Prowers County Traffic Court Records
Venue follows the agency that wrote the ticket. State and county citations usually become a T-class case in Prowers County Court. A Lamar police summons goes to Lamar Municipal Court instead. Holly handles its own municipal matters. Granada, Wiley, and Hartman tickets should be read straight off the paper, since the issuing agency, court name, and appearance instructions printed there tell you where to go.
The Prowers County Combined Court clerk keeps state traffic records for the county. City traffic and ordinance files sit with each municipal clerk. That custody split decides where you search, pay, request copies, and ask about a missed court date.
Prowers Ticket Court Address
Read the summons as your routing document. It names Prowers County Court at 301 South Main Street, Suite 300, for state cases, which means the Prowers state docket and the District 15 payment route. It names Lamar Municipal Court at 102 East Parmenter Street, second floor, for city tickets; that clerk answers at 719-336-1355. For Holly court questions, call 719-537-0255.
Fast venue check: Do not assume that the place of the stop identifies the court. The court name and address printed on the summons control the first lookup.
Some Prowers traffic cases move through criminal procedure in Lamar. That applies to speed contests, reckless driving, careless driving, or speeding 25 miles per hour or more over the limit. Ask the clerk how your case will proceed.
Looking Up a Traffic Ticket
Try every Prowers channel before giving up. A payment portal may find your state account but skip the full ROA or a municipal case. Phone and counter service still matter when a ticket is new, the number is unreadable, or you searched the wrong Prowers court.
- Read the court name, address, citation number, and appearance date on the paper ticket.
- For Prowers County Court, search the free state docket by date plus the year, T case class, and sequence where known.
- Use the District 15 payment lookup by case or ticket number, or by name and date of birth, only after confirming the state court venue.
- Call 719-336-7424 or visit the Combined Court counter if the state ticket does not appear.
- For a Lamar summons, call or visit Lamar Municipal Court; mail is also a verified payment route for payable citations.
- For Holly or another town summons, contact the municipal custodian named on the citation rather than forcing the case into the county database.

Prowers Lamar Citation Process
Lamar Municipal Court in Prowers County hears city criminal, traffic, juvenile, and ordinance cases. There is no anonymous city case database. Access runs through the summons, city instructions, the clerk's phone, the counter, and mail. Sessions generally fall on the first and third Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Trials normally start at 5:00 p.m. on court dates.
The official Lamar Municipal Court page posts the citation process, schedule, and contacts. Payment methods and appearance rules appear there too.
The city runs its own municipal workflow rather than a countywide citation database. Cannot make the first appearance? Call before that date. Lamar allows one extension of up to two weeks. Defendants under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign the required form and attend. Ask for a witness subpoena early. The deadline is three weeks before trial.
How to Find Your Traffic Court Date
Start with the appearance date printed on the ticket. For a Prowers County Court case, check it against the free docket result and your latest court notice. A traffic case number often runs year, T class, then sequence, like 2025T100. City tickets work differently. With no public calendar, call the municipal clerk.
| Citation or case number | The ticket identifier or Colorado year-class-sequence number. |
|---|---|
| Court | Prowers County Court or the municipal court named on the summons. |
| Date and time | The appearance, advisement, trial, or later hearing setting. |
| Hearing type | The task scheduled, which may not be a trial. |
| Appearance mode | IN PERSON or VIRTUAL only when the court publishes that instruction. |
| Status | Use the ROA or clerk record for plea and disposition, not a calendar card alone. |
If the ticket and the online calendar disagree, call the Prowers court that controls the case. The Prowers County court dates resource lays out the full state and municipal confirmation chain.
Prowers Holly Ticket Calendar
Holly Municipal Court posted a 2025 schedule. Court sits the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. July moves to the first Wednesday. An annual schedule changes, so verify current dates by phone. Ordinance 541 makes the Holly court a municipal court not of record. Appeals from that court go to County Court. The official state guide sets a 14-day deadline to start one.
The official Holly Municipal Court page carries the monthly calendar and contact number.
The posted Holly schedule supports a phone-based docket check, not an online case database. Holly and Granada may share law-enforcement context, but their files are not kept together. Follow the court actually named on your citation.
