Searching the Trezevant Court Docket
Read the issuing court first. A Trezevant municipal matter belongs with the City Recorder/City Court Clerk at (731) 669-4831. For General Sessions or Circuit Court, use the Carroll County portal and the county clerk. The city posts no official search form by citation number or party name. Have the citation, warrant, summons, or case number ready when you call. Bring the recorded name, the alleged offense, the event date, the expected court date, and the exact item you need. Ask whether the case sits as pending, disposed, reset, or appealed.
- Identify the court printed on the source record.
- Call during posted hours, outside the noon closure.
- Confirm Virginia Knott or the current court clerk as custodian.
- Give the identifier and request a setting, docket, or disposition.
- Ask about inspection, copies, certification, payment, and delivery.
Trezevant Clerk Contact Is Verified
The MTAS Trezevant directory lists Virginia Knott as City Recorder/City Court Clerk. The AOC clerk listing carries the same name and town phone. Staffing can change, though, so call ahead and confirm.

Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; closed noon to 1:00 p.m.
The noon closure matters if you need a same-day date check. Call in the morning or after 1:00 p.m. Also ask where court actually meets, because a mailing address does not prove the hearing site.
Trezevant Municipal Court Basics
MTAS names Matthew Maddox as city judge, subject to current confirmation. The Trezevant municipal code holds Title 3 Municipal Court provisions. These cover warrants, summonses, bonds, appeals, and administration. That code carries a September 8, 2020 update date. Use Title 3 to understand the structure, not to resolve a live case. It cannot replace the Trezevant docket. It cannot confirm the sitting judge or fix a current appeal deadline and its receiving court.
Strongest local route: Ask the named clerk for the current status and the city's present procedure.
No Live Trezevant Docket Portal
Trezevant publishes no live docket, citation lookup, court-calendar search, or municipal payment portal on the web. That speaks only to online access. The city still keeps its court records.
| Need | Online finding | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Citation number | No field located | Call city clerk |
| Party name | No field located | Provide identifier |
| Court date | No calendar located | Confirm by phone |
| Payment | No portal located | Ask for current route |
A municipal code answers a search with text, not results. No Trezevant docket entry can be read from it, so it cannot tell you whether a case was continued, paid, dismissed, or appealed.
Court Dates and Settings in Trezevant
Rely on the newest notice or the clerk's own answer. Ask about any reset and whether you must appear. No current session calendar is published, so do not guess a date from a town meeting calendar or the Carroll circuit schedule.
| Date | The newest Trezevant setting. |
|---|---|
| Time | The clerk-confirmed arrival or session time. |
| Courtroom | The actual hearing location. |
| Judge | The current city judge. |
| Setting Type | Appearance, hearing, trial, or compliance event. |
Two dates that conflict? Ask the clerk for the newest docket entry or order, because a continued setting usually means the case is still pending.
Ask for a Trezevant Disposition
Name the exact product you want. Request the current docket, the setting, the disposition, a warrant or summons entry, the fine-and-cost record, a bond entry, or an appeal reference. Say whether you need inspection, a plain copy, or a certified copy.
- Warrant, summons, citation, or case number
- Name exactly as recorded
- Alleged offense and event date
- Expected hearing date
- Specific event or disposition
- Desired delivery and certification
Ask Trezevant directly about its copy fee and accepted payment. Carroll County's page charge and certification fee govern only the county request form. Never carry those county numbers into a city request.
Traffic Tickets in Trezevant
Check which court a ticket names, Trezevant Municipal Court or Carroll General Sessions. A city ticket goes to Virginia Knott or the current city clerk. A county ticket lives in TnCIS with General Sessions and Criminal selected. Before paying, confirm the amount, due date, and payment method. Confirm the effect on your required appearance too. Before contesting, confirm the setting and the procedure for appearing. Trezevant offers no live payment portal. See Carroll County traffic tickets for the county route. Note: City and county dockets rest with different custodians. That holds even when the event happened inside Trezevant.
Trezevant Court Versus Carroll Court
The county TnCIS form covers Circuit Court and General Sessions, not Trezevant Municipal Court. A no-result search may just mean you picked the wrong office. Follow the venue printed on the source paper.
| Venue | Start | Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Trezevant Municipal | City clerk | Status and setting |
| General Sessions | Carroll TnCIS | Case type |
| Circuit Court | TnCIS and clerk | Division and events |
| Juvenile | Juvenile Court | Access restrictions |
If an appeal is claimed, ask the Trezevant clerk for the receiving court and new number. Never infer the current route from code text alone.
