Concord Court Docket Searches
Start with the Search ARCourts public portal. The Concord Department feeds public case information into it. Got the case number from a citation, summons, or order? Type it in exactly. No number? Use first, middle, and last name in the participant fields. The organization or case-description field helps with an entity. The county and court filters narrow things further when the live screen shows them.
What the portal can display is genuinely useful: parties, judge, filings, charges and dispositions, future events, and judgments. Coverage is not promised, though. Some district matters never appear. You will not see an image of every filing, either. That is when Pamela Davis, the Concord Department chief clerk, earns her phone. Call her at 870-668-3315 if a case is missing or a hearing date is close.
- Read the source paper for the Concord Department name and case or citation number.
- Run the exact number in Search ARCourts, then search by participant if needed.
- Compare the court, case type, judge, and event list with the source paper.
- Call the Concord clerk about missing entries, copies, payment instructions, or a changed setting.
- Confirm both the hearing time and building before leaving for court.
Two Concord Court Record Locations
Concord splits its court locations. Travelers get burned by it. Pamela Davis keeps the department records at Concord City Hall, 75 Central Avenue, Concord, AR 72523. Hearings, though, normally happen at Concord Community Center, 10424 Heber Springs Road North, Concord, AR 72523. One more wrinkle comes from the official district administrative plan. If the Community Center is unavailable, court moves back to City Hall.
| Task | Normal Concord location |
|---|---|
| Speak with the clerk or request a record | Concord City Hall, 75 Central Avenue |
| Attend a scheduled hearing | Concord Community Center, 10424 Heber Springs Road North |
| Community Center unavailable | Proceedings revert to Concord City Hall |
Never assume the courtroom matches the clerk's mailing address. Dial 870-668-3315 and confirm both the time and the site. Need the fax? It is 870-668-3009.
Inside the Concord District Court
The Arkansas district-court directory names the local court the Concord Department of the Cleburne County District Court, one department of a state district court under Judge Lance Wright. Under the district administrative plan, Concord Police matters and other criminal, traffic, or violation filings lodged there land with the department. Pamela Davis is the department custodian.
This matters for any Concord court record request. The Cleburne County Circuit Clerk does not hold the ordinary Concord traffic or violation file. The local department does. Circuit felonies, substantial civil cases, domestic-relations matters, probate, and juvenile cases belong with the Circuit Clerk in Heber Springs. So match the counter to the court level and the filing site.
Concord Police Court Records
The administrative plan sends Concord Police filings straight to the Concord Department. So a police citation has a direct local custodian. Statewide search also shows its public case information. For lookup, gather the citation number, defendant name, department, and appearance date. Those four clues carry the search.
Read any result as a story told in order. Begin with the case header and court. Then check the charge description and the filing and event list. A charge is only an allegation until a disposition appears. A future event may flag the next date. The court can still issue a later reset or order, though. For urgent date questions, the Concord clerk's current instruction beats an old screen.
Finding Concord Court Dates
A Concord court date can surface in three spots. Check the citation, Search ARCourts future events, or the department's working calendar. Read the newest chronological entry rather than the first date on the screen. A continuance moves an event but leaves its old history visible. The courtroom can shift between the Community Center and City Hall. Confirming location is part of every date check.
| Date | The current date after comparison with the newest order or clerk update. |
|---|---|
| Time | The set appearance time; call if the portal or paper omits it. |
| Courtroom | Normally Concord Community Center, with City Hall as the documented fallback. |
| Judge | District Judge Lance Wright, unless a valid assignment places another judge. |
| Setting Type | Arraignment, pretrial, trial, plea, or monthly compliance review. |
The court does not presume remote attendance, and archived emergency procedures create no standing video option.
Concord Courtroom Fallback Rules
The fallback rule is refreshingly concrete: proceedings return to City Hall whenever the Community Center cannot be used. Visitors do not get a vote. The court alone decides where a session is held. A notice may name the right site, but call ahead if weather, a holiday, a court order, or another event could change the room.
Before travel: Call 870-668-3315 and confirm the date, time, and whether court is at the Community Center or City Hall.
The clerk can also tell you what kind of setting you face. Settings vary. That may be an arraignment, pretrial, trial, plea, or review. Staff will describe procedure and the current calendar. They cannot make a legal choice for a party, though.
Concord Traffic Ticket Lookups
Concord offers no official standalone citation or payment portal. So read the ticket itself. Look there for the department, response date, charge, and any mandatory appearance direction. Search ARCourts may show an online entry, but its district coverage is not guaranteed. When the record is absent or thin, use the local phone and counter.
