How the Cleburne County Court Calendar Works
Where does a Cleburne County setting actually show up? Four official places, each with its own job. Search ARCourts may list a future event inside public case information. The county's circuit-judge and district-judge pages carry annual calendar links. The assigned judge or district department keeps the working calendar. The filing clerk's docket records the setting and any later scheduling action. A broad calendar tells you court days. A case event ties a date to one file.
The court holding the hearing is your best operational source. Circuit cases are assigned among four divisions of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit. District cases go to the Heber Springs, Greers Ferry, Concord, or Quitman department. Judge Lance Wright presides over the four district departments. Circuit division assignments appear in the case record. The county offers no standalone daily-docket database online.
The district-judge page is the county's route to district court and its calendar.
View the Cleburne County district judge and calendar page.
That official page ties the public calendar to the local court that can confirm any Cleburne County district setting.
Four Cleburne Court Schedule Sources
Work the Cleburne County sources as a chain. Start with your summons, citation, notice, or order. It names the court and may include appearance instructions. Search ARCourts comes next. Its chronological events can reveal a later reset. The Cleburne County calendar explains when a judge or department sits. A direct call to the court resolves missing time, courtroom, or last-minute status. The clerk's counter and any posted docket at the courthouse are the in-person fallback.
| Source | What it can show | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Notice or order | Court, department, date, time, and appearance terms | Identify the correct starting point |
| Search ARCourts | Future event plus the case event history | Check for a newer filing or reset |
| Annual calendar link | Judge or department court days | Understand the broader session pattern |
| Direct court or clerk | Current operational setting details | Confirm a close or unclear date |
If counsel is involved, check the attorney's current instruction too. A portal line never overrides a signed order or direct direction from the court.
Cleburne County Court Date Lookups
Use the exact Cleburne County case number on the official Search ARCourts portal route when you can. A participant name works as the alternate key. Make sure the result names Cleburne County. It should also name the right court or department. Open the event history, not just the future-events block. An older scheduled date can stay in the history. A later Cleburne County order may have changed the real setting.
- Read the latest notice, citation, summons, or order for the court, department, date, time, and appearance terms.
- Search the case number or participant name and inspect both future events and the newest chronological entries.
- Open the county's current circuit or district calendar link to check the broader court day.
- Call the assigned circuit division or district department to confirm the date, time, setting type, and building.
- If online tools fail, contact or visit the filing clerk and ask about the case record or posted session docket.
Need a voice on the line? Heber Springs can be reached at 501-362-6585. Greers Ferry is 501-825-7172. Concord is 870-668-3315. Quitman is 501-589-3512. Circuit case information starts with the Circuit Clerk at 501-362-8149. The assigned judge's office is the better source for urgent calendar status.
The Judiciary directory groups all four Cleburne departments with their direct contacts.
See the Arkansas district-court directory.
Those department rows supply the fallback numbers whenever an online Cleburne County court date cannot be confirmed.
Cleburne Schedule Has a Concord Split
Concord is Cleburne County's most important location check. Pamela Davis keeps the department clerk counter at Concord City Hall, 75 Central Avenue. Where do the proceedings occur? Cleburne County court proceedings normally take place at Concord Community Center, 10424 Heber Springs Road North. If the community center is unavailable, the session returns to City Hall. A date alone is not enough there. Confirm the time and building together by calling 870-668-3315.
The other department venues are simpler. Heber Springs district sessions use the Cleburne County Courts Building at 922 South 9th Street. Greers Ferry proceedings and clerk work happen at Greers Ferry City Hall, 8739 Edgemont Road. Quitman proceedings and the clerk are at Quitman City Hall, #5 2nd Street. Where does circuit work happen? Circuit filings and the clerk counter sit in the county courthouse at 301 West Main Street in Heber Springs.
Archived county notices preserve the direct scheduling contacts used across the departments.
Review the county's archived court contact notices.
That archived notice supports the direct-call fallback. Still, old emergency appearance methods are not current remote-hearing authority.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
A complete Cleburne County court setting connects five fields. They are date, time, place, judge or court, and event type. Search ARCourts may supply some or all of them. An annual calendar shows the court day but may omit the individual case. If time or location is blank, call the court. That matters most for Concord and for any case touched by a recent continuance, substitute assignment, weather issue, or emergency notice.
| Date | The scheduled day, checked against the latest order and event entry. |
|---|---|
| Time | The session or individual time. Ask whether it is a docket call or a case-specific start. |
| Courtroom | The building and room, when supplied. Confirm the separate Concord hearing venue. |
| Judge | The assigned judge or substitute identified by the current court record. |
| Setting type | Arraignment, pretrial, motion hearing, review, plea, trial, status conference, or another event. |
A setting label only describes the purpose of the appearance. It is not a final outcome. A review docket, for instance, is a recurring compliance setting in the underlying district case.
