Case Information, How can I find out information about a case?
There are several ways to obtain case information:
PACER (“Public Access to Court Electronic Records”) ELECTRONIC ACCESS: If you have a PACER login and password, you can look up your case in the court’s electronic filing system using your PACER login.
To utilize PACER you must first register with the PACER Service Center. For more information please contact the PACER Service Center at:
PACER Service Center
P.O. Box 780549
San Antonio, TX 78278-0549
Telephone: (800) 676-6856
Web site: www.pacer.gov
PACER access provides complete docket information and images of filed documents for a cost of .10¢ per page. If document access fees do not exceed $15.00 a quarter, no billing occurs.
- COURTHOUSE ACCESS - Public computers are available in each Clerk's office to view or print imaged documents, docket reports or forms. The fee for printing from a public terminal is 10¢ per page. The Clerk’s office accepts cash or credit card for printing fees*. Older paper case files may also be reviewed unless they have been transferred to the Federal Records Center. It is best to call in advance to determine if an older file is still at the Clerk’s office or has been transferred.
- TELEPHONE ACCESS - Our Multi-Court Voice Case Information System (MCVCIS) allows callers free access to limited case information by phone (e.g. name of debtor, case number, judge, date filed, chapter, attorney, trustee, whether there are assets, and case status - such as discharge date and closed date) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from any touch tone telephone. The MCVCIS toll free phone number is: (866)-222-8029
*Effective July 21, 2025, cash will not be accepted as a form of payment unless an exception based on exigent circumstances is made by the Clerk of Court.