Before paying anything, ask what legal response a payment creates. Payment can record a plea or disposition. To contest a Concord charge, use the department's process. Follow its plea and appearance steps before the citation deadline. The clerk's office sets local eligibility rules and fees for deferred disposition or a driving course. Ask there directly. The Cleburne County traffic court discussion compares all four district departments.
Concord Monthly Review Dockets
Every department in the district runs a special monthly review docket under the administrative plan. In Concord, that docket exists so people can fix noncompliance with court obligations. Nothing about it creates a separate case file. The review stays inside the district record. Use the same case number. Ask the clerk when the next review is set.
- Review docket
- A monthly compliance calendar for an existing department case.
- Reset
- A later action moving a setting to a new date.
- Future event
- A scheduled court activity listed in public case information when available.
- Disposition
- The recorded outcome for the charge or case.
A review entry on the Concord docket may contain direct instructions from the judge. Check with the Concord Department before assuming it means payment or attendance.
How Concord Cases Reach the County
Concord Department cases stay at district level. A jurisdiction question or an appeal is what pushes activity into circuit court. The Cleburne County Circuit Court holds the county's felony files. Larger civil cases sit there too. So do domestic-relations matters, probate, and juvenile cases. Arkansas law sends district appeals there. An appealed case can carry a new circuit number. Search both numbers whenever an appeal notice lists them.
Docket flow: Concord Department › Cleburne County Circuit Court › Arkansas appellate courts
Most cases never travel the full path. The path simply tells you where to look once a Concord record no longer ends at the local event list. For wider county coverage, try the Cleburne County docket search.
When Concord Records Are Missing
A missing result has many innocent causes. It could be a spelling slip or a brand-new filing. Uneven district contribution, system maintenance, an older offline file, or a lawful restriction can also hide it. Search once with the exact case number and once by name. Confirm you have Cleburne County and the Concord Department selected. Then call Pamela Davis before deciding no case exists.
ARCourts is replacing Public CourtConnect, so field labels and filters may shift during the transition. Treat the portal as a discovery layer only. It is not the clerk's certified record. It does not control what happens in the courtroom. That matters in Concord, where an online future event may not name the building clearly.
When an entry names a filing but shows no image, write down the filing date and title. Then contact City Hall. The clerk can pull the exact paper for inspection or a copy.
Note: Portal support deals with technical access. The Concord clerk handles the facts and schedule of a local case.
Who Can See Concord Court Records
Access to court records in Arkansas is governed by Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19. A public docket can sit online while its document images stay behind the clerk's counter. Protected identifiers get redacted. Sealed cases stay closed. Protected juvenile matters and anything made confidential by law or court order do too. No request overrides that, however routine it looks.
Public is not always online: Ask the Concord clerk about inspection or copies when a public entry lacks an image, while respecting every restriction.
The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act reaches public records broadly. Court case access, though, runs chiefly under Supreme Court authority and Administrative Order 19. Send any one-case copy request to the court custodian.
Concord Court Record Copies
Ordering a Concord district copy? Give the clerk the case number. Add the document or entry date, plain or certified status, and the number of copies. Include a delivery method too. No local fee schedule, payment rule, or dedicated request form is posted. Call 870-668-3315 before mailing funds or counting on a turnaround time.
A printout from the portal is not clerk certification. Ask Pamela Davis what authentication the receiving office requires. Circuit documents are different; they come from the Cleburne County Circuit Clerk. That split keeps each request with the office holding the original record.
A filed document and a transcript are not the same thing either. The Concord docket may show a hearing occurred. The event list is no word-for-word transcript. Use the assigned court reporter's process for transcripts. For an exhibit or restricted item, ask the court what access procedure applies. The clerk can explain the process. No ordinary request overrides a seal or confidentiality rule.
Concord Clerk Contact Channels
Find the Concord record counter at City Hall, 75 Central Avenue, Concord, AR 72523. The direct phone is 870-668-3315. The fax is 870-668-3009. The clerk posts no official email, public terminal, copy cutoff, parking rule, or accessibility detail, so call ahead rather than assuming an arrangement exists.

Normal court site: 10424 Heber Springs Road North
The two-site split matters most here. Record requests go to the clerk at City Hall. A hearing normally happens at the Community Center unless the court invokes its fallback. Bring the case number and name the exact item when you visit the clerk. Call before the trip about accepted payment, identification, interpreter or disability arrangements, and any retrieval delay for an older record. None of those details are published locally. Before a hearing, make the same call. Add a second set of questions: is the session in person, which building is in use, and has a later order changed the setting? That last check matters. It keeps a City Hall record request from being mistaken for a courtroom visit.
