full calendar.
Angelina Family Calendar Assignment
Family settings confuse people. Local rules split the work among four courts. Cases filed through the District Clerk on or after September 1, 2006 rotate numerically between County Court at Law No. 1 and No. 2. Older matters are different. Cases already pending in a district court before that date stay there. They sit until the pending issues wrap up, subject to the transfer terms. Track any later motion. Use the existing cause number and pending court. A judge from any of the four courts may sign an order. The action still goes into the minutes of the court where the case actually sits. The signing judge alone cannot tell you the calendar. Compare the cause number, pending court, docket entry, and notice. For family and civil questions, CCL1's contact is 936-639-2204 and CCL2's is 936-634-8984.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Read an Angelina County setting line as a compact schedule record. The fields that follow are details to verify with the court, not a description of labels on the Odyssey form. One missing piece can leave a correct date incomplete.
| Date | The scheduled calendar day on the newest notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed call or appearance time, which may differ from when the case is reached. |
| Courtroom | The room or court location confirmed by the assigned court. |
| Judge or court | The court that owns the setting, not merely a judge who signed an order. |
| Setting type | Arraignment, pretrial, motion, plea, hearing, docket call, or trial. |
| Status | Active, reset, continued, canceled, or removed if the source states it. |
A trial setting does not prove a trial happened. A docket call may only cover readiness and scheduling. Any notice of setting can be replaced by a later one, so keep the newest court document in hand.
Angelina Municipal Docket Calls
Hudson offers the clearest city calendar in the county. Its official Docket Call page posts public PDF links for 2025 and 2026. It defines the court docket as the court's schedule. The municipal clerk answers at 936-875-2358 extension 104. Even a posted city docket call still needs confirmation from the court.
Huntington treats the appearance date on the citation as the working start. That first appearance covers rights, the charge, and the plea. Diboll's sources disagree. The city page names a 12-day contact period while a newer plea form says 20 days. Verify the live deadline at 936-829-4761. Zavalla tells citation holders to contact court staff before using TrafficPayment. None of these city routes replaces the county calendar for felony, civil, family, or probate cases.
When a Court Date Moves
A reset or a continuance moves a setting. It does not dismiss the case. Calendar lines can shift after a motion, a court order, a scheduling conflict, or simple administrative action. How fast Odyssey reflects those changes is not fixed. Trust the newest signed order, the latest filed notice, and the coordinator's confirmation over anything older.
When a setting vanishes from the public calendar, open the case register and look for a reset or continuance entry. Then call the assigned coordinator and ask for the current date, time, setting type, and place. A represented party should loop in counsel too. After the court issues a new order, a payment page, an old docket-call PDF, or a prior notice counts for nothing.
Reset check: Confirm the cause number and assigned court, then compare the latest docket entry, court notice, and coordinator response.
Angelina Justice Court Schedules
Every Justice of the Peace precinct runs its own clerk and calendar. JP1 answers at 936-634-8334, with court hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. JP2 uses 936-637-3117 and lists hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. JP3, reached at 936-422-5533, also covers a Zavalla sub-courthouse route. JP4, at 936-829-3535, runs Monday through Thursday. It is closed Friday. So no single call covers all four precincts.
These justice courts hear fine-only Class C and traffic matters, along with civil claims within their jurisdiction. The precinct printed on the citation or filing is the real key. It matters more than any broad county docket search. JP2 links a TrafficPayment form that can pull a citation payment record from identifying fields. It is not the full court calendar. For the appearance date and current status, call that precinct clerk directly.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Act quickly after a missed setting. Contact the assigned court, the clerk, the coordinator, and counsel. Give them the cause number and the missed date. Ask whether the court has entered a new setting, an order, a warrant, a bond action, or some other event. Court staff can walk you through procedure, but they cannot give legal advice.
Missed a setting? A missed criminal or citation date can lead to failure-to-appear consequences, a warrant, or bond action where the law and court permit.
Call the assigned court at once and obtain the current setting and required next step.
Consult a licensed attorney about a missed Angelina County setting before making assumptions about the case.
The court can act without you. In a civil matter, missing a hearing may let the judge proceed, depending on notice and procedure. Get the resulting order from the clerk. A missing calendar entry does not undo that action.
Angelina Court Recording Limits
The county court pages link a standing order that bars electronic recordings. That ban says nothing about whether a remote hearing exists. And a remote appearance is never permission to record. Ask the assigned court beforehand about the attendance method and the technology the setting requires.
Calendars and documents are two different things. A hearing can appear on a calendar. A family, juvenile, sealed, or role-restricted filing can still stay hidden. Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12 governs access to judicial records. The clerk supplies the public case documents. A calendar may show only a setting type. Request the notice or order that defines the proceeding.
