The Guadalupe County Court Calendar
Santa Rosa is home to the local state courts. The Fourth Judicial District gives each one its own public hearing page. There is a Guadalupe County District Court page and a separate Magistrate Court page. Each covers the current day plus six days ahead. The details vary by court. A line can carry the hearing date, time, case number, caption, location, judge, and setting type.
Treat the pages as a convenience, not a full docket database. The court itself warns that hearings may be left off and offers no warranty. For your own appearance, other papers control. A filed notice, an order, or a direct instruction from the clerk governs. One more caution: a blank calendar does not mean a Guadalupe County case is closed.
Guadalupe County Six-Day Calendar Window
The Fourth District docket index is the official entry point for these schedules. It sends you to the district and magistrate pages rather than one combined county calendar.
That split matters in practice. Pick the Guadalupe County court your case actually belongs to before checking any setting. The six-day window works well for a hearing that is close, while Case Lookup suits a wider case search.
How to Find Your Court Date
Accuracy matters, so use every Guadalupe County date channel you can. Start with the district or magistrate online schedule. It covers hearings coming up soon. Then search the statewide case index by name or case number. Turn on the range control before trying a hearing-date range search. The case register may also hold a notice of setting, or a later reset. Those entries add context the bare calendar line lacks.
- Read the court name on the citation, summons, notice, or case record. Choose District, Magistrate, or the correct municipal court.
- Open the applicable Guadalupe County hearing page and check the current day through six future days.
- Use New Mexico Courts Case Lookup to search by name or number and inspect the register or hearing results.
- Call the District Clerk at 575-472-3888 or the Guadalupe County Magistrate Court at 575-472-3237 when the hearing is absent, moved, or urgent.
- Check the clerk counter, a mailed notice, filed order, courthouse posting or docket call, and the party’s attorney. A remote-hearing instruction remains official.
Municipal dates in Santa Rosa and Vaughn take a phone call to the municipal court itself. The Santa Rosa vendor page handles payments, not calendar lookups, and the municipal courts post no public calendar-search form.
Guadalupe County District and Magistrate Calendars
District Court and Magistrate Court keep separate calendar pages. They are separate court levels with separate clerks. Guadalupe County District Court handles felonies. It also takes civil matters over $10,000, domestic relations, foreclosures, and other district proceedings. The magistrate court takes misdemeanors, traffic citations, and civil matters under $10,000. Check the wrong calendar and a real hearing can look missing.
The Guadalupe Magistrate Court docket page shows that magistrate schedule directly.
The separate page is a useful reminder. Match any Guadalupe County court date to the right court level and case identifier before calling the clerk.
Reading a Court Setting
A Guadalupe County setting is simply an appointment with the court. Field labels on the calendar describe the event. They are not a disposition. The hearing type may point to an arraignment, a motion, a trial, a status event, or another proceeding. Read the setting line together with the case number and the register. Some details live only in the case-level history or hearing summary.
| Date | The scheduled calendar date, not necessarily the filing or outcome date. |
|---|---|
| Start time | The listed start time where supplied; it may be distinct from a general docket-call time. |
| Case location | The Guadalupe County court or courtroom field when entered. Confirm locally if it is omitted. |
| Judge | The judge displayed for that event, if supplied. Do not infer it from a district-wide judge directory. |
| Hearing type | The label for the scheduled proceeding. In re:SearchNM, it can open a hearing summary. |
Guadalupe County Date Filters
Filing date, hearing date, and setting date answer different Guadalupe County questions. A filing date tells you when the case opened. A hearing date finds a scheduled event. It works only once the form's hearing-date range is activated. A setting date is the date on a notice. It may appear on a calendar line or in a register event. Case Lookup's own instructions say date fields do not filter until the matching range option is selected.
- Register of actions
- The dated list of filings, orders, hearings, and other case events.
- Notice of setting
- A docket entry or filed notice that identifies an appearance or hearing date.
- Hearing type
- The calendar or re:SearchNM label for the kind of proceeding, with a hearing summary where available.
- Continuance or reset
- An event showing that a prior Guadalupe County setting moved or was continued.
Case Lookup is a broad index. Registered re:SearchNM can show a permitted hearing-result view and offers a Refresh Case action for current Odyssey data. Neither route replaces a court's actual notice or clerk confirmation.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A Guadalupe County reset or continuance moves a setting that was already planned. The old date can stay in the register. It remains part of the case history even after a new date is set. That history helps. But it can trip up anyone who treats the first date found as the next date. Read the most recent event, the calendar entry, and any filed notice together.
