Holly Court Docket Lookup

Searching the Holly Court Docket

The official Holly Municipal Court page posts a calendar and the court's contact number. But it offers no public search fields. Gather your facts first. The citation number, cited name, alleged ordinance, and appearance date should all be on hand. One number reaches the record. The town or court clerk at 719-537-0255 handles direct lookup of a Holly municipal file. Beyond the phone, the Town Hall counter is another local path. A written records request is the other.

1. Read the summons for Holly's court name, the citation number, and the current appearance date.
2. Call 719-537-0255 and ask the Holly clerk to confirm the current docket setting.
3. Request the municipal docket entry or named document from Holly Town Hall when the schedule alone is not enough.
4. If Prowers County Court is named, use the free state hearing search by date and one more filter.
5. For a state Register of Action or filed document, use CoCourts or the Combined Court record form instead of the Holly calendar.

State cases use wider channels. They include the web docket, the paid CoCourts search, phone, the Combined Court counter, mail, the official document form, and facility-only inspection where allowed. Holly keeps its own records. A city file stays with Holly unless an appeal or a separate state filing creates a Prowers case.

Holly Call-Based Docket Lookup

Holly's small municipal calendar favors a phone process over a big portal. Details help the clerk find your file. A citation number beats a name alone. Include the appearance month and, if known, the ordinance or traffic description. Say what you actually want. The next setting, the chronological docket, a judgment, and other filed papers are not the same record.

Holly has no official online search with downloadable pleadings or instant status results. Never send private identifiers through an informal channel. Ask the clerk what a written request must include.

Holly Municipal Court Basics

Holly Municipal Court handles town ordinance and municipal matters. The bench sits inside a piece of rail history. Town Hall occupies a historic Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe depot at 100 Tony Garcia Drive, Holly, Colorado 81047. Court questions go to 719-537-0255. January 2025 town minutes named Kim Verhoeff municipal judge and noted low monthly citation and summons activity. That appointment gives useful context, though the town should confirm current personnel before you rely on the name.

The official Town of Holly site is the source for the town's municipal identity. Holly and Granada share a law-enforcement context. That overlap does not merge their court files. A Granada case cannot land in Holly just because an officer or meeting record mentions both towns.

Holly Depot Court Setting

Holly's courtroom sits in a historic rail depot, a distinctive spot for court records. That charm comes with a catch. Venue matters here. A Holly municipal file lives at Town Hall, not at the Prowers Combined Court counter in Lamar. The state counter holds District and County Court files. Holly keeps the town docket and municipal papers itself.

Call 719-537-0255 before you drive. Holly does not publish a public terminal, parking rules, steady counter hours, copy prices, or mail instructions for every record type. So ask directly. Can the file be inspected, or will staff send a copy? What fee applies, and which form of payment does the town accept? Written answers beat a trip built on assumptions borrowed from the state court.

A schedule question and a record request need different wording. For a Holly date, give the citation number and ask for the current setting. For a Holly file, name the exact item. Say docket, judgment, or citation copy. Ask whether the town needs a written request and how it will deliver the record, which keeps the published monthly calendar from being mistaken for the case history.

Court Dates and Settings in Holly

Holly's official 2025 schedule set municipal court for the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. July shifted to the first Wednesday. That calendar was built for one year. It cannot serve as a standing promise for later years. Call the court and compare your current summons or notice. A reset changes the next setting. It does not erase the old date from the Holly case history.

State cases run on a different calendar. A Prowers docket result card can list date, start time, duration, hearing type, location, appearance mode, and courtroom. It still does not replace a Holly municipal notice.

Holly July Calendar Exception

Holly's 2025 calendar breaks the usual monthly pattern. Someone who assumes every session lands on the second Wednesday could miss a first-Wednesday setting. July shifts to that earlier date. Patterns pulled from memory tend to age fast, and an old municipal web page from a prior year can mislead just as easily. The citation in hand and the latest notice from the court control over anything remembered.

If the Holly clerk gives you a new date, ask whether the court will issue a written reset. Keep both the old and new notices. For a Prowers state case with conflicting settings, call 719-336-7424. The two clerks cannot fix each other's calendars.