Pay or Contest a Ticket
A payable Lamar citation must be paid before the appearance date. The city treats payment as a guilty plea. Colorado DMV gets the conviction. Mandatory-appearance tickets cannot be settled by mail alone. To contest one, you appear and hear the rights advisement. Plead not guilty and get a trial date.
| Paying | Contesting |
|---|---|
| Available only when the citation says it is payable | Appear and enter a not-guilty plea |
| Payment must arrive before the appearance date | The judge sets a trial date |
| Lamar accepts mail by check or money order; counter payment also accepts cash, Visa, and MasterCard | City attorney or officer and properly subpoenaed witnesses attend |
| Payment acts as a guilty plea | The court decides the contested charge |
Failure to respond: Lamar can report a driving-privilege default or cancellation action to Colorado DMV after a failure to pay or appear. Court-ordered warrant or default consequences may also follow.
Do not assume a deferred disposition or traffic course is on the table. The official Lamar page publishes no current eligibility terms or costs for those options, so ask the clerk directly.
Prowers Lamar Timing Fee
The clock matters on a Lamar ticket. The official Prowers notice sets the timing. $60 in court fees applies once 20 days pass from the citation. Respond early. Keep in mind, though, that this timing rule does not make every Prowers ticket payable, and it never overrides the appearance instructions printed on the summons itself.
Paying by mail is an option when Prowers payment is permitted. Send a check or money order to Lamar Municipal Court at 102 East Parmenter Street, Lamar, Colorado 81052, or use one of the approved Prowers counter methods. Need a short reset? Call the Prowers clerk before the first appearance.
A state ticket works differently, so follow the District 15 instructions instead. There, all fines and fees come due on sentencing day, and a payment-plan application adds a $25 processing fee per year on every case.
Traffic Court Record vs Driving Record
These are two distinct Prowers files, and different offices hold them. The Prowers court that decided the citation keeps the case record. Colorado DMV keeps the driver record. In the court file you will find the citation, the charge, the plea, settings, the disposition, and any financial orders. The DMV file is separate, tracking convictions and other licensing details that Prowers courts report.
| Court traffic record | Driver record | |
|---|---|---|
| Custodian | Prowers County Combined Court clerk or municipal clerk | Colorado DMV |
| Shows | Citation, settings, plea, disposition, and court financial orders | Convictions and state licensing information |
| How to get it | Court docket, ROA, or clerk record request | Colorado DMV record channel |
Each request serves its own purpose. The Prowers court document comes from the court that decided the citation, not from a DMV search.
Prowers Traffic Record Custodian
Do not confuse the two clerks. The Prowers County Clerk and Recorder is an elected Prowers office. It handles elections, recording, licenses, and motor vehicles. It is not the custodian of state traffic-court files. Ticket files for Prowers County Court sit with the Judicial Branch Clerk of Court in Suite 300. The names sound alike inside one courthouse. A request can easily land at the wrong counter. The official elected Clerk and Recorder page lists that office's separate duties.
Reading that office page helps separate motor-vehicle administration from the judicial case file the Clerk of Court maintains. Municipal cases add one more layer. A Lamar or Holly record stays with that city unless an appeal or a separate state filing creates a Prowers County Court record.
Copies and Fees
For a Prowers County Court ticket, start with the state Record/Document Request Form. Pick Ticket, Register of Action, Disposition or Sentence Order, or another exact document. The fees are simple: a plain copy runs $0.25 per single-sided page, certification adds $20 per document plus page cost, and a name search costs $5 when you lack the case number.
| Item | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single-sided copy | $0.25 per page | $15 per-case cap for parties or attorneys; no cap for nonparties |
| Double-sided copy | $0.50 per sheet | Official state fee list |
| Certified copy | $20 per document | Page charges may also apply |
| Name search | $5 | Use when the case number is unknown |
| Off-site retrieval | Actual cost | Possible for an older state file |
Municipal copy charges are a different story. The local pages do not publish a Prowers city fee schedule. Ask the Prowers city clerk for a quote, and do not assume the state fee list applies to a city file.
Prowers Ticket Fallback Chain
No single database covers every Prowers County traffic ticket. Start with the citation itself. It tells you the venue, so follow the chain that matches. A state case can go through the free docket, the District 15 payment lookup, the Combined Court phone or counter, CoCourts for an ROA, or the record form for documents. A municipal case runs through the city clerk's phone, counter, mail route, and published calendar.
Expect some friction along the way. Older state files can require off-site retrieval. Restricted material can demand identification, and a freshly issued ticket may not appear yet. None of that means the citation vanished. Granada, Wiley, and Hartman have no city courts of their own. Do not invent them. When the summons is unclear, call Prowers County Combined Court and the issuing agency. Then confirm which custodian holds the file before you pay or request a copy.