Trezevant Terms From Title Three
The city code supplies useful words for framing a request. The clerk, in turn, gives those terms their current case meaning.
- Warrant
- A court process directing action based on a charge or judicial finding.
- Summons
- A notice directing a person to appear.
- Bond
- A condition or security tied to appearance or release.
- Appeal
- A request for review that may create a record in another court.
Ask for the document or entry itself. A definition cannot establish that any Trezevant event occurred.
Where Trezevant Cases Go
A city matter starts with Trezevant. County charges and civil suits start at the right Carroll office, and not every municipal case moves beyond the city tier.
Docket flow: Trezevant Municipal Court › Carroll County Courts › Circuit Court
For a transfer or appeal, obtain the receiving court, the number, and the filing date. The Carroll County court docket covers the county search channels.
Trezevant Docket Size Is Unknown
MTAS reports a 2025 certified population of 799, the smallest of the five profiled municipalities. A small town does not mean an empty docket. No filing count supports any ranking claim. The directory also lists an incorporation date of February 1, 1911.
The MTAS directory supplies the official context.

The directory backs the contact trail, population, hours, and town history, but not live case status.
Trezevant Court Record Access Rules
Tennessee generally opens its public court records, subject to statutes, sealing, expunction, redaction, and other lawful limits. A record missing online is not therefore confidential.
Key rules:
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 addresses court-record inspection and exceptions.
T.C.A. §§ 10-7-503 and 10-7-504 provide the public-record baseline and confidential categories.
T.C.A. § 37-1-153 limits ordinary juvenile-record access.
If access is denied, ask for the controlling rule or order. Also ask whether a redacted public copy can be released.
Trezevant Appeals Need Current Facts
Title 3 governs Trezevant appeals. Yet the code by itself will not settle a live appeal. Bond amounts, deadlines, and the receiving court all turn on the type of case and current law. Call the clerk right after judgment to learn the process that applies now. Ask for the disposition plus any written notice of appeal rights. Write down the date the judgment was entered, not just the hearing date. If another court takes over, get its full name and new case number. Those facts carry you from the Trezevant docket to the next record cleanly. Remember, though, a docket only logs events. It picks no remedy for you. The clerk handles filings and copies; a lawyer handles strategy.
Trezevant Clerk Contact Timing
The Trezevant office closes from noon to 1:00 p.m. So plan calls around that break. Want a hearing set the same day? Phone before noon or after reopening. Repeat the citation number and confirm whether the hearing site differs from the mailing address. A few more questions save trips. Ask whether inspection requires an appointment, and whether the file is electronic, paper, archived, or stored elsewhere. Ask too whether you need to submit a short written description. Say up front if you want a certified record, since a plain copy and a certified one serve different purposes. For mail requests, get the proper addressee and accepted payment forms. Never enclose a fee copied from a Carroll County form. The city custodian should quote the exact charge, certification method, and delivery route. Log each response, including the date, who confirmed any change, and the updated entry. That habit matters because Trezevant has no live portal.
Confirm a Trezevant Docket Match
One matching name does not prove you have the right file. Have the clerk check the warrant, summons, citation, or case number against the date and alleged offense, and if any field conflicts, resolve it before assuming it is the same Trezevant matter. Always ask for the newest entry date. An old setting can linger on the docket after a reset, so request the new date and appearance instructions if the case was continued, and if it was disposed, ask whether costs, bond issues, or compliance events remain open. Keep three things distinct: the full case file, the docket, and the disposition. A narrow request is often faster and easier to redact, so confirm whether simple inspection answers your question before paying for certification. If you are sent to Carroll County, pin down the exact court type. General Sessions and Circuit Court sit as separate portal choices, and a precise referral avoids another dead-end search while preserving the record chain.
Trezevant Record Follow-Through
Once a record arrives, check every page. It should all belong to the case you requested, and the latest entry should be there. Files pulled before a recent hearing can already be stale. Ask the clerk whether anything newer has posted. Keep the response with your citation and notices so the source and date stay clear. For certified copies, inspect the certification and seal before relying on the record in court.