Traffic Tickets in Holly

Check the summons first. A Holly municipal citation follows whatever instructions the town prints on that paperwork. That paperwork also lists a phone line for questions. A state or county ticket is different. That one belongs to Prowers County Court, usually with a T case class. The District 15 payment system can find state tickets several ways. Search by case number, by ticket number, by name and date of birth, or by ticket number alone. Handy as it is, the payment screen is not the full case history.

Holly publishes no online fine schedule, plea rules, reset policy, defensive-driving option, or failure-to-appear fee. There is no pay-online database either. Ask the Holly clerk about all of it. Do not borrow Lamar's rules for a Holly ticket. For the full split between city and state citations, see the Prowers County traffic ticket page. Also keep two records straight. The court traffic file and the Colorado DMV driver record answer to different offices. Holly or Prowers holds the court charge, settings, plea, disposition, and money orders. DMV keeps the driving record by itself.

Holly Non-Record Court Status

Holly Ordinance 541 makes the municipal court a court not of record. In plain terms, it keeps no full trial record. A qualified court of record preserves one. That status matters. It changes where an appeal lands and how quickly the clock runs. It does not mean Holly keeps no docket or no judgment papers.

Not of record

A municipal court whose appeal follows the County Court route described by Colorado Judicial Branch guidance.

Docket

The Holly court's record of settings and case events.

Judgment

The municipal court's decision or final order, distinct from a mere citation allegation.

Appeal record

The papers sent forward under the municipal appeal process.

You can browse the index itself on the official Holly ordinance page. For a case-specific Holly order, ask Holly for the actual city file. The Holly clerk can tell you which papers sit where.

Where Holly Cases Go

Holly municipal cases begin and stay in the town court. An appeal can move them up. State misdemeanors, traffic cases, civil matters within statutory limits, small claims, and evictions are different. All of them run through Prowers County Court. Felonies and general-jurisdiction matters go to Colorado District Court in the Fifteenth Judicial District. One office covers both state levels. The Combined Court clerk in Lamar keeps those files.

Docket flow: Holly Municipal Court › Prowers County Court › Colorado District Court, Fifteenth Judicial District

For Holly, that first arrow carries a precise appeal meaning. The town court is not of record. It does not mean every municipal charge jumps to Prowers automatically. Search the city file first. If an appeal is truly opened, a new county case number is the one to use.

Holly Fourteen-Day Appeal Route

Colorado's official municipal appeal rules send a not-of-record court's appeal to County Court. The filing window is 14 days. It runs after the municipal order. Holly's ordinance spells that route out. Compare that with the 35-day District Court route available from a qualified court of record.

1. Ask Holly for the judgment date and the municipal case identity.
2. Use the state municipal appeal guidance and current forms.
3. File within the applicable 14-day period and follow instructions on the papers to transmit.
4. Keep the Holly number and any new Prowers County Court number.

The deadline runs from the order itself. It does not start when someone later finds a web result, so contact the court promptly. The free Prowers docket may show a later county setting, but that display is not the filing.

Holly Small-Docket Context

Holly ranked second among Prowers County's five incorporated towns in the 2020 Census. It counted 837 residents. Official January 2025 Holly board minutes reported low monthly citation and summons activity. A docket that small explains a clerk-centered access model. It does not prove the point on its own. A missing Holly web portal does not mean no court or no case.

A small Holly docket can still hold time-sensitive orders. Confirm directly. The Holly meeting material offers administrative context, but the Holly court file remains the source for the charge, plea, setting, and judgment in a given matter.

Holly Court Record Access Rules

Ask the town for Holly municipal records. Requests go to the town clerk or court contact. Try phone, Town Hall, or the written method the town specifies. State files travel different roads. Prowers Combined Court offers a free hearing search. CoCourts, phone, counter, mail, a record form, and facility-only inspection when allowed fill out the list. Holly itself posts no public terminal and no stated municipal copy fee. Expect to ask.

A blank Holly search result proves very little, since the town runs no anonymous portal. Verify the court, name the exact record you need, and hold onto both case numbers when an appeal creates a municipal and a county file.
