Searching the Friars Point Court Docket
Friars Point offers no official public docket, calendar, citation lookup, or payment portal. That makes the citation and the town clerk the practical route. A Friars Point ticket may point to municipal court. It could also lead to Justice Court or a county appeal. Each is a separate file with a different clerk. The court named on the citation controls your first call. It also sets the appearance route and any request for a docket sheet or disposition.
- Read the Friars Point citation or notice and record the court name, citation or case number, date, and requested record.
- If the paper identifies Friars Point municipal court, contact the town clerk and ask for the current docket, setting, payment or contest route, and copy options.
- If the paper identifies Justice Court, call the county Justice Clerk rather than treating the Friars Point town route as the record custodian.
- If the Friars Point matter is a Circuit, County, or Chancery case, use the appropriate county clerk and the court shown on the file.
- Ask the office to confirm the current setting before appearing, because no public Friars Point calendar was verified.
The town does have a municipal record route, though it publishes no live search fields. Ask narrowly. A broad name inquiry is riskier than a specific request. Tell the Friars Point clerk the town, the court, and the date range. Give the number if you have it. Say whether you need a docket sheet, a filed document, or a certified copy.
Friars Point Docket Search Limits
No public screen is not proof that a Friars Point docket is missing. A town can keep paper files or an internal electronic record with nothing published online. And a blank result on a county system never settles whether a town citation exists.
Do not pay a Friars Point citation through the Clarksdale nCourt link. That screen is a city payment route. It is built around a Citation Number field. It is not a countywide municipal docket. MEC/PAMEC is not a universal municipal or Justice Court traffic search either. It covers certain Circuit and County Court records once you have an account. It does not reach every Friars Point matter.
Note: Treat a missing online result as a reason to confirm with the clerk. It is not proof the record is unavailable.
Friars Point Municipal Court Basics
Keep Friars Point municipal records separate from county court records. A town citation or ordinance matter belongs with the municipal court or clerk. A Justice Court matter belongs with the Justice Clerk. Circuit and County Court filings sit with the county's Circuit Clerk. Chancery has its own clerk and calendar. The court named on the paperwork tells you who holds the record first. Where the event happened does not.
The official 2024 to 2028 Blue Book lists a Friars Point municipal judge and town clerk. An older 2023 judiciary directory names a different judge. That mismatch is a warning about currentness. Ask the clerk to confirm the current judge, session, and location. Do not trust either directory as a live calendar.
Friars Point Court Clerk Route
The official 2024 to 2028 Mississippi Blue Book gives the Friars Point town contact route. It lists P.O. Box 185, Friars Point, Mississippi 38631-0185, phone 662-383-2233, fax 662-383-2403, and fpcityhall2017@gmail.com. Allean Thomas appears as clerk. Treat that as a starting point. Confirm office hours, meeting location, and request method before you travel.

A 2025 state procurement notice also names a town-hall location on 2nd Street. That is a location clue, not a court-page confirmation. Call Friars Point first to confirm where court business is handled and whether in-person inspection or certification is offered.
Court Dates and Settings in Friars Point
The town publishes no official court calendar or session schedule. Take a Friars Point court date from the citation or summons instead. A later order or clerk confirmation also works. The town contact can explain the current setting route for a municipal matter. Confirm a Justice Court citation with Justice Court. An appeal may carry a new county case number. It may also have a different setting.
| Date | Use the date printed on the citation or later written notice. No public Friars Point calendar was verified. |
|---|---|
| Time | Confirm with the Friars Point town clerk or the issuing court because a public docket row was not located. |
| Location | Ask the Friars Point town clerk. The reviewed sources do not establish a current court sitting location. |
| Judge | Confirm the current Friars Point municipal judge because the 2024 to 2028 and 2023 directories differ. |
| Setting type | Read the citation or order for the event instruction. A docket setting is a scheduled event, not the full file. |
Dates can change by court action or notice. Keep the newest Friars Point paper or electronic notice. An old directory listing is never proof of a current session.
Friars Point Court History Today
Friars Point holds a real place in Coahoma County history. The Blue Book reports the town incorporated in 1865. The 2020 Census ranked its population at 896 residents. Treat those two figures separately. The Blue Book count comes from a different directory vintage. The town's past as a county seat colors local lore, but it will not tell you where a modern court file sits.
The Coahoma County Sheriff courthouse history tells it plainly. The county once kept seats in both Clarksdale and Friars Point. Today the county courthouse and the main county clerk offices operate in Clarksdale at 115 First Street. Friars Point does not host a current county courthouse. Anyone chasing a current county file should go through the clerk who actually holds that county court record.
History explains Friars Point's civic role, nothing more. It cannot pull a Circuit, County, Chancery, or Justice Court record into town. The court name printed on the modern paper still controls the route.
