The Bee County Court Calendar
For district cases, one office does the publishing. The Bee County District Clerk posts current court dockets and calendars month by month. These cover the 36th, 156th, and 343rd Judicial District Courts. Each of those courts serves a five-county region. So a court number by itself cannot tell you the hearing will happen in Bee County. Read the county heading, court, judge, date, and time as one package.
One more caution from the clerk. Every docket and calendar is subject to revision. The direct PDF links change as new files replace old ones. Start at the District Clerk page and follow whatever calendar or docket link appears that day. Misdemeanor, justice, or Beeville municipal settings live with the clerk named on your notice or citation. They may never show up on any district calendar.
Bee County Calendars Can Change
Any saved Bee County court calendar is just a snapshot. The print date tells you when the file was made. It does not promise the file is still current. A later reset, a signed order, or a court notice can move the setting. Open the live clerk page again rather than trusting a download, a forwarded copy, or an old bookmark.
Keep notes on what you checked. Write down the date, the source, and the calendar header. Then compare the case number and hearing type against the newest notice. If two sources conflict, the clerk or the court coordinator settles it. The public calendar helps. The court's current instruction controls. A row removed from the calendar does not prove the case was dismissed or resolved. Confirm Bee County court dates again close to the setting. Even a calendar marked current can still change.
Find Your Bee County Court Date
Go to the court that owns the case first. Bee County runs district, county, justice, and municipal channels, and each one keeps its own schedule. The order here covers every route the county actually offers.
- Identify the court from the citation, notice, pleading, or case number. For district matters, open the official District Clerk page and follow its current calendar link.
- Check the PDF for the Bee County heading, case number, date, time, court, judge, print date, and hearing type. Do not infer an outcome from the label.
- Cross-check electronic records through re:SearchTX. Its verified areas include Cases, Filings, Text in Documents, and Hearings, though coverage and access vary.
- Call the District Clerk at 361-621-1562 when the online route fails or conflicts. Weekly docket and criminal questions may route to extensions 7051 or 7052.
- Visit the District Clerk counter at 105 W Corpus Christi, Room 30, Beeville, when a phone check is not enough. Posted hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with noon to 1:00 p.m. lunch.
- For a county, JP, or municipal setting, use that court's phone or counter. Ask whether a current printed daily or weekly calendar is available.
Bee County District Calendar Geography
Three district courts share this region. The 36th, 156th, and 343rd District Courts serve Bee, Aransas, Live Oak, McMullen, and San Patricio Counties together, which makes location everything. A setting that looks odd on a Bee County calendar may simply belong to the right court on the wrong county's calendar.
The Texas judicial directory can confirm current assignments. Bee County judge pages also list coordinator routes. The 36th uses 361-318-0304. Both the 156th and 343rd use 361-364-9310. Check the official judge page before calling. A coordinator handles court administration questions, while the clerk keeps the filed case record.
Reading a Bee County Court Setting
A Bee County criminal docket sample tells you what to expect. The header carries the docket type, date, and time. It also lists Bee District Court, the numbered district court, the judge, and a print date. Each row lists an order number, case number, style, offense or case type, hearing type, and attorney. Civil samples look much the same. One caution: the style may contain private party names. Do not copy it into a casual public note.
| Date | The scheduled calendar day, which should be compared with the latest notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated docket or hearing time, not a promise of the exact call time. |
| Courtroom | The place shown by the notice or court; the district serves five counties. |
| Judge | The judge or court on the header, subject to current official assignments. |
| Setting Type | The scheduled purpose, such as status, entry of order, sentencing, or motion to revoke. |
A row is never a judgment. Even a hearing labeled "sentencing" or "entry of order" only says why the case is set. What actually happened shows up in the filed order and the docket entries that follow.
Bee County Setting Terms
Setting labels save space, and that brevity invites mistakes. People read them as results. Treat each term as one point on the schedule, and confirm the case history whenever the outcome matters.
- Status hearing
- A check on case progress or pending issues, not a ruling by itself.
- Entry of order
- A civil setting tied to presenting or entering an order. The signed filing controls.
- Sentencing
- A criminal setting scheduled for sentencing. The calendar does not state the sentence.
- Motion to revoke
- A hearing on a request to revoke, not proof the request was granted.
- Reset
- A move to another date. It does not dismiss the case.
Bee County Resets and Continuances
Know the difference between these terms. A reset moves a matter to a new date. A continuance postpones a proceeding by court action or an approved request. A cancellation can drop a setting without ending the case. These changes may surface late. You may see one only when the clerk posts a new calendar or the case gets an order.
Old local rules add useful context. A July 2016 Bee County County Court criminal docket rules document describes signed reset forms, limits on some resets, motion notice, and advance approval of continuances. It says parties must attend unless a signed continuance order applies. The document is old and may be superseded. Treat it as background and confirm the current rule with the County Clerk or the court. Never assume a verbal request or a filed motion moved the date. Look for approval or direct confirmation. A Bee County case search may help you locate a filing. The newest court notice controls.
Bee County Calendar Phone Routes
Call the District Clerk first at 361-621-1562. Chief Deputy Annie Martinez takes weekly docket and criminal inquiries at extension 7052. Tax and Criminal Clerk Samantha Gutierrez handles criminal and docket-call questions at extension 7051. Staffing shifts. Fall back to the main office if an extension stops working.
Questions tied to one district court may fit its coordinator better. The official district judge directory leads to the 36th, 156th, or 343rd page. Verify current details there. Keep the case number, court number, date, and hearing type at hand. Do not share private facts unless asked.
Bee County Remote Hearing Checks
Old Bee County remote-hearing papers exist. They do not prove that hearings are online today. An April 2021 procedure said dockets had gone back to in person. Zoom could still be considered case by case, but only after a written request. Older audio, video, and health-related reset materials remain linked as well.
Treat those pandemic-era papers as history. Check a current Bee County court calendar, a fresh notice, a judge's order, or direct confirmation. The hearing format must be stated there. Assume nothing. If a notice carries no remote link, ask the court. Do not reuse an old meeting address.
Note: Historical remote-hearing instructions are not proof of online attendance. A current Bee County setting needs its own format confirmation.
Missed Bee County Court Settings
Missed a Bee County court setting? Act fast. Pull the newest docket entry first, then call the court that owns the case. Have the case number and the missed date ready. If you have a lawyer, contact counsel too. The clerk can explain the record and the schedule, but cannot promise how a judge will respond.
Missed a setting? The dated Bee County criminal rules say failure to appear may lead to bond forfeiture or a warrant.
Contact the responsible clerk or attorney at once and ask what the record now shows.
Do not appear at a guessed time or rely on an old calendar PDF.
The result depends on the court and the case. County misdemeanors, district felonies, JP citations, and municipal matters each follow different routes. A missed-court entry may not post right away, so direct confirmation is the sound next step.
