Searching the Real County Court Docket
Start with the iDocket guest search for a free Real County docket lookup. Pick Texas, then Real County. Type the litigant's last name. Add a first name if you have it. Partial names work too, though a full name trims the list down. Before trusting any match, confirm the court and the case category line up.
- Identify the court from the citation, pleading, notice, or prior record.
- Search iDocket by state, county, last name, and optional first name.
- Compare likely matches by court, category, filing date, party role, and case number.
- Use re:SearchTX as a statewide cross-check, not a guarantee of Real County coverage.
- Call the responsible clerk when the case, document, or current setting is missing.
Paid subscribers get more: case-number search, filters for court and case type, attorney search, Soundex, date ranges, case history, calendars, and document images. The free index and the paid detail are simply two levels of access to the same docket system.
Two Real County Docket Clerks
Real County splits its court records between two clerks. Current county pages list D'Ann Roosa in both roles. An OCA directory calls the office a combo clerk. The files each office keeps are not the same. District criminal, civil, family, and juvenile matters go to the District Clerk. Constitutional County Court misdemeanors, probate, and other county-court records go to the County Clerk.
Justice cases stay with the Justice of the Peace clerk. That covers traffic, eviction, small claims, debt, and anything else within justice-court limits. A city ordinance or Class C case belongs to the municipal clerk. That applies if a city court has jurisdiction. Camp Wood and Leakey list no current municipal directory entry. Confirm which court issued the ticket.
Start with the court. A failed Real County docket search often means the request went to the wrong clerk, not that the case does not exist.
Inside a Real County Court Docket
A Real County court docket is a chronological register, not the whole case file. iDocket labels what you will see: Case History, Parties, Attorneys, Services, financial transactions, process, notices, and document images. Real County publishes no list of its event codes, so ask the clerk about any abbreviation you do not recognize instead of guessing.
| Case number | The court-assigned identifier used to retrieve the record. |
|---|---|
| Court and category | The court plus a broad civil or criminal grouping. |
| Parties and attorneys | People, entities, roles, and lawyers linked to the case. |
| Filing date | The date a case or document was received and recorded. |
| Case History | The ordered list of filings, settings, process, and case events. |
| Disposition | The recorded outcome, which is distinct from a hearing date. |
| Document image | A scan or e-filed PDF that may require subscriber or fee access. |
A printout from the web is not a certified copy. When you need a current, complete, or authenticated record, the file the clerk holds controls.
Real County Docket Search Fields
The iDocket help page documents more search fields than the public guest screen actually offers, so do not expect all of them for free. Guest lookup is mainly name based. Most filters and detail sit in the advanced and case-history layers.
| Field | Type | Access note |
|---|---|---|
| State and County | Dropdowns | Select Texas and Real County |
| Last and first name | Text | Partial last names work; a fuller name narrows results |
| Category and case type | Dropdowns | Advanced search; exact local choices were not exposed |
| Court and party role | Dropdown or radio | Advanced filter for court and plaintiff, defendant, or either |
| Attorney and Soundex | Text and checkbox | Subscriber search options |
| Filing or disposition range | Date fields | Uses MM/DD/YYYY |
| Case number | Text | Subscriber route; no Real format was published |
Copy the exact number on the court notice for any Real County docket search. Keep the letters, punctuation, and leading zeroes just as they appear. Guessing at a cause-number pattern will not work.
Courts That Keep Dockets in Real County
Courthouse business in Real County splits between two spots. The 38th District Court hears district matters for the county, but its published primary location sits in Uvalde. Back home, the district records office operates in Leakey. County and justice court matters each take their own local route, so the docket you need depends on which office keeps it.
| Court | Docket covers | Where to search or ask |
|---|---|---|
| 38th District Court | District criminal, civil, and family matters | iDocket and Real County District Clerk |
| Constitutional County Court | County misdemeanors, probate, county matters | iDocket and Real County County Clerk |
| Justice of the Peace | Traffic, small claims, eviction, debt, Class C work | iDocket or JP clerk |
| Municipal Court, if applicable | City ordinance and Class C matters | Issuing city or municipal clerk |
| Fourth Court of Appeals | Appeals from state trial courts | Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio |
Federal matters never touch the Real County court docket. They run through PACER and the Western District of Texas.