Traffic Tickets in Friars Point
Every Friars Point traffic ticket belongs to the court that issued it. That citation governs payment, contest, appearance, continuance, and final disposition. The town offers no official online payment route. A citation naming Friars Point municipal court calls for the town clerk. One naming Justice Court calls for that court instead. Ask whether the ticket is payable. Ask whether an appearance is required and whether the date was reset. Also ask how to request a copy.
Friars Point also has no share of Clarksdale's city-linked payment screen. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety citation files are not a Friars Point case lookup either. Those files are annual, non-PII abstracts from participating agencies. They contain no adjudication. Only the issuing court, not DPS, can confirm the current court status or disposition of an individual Friars Point ticket. DPS cannot.
No official source publishes a Friars Point fine schedule, payment deadline, or online contest form. Follow the instructions on the citation. Contact the Friars Point clerk before paying past a printed deadline or assuming a missing balance means the ticket was resolved.
Friars Point Citation Court Routes
A paper citation naming Friars Point municipal court calls for the Friars Point town clerk. Have the citation number, court date, and your question ready. Ask about payment and contest routes. Ask about the current setting. Ask about the cost of a plain or certified record. If the citation names Justice Court instead, take it to the county Justice Clerk. The two routes are not interchangeable.
If the town clerk cannot locate a Friars Point case, do not stop there. Ask the issuing agency which court received the citation. An appeal filed later may carry a new county case number. Confirm the appeal court and that number first. Then contact the County Court or Circuit Clerk. That later step never makes the county clerk the custodian of the original municipal-court record.
Where Friars Point Cases Go
Friars Point cases do not land in one shared file. A municipal matter stays on the town route unless a lawful appeal moves it. A Justice Court case remains with the Justice Court clerk. The Circuit Clerk keeps Circuit and County Court filings. The Chancery Clerk holds Chancery matters. Coahoma County Court can hear appeals from Justice and municipal courts as Mississippi law allows. But confirm an appeal before assuming one exists.
Docket flow: Friars Point municipal court or Justice Court › Coahoma County Court on a confirmed appeal route › the applicable Mississippi appellate court under the governing rules.
Once a transfer or appeal is confirmed, a county-level search can run through the Coahoma County Case Lookup route for covered Circuit and County records. Do not send a Friars Point town citation into MEC/PAMEC first. The receiving court and its record coverage must be known before that step.
Friars Point Docket Record Terms
Precise record names help the Friars Point clerk route a request quickly. A docket sheet is a chronological register of filings, settings, and actions. A case history is the same timeline in electronic form. A filed document is the actual instrument behind an entry. It may be paper or electronic. A certified copy carries the clerk's authentication. State which product you need when making the request.
- Municipal judge
- The judge associated with municipal proceedings. Friars Point directory listings should be source-dated because the reviewed directories differ.
- Town clerk
- The Friars Point municipal-government contact used to route a town record or citation question.
- County clerk
- A separate county custodian for Circuit, County, or Chancery files, depending on the court and record type.
- Disposition
- The court’s recorded result. A citation abstract or payment lookup does not by itself establish it.
Friars Point Court Record Access Rules
Access to Friars Point court records starts with the right custodian. Make a narrow request, written or verbal. Mississippi's Public Records Act generally permits inspection and copying of public records under reasonable procedures. Court records can still be restricted. A court rule, sealing, juvenile confidentiality, redaction, or an order can restrict them. Keep one more point in mind. A public record is not always online, free, or held by the first office you contact.
Record-access rules:
Miss. Code §25-61-5 provides the general inspection and copying rule for public records under reasonable written procedures.
Miss. Code §25-61-7 addresses actual reasonable production costs, while a clerk must confirm any current copy or certification charge.
Miss. Code §25-61-11 recognizes exemptions and privileged material. It does not permit a request to bypass a seal or court order.
For a restricted Friars Point record, ask the clerk what portion can lawfully be inspected and what access process applies. Never infer private facts from a missing record or a sealed label.
Friars Point Docket Document History
Older Friars Point government papers sit in a state archive, not in the courtroom. The Secretary of State municipal-document search lets you pull historic municipal records. You search by county and town name. Treat it as a history tool only. It is not a live Friars Point docket. It will not pay a citation or check a current case balance. A court date shown there means nothing for today's calendar, so never rely on it for one.
These two routes answer different questions. A live Friars Point municipal case starts with the citation and the town clerk. The archive search handles old government material from the town. Coahoma County court records, in turn, belong with the county office that keeps them. Keeping these purposes separate keeps you from mistaking a town-history source for an active court docket or hearing schedule.
Note: Friars Point hours, terminal availability, payment methods, session schedules, and certification fees are all set by the town. Confirm them directly with town staff.