Cleburne Monthly Review Court Schedule
Cleburne County department sessions must happen at least monthly. That rule comes from the district administrative plan. Arkansas Code section 16-17-138 allows the judge and governing body to waive it. The plan goes further. Every Cleburne County department runs a special monthly review docket. These review settings exist so people can deal with noncompliance with court obligations. Keep one thing clear: they are not a separate searchable case system.
A review event belongs to the regular Heber Springs, Greers Ferry, Concord, or Quitman case. Look up the original case number, scan the future events, and call the department next. Confirm that the review is still current. Ask whether you must appear. Ask which place applies and whether the judge has signed anything new. A payment, a phone call, or an old setting never removes the duty to appear. That duty stands on its own.

Confirm each Cleburne County review date with its own department clerk before you count on it.
When a Court Date Moves
A continuance or reset only moves a Cleburne County setting through court action. The old date may sit in the event history forever. Its visibility proves nothing about whether it is current. Read the newest entry. Then hunt for a later future event or a signed order. A filed continuance request does not move the hearing by itself. The judge must act. The docket has to be read far enough forward to find that action.
Plenty of other things can disturb a session too. Cancellations, assignment changes, weather, holidays, conflicts, and emergencies all play a part. Trust the court's latest instruction above all. The Arkansas Supreme Court assignment-order index shows substitute assignments happen. That means the judge on an early notice may not be the judge who sits later. Call the assigned division or department when a change is close. Do not wait for a public portal refresh.
Note: Keep the old notice for context. Follow the newest signed order or direct Cleburne County court instruction instead.
Cleburne Court Schedule Terms
Short labels on a setting can hide real differences. An arraignment or first appearance takes up the criminal charge, rights, plea, counsel, release, and future schedule as they apply. A pretrial setting checks readiness and scheduling. A motion hearing lets the court hear argument or evidence on a filed request. That request is not a ruling. A status conference measures progress. Bench and jury trials decide the merits through different fact-finders.
- Review docket
- The monthly Cleburne district compliance setting documented in the administrative plan.
- Continuance
- Court action moving a scheduled event to a later date.
- Pretrial
- A readiness and scheduling event held before trial.
- Motion hearing
- A setting for a judge to consider a particular filed request.
- Status conference
- A progress check used to manage the next steps in a case.
District civil and small-claims settings may be a hearing or a trial in whichever department holds the file. In criminal cases, plea and sentencing can land in one event or split into two. Read the docket label together with the newest order.
Cleburne Schedule During Portal Maintenance
The Contexte environment posts routine maintenance windows: late-night weekday stretches and a longer weekend period. If the portal fails during maintenance, that is not proof a Cleburne County setting vanished. Lean on the notice and the annual calendar. Lean on the direct department number and the clerk record too. Public CourtConnect is also giving way to Search ARCourts. Screen names, field labels, and filters may shift during the 2026 transition.
The official reports environment posts its own access and maintenance information. Check the Arkansas Judiciary reports environment.
When the statewide system goes down, do not guess. Confirm the Cleburne County court date directly with the court. Skip archived telephone or video appearance rules pulled from emergency notices. No current official source sets out a standing local remote-hearing option. Ask whether the setting is in person. Then follow the court's current instructions.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Missed a Cleburne County court date? Act fast. Call the clerk or the department that holds your case, give the case number, and ask what the docket shows. If a lawyer represents you, reach that attorney first. One caution: the clerk cannot just pick a new date for you. Resetting a hearing may take an order from the judge, and what happens next depends on the case type, the setting you missed, and any instructions the court gave before.
Missed a setting? A missed criminal or traffic appearance can lead to added court action, failure-to-appear consequences, a warrant, or bond forfeiture.
Call the filing court immediately, check the newest docket entry, and follow the judge's stated process for addressing the missed event.
Seek advice from a licensed attorney when the record shows a warrant, bond issue, or other urgent consequence.
One missed event in a civil matter can change things. It may affect scheduling, pending requests, or how the court treats the case. The docket records what was entered, but the signed order controls. Pull that order from the portal if it is linked. If not, request it from the holding clerk. A public event screen is no substitute for the court's instruction.