Real County Dockets Span Two Cities
The Real County Courthouse and county clerk offices sit at 146 Highway 83 South. That is in Leakey. The OCA district-court directory, though, lists the 38th District Court's primary location as 100 N Getty, Suite 17. That address is in Uvalde. So a Leakey mailing address does not guarantee the hearing happens there.
For a district-court setting and its exact location, call 830-278-3913. Records questions go to the Real County District Clerk at 830-232-5202. For county-court dates, try the County Judge at 830-232-5304 or the County Clerk at 830-232-5202. JP matters use 830-232-6630.
The official Real County home page displays the courthouse.
The courthouse anchors the county's records, but every Real County district hearing location still needs direct confirmation.
How to Find Court Dates and Settings
A Real County court date can surface in four places: iDocket's calendar, a case-history event or notice, the court or coordinator's live schedule, and a courthouse posting or clerk response. The county publishes no guaranteed daily posting or public-terminal schedule. An empty online search does not prove no setting exists.
In iDocket, choose Court. Pick the month, date, and year. Hit View. The vendor warns that calendars may omit activity and can change. Weigh the newest notice against any earlier reset or continuance. A setting is just a scheduled event; the outcome comes later.
The full Real County court dates process walks through each confirmation route. Verify the date, time, courtroom, judge or court, setting type, case number, and location. Use the office that controls the schedule. Do that before you drive anywhere.
Two Real County Docket Layers
iDocket and re:SearchTX cover some of the same ground. They are not the same tool. iDocket is the named local vendor route, listing Real County district, county, and JP components. re:SearchTX works statewide. Its searches cover Cases, Filings, Text in Documents, and Hearings. Filters, detail pages, exports, and saved searches are described in its guide.
How deep Real County material goes in re:SearchTX is not guaranteed. Verify coverage with the clerk. The Texas Judicial Council documents a criminal document-coverage gap. It also notes a historical boundary in the system. Use it to cross-check a name or court anywhere in Texas. Return to the local clerk for the official file. The Texas Judicial Branch is blunt here. No single statewide trial-court portal replaces the responsible district, county, justice, or municipal clerk.
The question shapes the portal choice. A broad name search across Texas may begin in re:SearchTX. A known Real County matter is more likely to start with the local iDocket route. If neither source displays the document, note the case number. Request it from the clerk. Detailed iDocket history may include filings, process, financial entries, correspondence, and images. Those items can sit behind subscriber access. Statewide detail depends on portal coverage and account rights. Neither screen is the official certified record.
eFileTexas plays a different role. It is the filing channel. It is not the public Real County docket search.
Public Access to Court Dockets
Court access in Texas answers to more rules. Texas Rule 12 governs judicial administrative records. Government Code Chapter 552 sets judiciary information apart from ordinary agency records, and Civil Rule 76a supplies an open-record presumption with standards for sealing.
Access depends on the record. Civil court files are generally presumed open under Rule 76a, while juvenile, confidential, sealed, and protected identifiers remain limited by law or order.
A case missing online has an explanation. The file may be paper-only, held by another clerk, outside portal coverage, restricted, sealed, or thrown off by a name mismatch. Ask the clerk which one applies. Skip any workaround for protected material.
Real County Docket Versus Case File
The docket is the index. The case file holds the rest: the pleadings, motions, service returns, notices, orders, judgments, and exhibits behind those entries. iDocket can display document images for some participating courts, though that does not prove every Real County file is scanned or free.
