Why We Built This Site
Tennessee generally permits public access to court records, yet Davidson County divides custody by court. Joseph P. Day keeps Circuit, Probate, General Sessions Civil, and Traffic Violation Bureau records. Howard Gentry keeps Criminal Court and General Sessions Criminal files. Maria M. Salas keeps Chancery records. Tennessee Public Case History covers appeals only. We assembled the local search fields, contacts, docket schedules, and copy routes because using the correct clerk is essential.
What You Will Find Here

- Court dates and settings: steps for checking the court schedule and confirming a hearing
- Case lookups: local routes for a docket search by name, case number, or complaint number
- Record requests: how to obtain court case records, filed documents, and certified copies
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site, with no affiliation to a Tennessee court, clerk, or agency. Its role has firm limits:
- We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or setting listed on this site is current right now
Only the clerk of court or the trial court that heard the case can issue an official or certified copy of a docket sheet or court record. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Outside providers operate search boxes that appear on some pages. They control their services, results, and prices. A paid signup reached through a tool may produce a referral fee that supports free public access to this reference site. We do not set partner charges or determine the records they return.