A hearing may disappear from the short calendar page. It may also seem to clash with a notice. In that case, contact the clerk and the party's attorney. The official calendar notice says entries may be omitted. Confirm a cancellation, a revised courtroom, or a remote appearance method directly rather than guessing from a missing line.
Guadalupe County Jury Call Updates
A Guadalupe County jury-panel message is a live update for jurors, not a general court-calendar rule. The Fourth District's dated 2026 Guadalupe notice tells prospective jurors to call 575-472-3888, extension 2, after 5 p.m. Friday for updated information. It also carries a panel-specific electronic-device instruction. If you have an ordinary case setting, use the notice, the case calendar, the clerk, and the attorney routes that fit that case.
The Fourth District juror notifications page posts those jury messages for the district.
Check the Guadalupe County calendar close to the date of any event. A dated notice is a good prompt, but jury instructions and a case docket are separate things, so do not lean on one for the other.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Missed a setting in Guadalupe County? Act fast. Pull the case number first. Read the newest entry on the calendar or register, then call the right clerk and the attorney for your side. What happens next depends on the court, the case type, any notices, and any order already entered. Keep in mind that a calendar line alone will never show one thing. It will not show whether a failure-to-appear consequence has been imposed.
Missed a Guadalupe County setting? Missing a court date can trigger serious consequences, including a failure-to-appear process, warrant, or bond issue in the appropriate case. Contact the clerk or attorney immediately for the court’s current instruction, and seek legal advice when needed.
Municipal case? Call Santa Rosa Municipal Court or Vaughn Municipal Court yourself. For a district or magistrate matter, use the clerk tied to the Guadalupe County court named on the record.
Guadalupe County Calendar Results
A Guadalupe County calendar result is not a disposition. It shows an event that has been set or listed, nothing more. The register is different. It may hold an order, a plea, a judgment, a dismissal, or a continuance entered after the event. Want a public copy? Find the case through Case Lookup or the calendar. Then ask the clerk for that specific record instead of reading the schedule as a final result. The Guadalupe District Court docket is the official page that lists these settings for the Santa Rosa court.
That district page is the local scheduling interface for Guadalupe County hearings. Entries can have gaps, so confirm any important date with the court itself.
Confirm a Guadalupe County date through the court tied to the case. Do not rely on a generic county label. The Fourth Judicial District serves Guadalupe, Mora, and San Miguel counties. Its local calendar pages point specifically to the Guadalupe District Court or Guadalupe Magistrate Court route in Santa Rosa. So a district calendar entry gives no reason for that assumption. A magistrate, municipal, appellate, or federal case will not show up there. The New Mexico Supreme Court and the New Mexico Court of Appeals run their own appellate systems. Any federal case tied to Guadalupe County belongs in PACER. That is the District of New Mexico's CM/ECF system. Santa Rosa and Vaughn municipal courts handle city settings. Contact them directly.
The confirmation sequence is quick. Save the case number. It comes from the notice or portal result. Read the newest dated entry in the register of actions. Match it against the right Guadalupe County near-term hearing page. Then call or visit the proper clerk counter. Do that if the result conflicts with a filed notice, an order, an attorney instruction, or a remote-hearing direction. The District Clerk's Office sits at 1448 Historic Route 66, Suite 5, Santa Rosa. The Guadalupe County Magistrate Court is at 1633 Historic Route 66. This routing keeps one calendar interface from being mistaken for a full records system. It also preserves the difference between a schedule, a docket event, and a filed court record.
Confirmation in Guadalupe County depends on the court level. A district setting belongs on the Guadalupe County District Court calendar. A magistrate setting belongs on the Guadalupe County Magistrate Court calendar. A municipal setting means calling the city court directly. A federal setting lives in the federal system, never on a county state calendar. Having the Guadalupe County case number in hand makes the clerk call far more precise. When dates conflict, put three things side by side. Line up the notice, the register entry, and the calendar line. An order or an attorney instruction can supply an appearance detail. The short calendar window leaves that detail out. Case Lookup can locate the broader case. re:SearchNM can show a permitted hearing result. If a Guadalupe County setting is missing or has moved, the clerk can confirm it. Calendar checking also stays separate from disposition research. A hearing date is not a judgment date. A reset is not a dismissal. And a calendar omission is not proof that a case is closed. These distinctions matter. They keep a Guadalupe County court-date search aimed at the current setting in the right court.