Copy products differ too. Texas law sets district-clerk certified paper copies at a $5 certificate or seal plus $1 per page. A noncertified district paper copy runs $1 per page. A search without the docket number costs $5. County-clerk certified copies carry a $5 certificate plus $1 per page. JP certified copies cost $2 for the first page. $0.25 covers each added page.
Confirm the current charge and delivery method before sending funds. County Clerk recording charges are a separate product, never a universal court-copy price.
Docket Records at the Clerk's Office
The counter is your fallback. Use it when a Real County docket is missing online or a certified document is needed. The clerk posts no office hours, room numbers, counter cutoffs, or public-terminal listing online. Call first.

The county's current clerk page warns the public not to use leakeyclerk@gmail.com. That same page carries the assigned office listing for the clerk.
The live county page controls. When its clerk name conflicts with an older OCA directory PDF, treat the county page as the authority. A direct phone call is the safest check.
Real County Written Docket Requests
Ask the clerk first for a court file. County-held administrative information goes through the official public-information route. That path accepts mail to PO Box 446, Leakey, TX 78873, fax to 830-232-6040, or delivery at the County Judge's office in the courthouse. The county offers no separate web form.
Describe the request precisely. Name the court, give the case number if known, state the date range, and identify the exact docket sheet or document. Say whether a plain or certified copy is required. Include a delivery address and a contact route for clarification. A judgment is not the full file. A docket sheet is not every document named in it. A narrow description helps the office locate the record and prepare a sound cost estimate. Ask about paper versus electronic delivery, accepted payment methods, and any restricted portions. The county sets no standard turnaround or identification rule, so confirm those details directly.
The county lists standard paper at $0.10 per page and labor at $15 per hour. No labor charge applies to 50 or fewer paper pages. An estimate above $100 may lead the county to seek a deposit, bond, or prepayment. Respond to a cost estimate within ten days. Otherwise the county treats the request as withdrawn. These county rates never replace statutory clerk-copy charges.
Real County Docket Terms
Vendor labels matter. They help separate a scheduled event from a filed item or a final result. Real County publishes no docket-code legend. Spell entries out in full words, and ask the clerk about any shorthand.
- Case History
- iDocket's ordered view of filings, process, notices, services, and related events.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event that may be reset or continued.
- Disposition
- The recorded outcome, not merely a hearing date.
- Service
- Delivery of court process or notice to a party.
- Certified copy
- A clerk-authenticated copy, distinct from a free web printout.
- Restricted or sealed
- Material limited by law or order; absence from search is not itself proof of sealing.
iDocket says its images redact Social Security numbers. Each one carries a retrieval watermark. Public access never permits republication of protected identifiers.
Real County Court Dockets by City
Real County has two incorporated cities, not five. Camp Wood held about 517 residents in 2020 Census-based place data. Leakey held about 315. The figures are city context, not docket counts.
Camp Wood Docket Search
No official municipal docket portal was found. Start with City Hall to identify the issuing court, then use the JP route when the citation belongs to Real County.
Leakey Docket Search
The Real County Courthouse, District Clerk, County Clerk, and JP are the practical local routes. No separate Leakey municipal docket page was located.
A missing city entry here does not mean no court has authority over the matter. Pull out the ticket or notice, find the court it names, and call that city or county office to confirm where the Real County docket lives.
Map and Directions to the Real County Courthouse
The Real County District and County Clerk keep district criminal, civil, family, and county-court records at the Real County Courthouse in Leakey. The 38th District Court is assigned to Real County, but its published primary location is 100 N Getty, Suite 17, in Uvalde, so a district hearing may not actually take place in the Leakey courthouse. The Justice of the Peace and the County Judge's public-information office also work from the Leakey courthouse.
The county has not published courthouse hours, a parking policy, or a security-screening procedure, so call the clerk at 830-232-5202 before a trip. Confirm any district-court setting with the 38th District Court at 830-278-3913, since the Uvalde primary location means a hearing date does not automatically mean the Leakey courthouse.
