The Morris County Court Calendar
The Morris District Court Calendar page links a district calendar PDF and a separate 276th Morris civil-dates document. The 76th and 276th Judicial District Courts both serve Morris County and also work across neighboring counties, so a scheduling file can reflect multi-county court operations.
No interactive daily Morris calendar or update-frequency promise was located. Treat the posted document as a planning source, not a guarantee that a setting has not changed. The case summary, filed notice, coordinator, clerk, courtroom posting, and a party's attorney are all valid cross-checks.
Morris Calendar Links and Calls
The county's calendar landing page is the official starting point for district scheduling documents and contact routes.
The source image shows why calendar access is partly document-based and partly human. It does not display a live private docket.
Kelli Rumbo is the coordinator named in county calendar material. More than one coordinator phone appears across county and court listings, including 903-577-6736 and 903-645-2321. Use the number attached to the specific court or calendar item rather than assuming the two listings conflict.
How to Find Your Court Date
Begin with the court and cause number shown on the citation, pleading, notice, or bond paper. A district matter can be checked against the calendar page and the county's limited Tyler Case Summary. A JP, municipal, or federal setting must be checked through that separate court. Names alone can produce uncertain matches.
- Read the issuing court and cause number on the latest filed paper.
- Open the district calendar or the correct lower-court calendar channel.
- Compare it with the Morris Case Summary when applicable.
- Call the clerk or coordinator and consult the party's attorney.
- Check courthouse or courtroom postings on the appearance day.
Calendar Versus Morris Case Summary
The calendar groups scheduled court work. The case summary traces events in one indexed case. Neither is automatically the signed notice or scheduling order. If one source shows a date and another does not, check the filing date and court, then contact the person responsible for that setting.
| Source | Best use | Key limit |
|---|---|---|
| District calendar | Published setting pattern | May change after posting |
| Case Summary | Case-specific event sequence | Limited; older cases may be absent |
| Filed notice/order | Official case document | May require a clerk copy |
| Coordinator or clerk | Current confirmation | Use the correct court line |
For city or JP cases, the county Tyler result cannot substitute for the issuing court's own confirmation.
Reading a Court Setting
The inspected research did not establish a single fixed row layout for every Morris schedule. Common calendar information includes a court or judge, date, time, cause number, party or style, setting type, and location. Read the labels on the actual source. Do not infer a courtroom when the posting names only the court.
| Date | The scheduled date, subject to later reset or cancellation. |
|---|---|
| Time | A docket-call or individual time; arrive as the court directs. |
| Location | The named room, building, or remote method, if published. |
| Court | The 76th, 276th, JP, municipal, or other tribunal. |
| Setting type | Hearing, pretrial, trial, arraignment, or another event label. |
Use Morris Prior-Day Jury Calls
Morris County instructs jurors to call 903-645-2321 after 5 p.m. on the day before trial. That check matters because jury instructions can change after a PDF or mailed notice was prepared. Use the message for the specific trial date and follow the court's directions.
The official courthouse contact page provides the courthouse address and clerk directory.
This directory connects the prior-day check to the right office at 500 Broadnax Street. It is not a replacement for the calendar notice.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A reset gives a setting a new date. A continuance delays a proceeding by court action, and a cancellation removes an event. None of these terms alone states the merits of the case. The docket may show a motion, order, or notice tied to the change, while a posted PDF may still reflect the earlier schedule.
Confirm changes with the coordinator, clerk, and attorney. District Clerk procedures say hearing notices and requests should be e-filed rather than sent by routine email or fax. A party should retain the file-marked notice or signed order that supports the new date.
Bring File-Marked Morris Papers
A calendar listing proves only that an event was scheduled when the source was prepared. Under Morris District Clerk's 2025 procedures, a file-marked document shows that the filing entered the clerk's system. Bring the relevant notice, motion, or order when a court date depends on it.
Do not use ordinary email or fax as proof that a hearing request was filed. The local procedures call for e-filing through eFileTexas. A proposed order, hearing notice, and motion are distinct documents and should be handled as the court directs.
For record checking, the District Clerk's Suite J counter and 903-645-2321 line are the district routes. The County Clerk in Suite D, at 903-645-3911, handles county-clerk matters such as probate and county misdemeanors. Those offices share the Broadnax address, but they do not own the same calendars. Give the cause number and court name when asking whether a setting remains active.

Morris Multi-County Scheduling
The 76th District Court serves Morris, Camp, and Titus counties. The 276th serves Morris, Camp, Marion, and Titus. Shared judicial service helps explain why a judge or coordinator listing may not use only a Daingerfield contact. It also makes the county and cause number essential when asking about a date.
The courthouse for Morris clerk records is at 500 Broadnax Street in Daingerfield. That is different from the old courthouse address and from city municipal-court locations. Confirm the exact court location on the latest notice before travel. Remote or hybrid hearing options also require direct local confirmation; no universal Morris remote-hearing schedule was found.
Omaha Municipal Court illustrates the lower-court distinction. Its city page publishes night court on the first and third Wednesday from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and says the court is not in the office except on court dates. That city schedule does not appear in the district PDF. Naples, Lone Star, Daingerfield, and Hughes Springs also maintain municipal channels that must be checked directly for city citations.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Contact the court and any attorney at once. Give the cause number, court, missed date, and a reliable way to receive instructions. Do not assume the case was reset automatically. The consequence depends on the kind of case and the court's order.
Missed a Setting? A missed criminal appearance may lead to failure-to-appear action, a warrant, or a bond consequence.
Call the correct clerk or coordinator immediately and speak with your attorney.
Seek advice from a licensed attorney before appearing on a missed Morris County setting.
For a city ticket, contact that municipal court. For a county fine-only case, use the JP. District matters route to the District Clerk or coordinator, while federal dates belong to the Marshall Division.
If the missed date was a jury instruction rather than a party setting, follow the message on the official prior-day line. If it was a civil hearing, ask whether a signed reset or continuance order entered the file. For a criminal setting, ask counsel about any warrant or bond consequence. A clerk can report the record and current calendar route but cannot provide legal advice about the best response.
Morris County's calendar chain is especially important because the posted district documents are not a verified live daily feed. Compare the calendar PDF, separate 276th civil-dates document, Tyler Case Summary, and latest file-marked notice. Then call the coordinator line associated with the court. The county also directs jurors to call 903-645-2321 after 5 p.m. on the day before trial because instructions can change after an earlier notice was issued.
Lower courts require their own confirmation. Omaha publishes evening court on the first and third Wednesday, while other Morris County cities rely on municipal contacts rather than the district calendar. A JP citation uses the Justice of the Peace route. Federal settings use the Eastern District's Marshall Division. State the court and cause or citation number when calling so staff can distinguish a city ticket from a county or district setting.
If a new date is given by phone, ask whether a written notice or signed order will follow and how to obtain it. Keep the caller's instructions with the case papers, but rely on the court's filed record for formal proof. A calendar change does not decide the merits, erase an earlier event, or establish that a case was dismissed.
