Find Humphreys County Court Dates

The Humphreys County Court Calendar

Humphreys County offers no online trial-court calendar search. The county's public-notices calendar tracks government meetings, not case settings. Circuit and General Sessions questions go to the Circuit Court Clerk. For Chancery, call the Clerk & Master. Probate runs through the County Clerk under the 23rd District's local arrangement. City cases stay with each city clerk.

When you call, name the court and give the case number. Ask about the next setting, motion date, docket call, trial, sentencing, review, or final hearing. For a date already past, request the docket sheet and minutes. A current calendar rarely keeps old settings.

Humphreys Court Calendar Contacts

One courthouse building, more than one docket route. The Circuit Clerk is Edith "Edie" Stainforth. She sits in Room 106 at 100 North Court Square in Waverly, phone 931-296-2461. The Clerk & Master, Mike Bullion, is in Room 202 at the same address, phone 931-296-2558. The offices sit in separate rooms. That split is why a general call to "the courthouse" may leave a court date unconfirmed. The AOC municipal clerk directory adds contacts for Waverly, McEwen, and New Johnsonville city courts. Its official entries show all three clerk routes at once.

The directory gives names and numbers, not a live court calendar. Staff can change, so confirm the office and the current court date yourself.

How to Find Your Court Date

With no countywide search, use every channel. Begin with your newest notice or citation, then check it against the clerk's current docket. A phone call settles a simple setting fast. A trip to the counter may let you inspect the docket or index in person. A written or mailed request leaves a paper trail of what you asked. It never hurts to ask one more thing. Can the clerk email a public docket entry or written date confirmation?

1. Identify the court, division, and case or citation number.
2. Check Tennessee Public Case History only if an appeal is known or likely.
3. Call the local clerk and ask for the latest setting and status.
4. Visit the counter if a docket, paper index, or public terminal must be inspected.
5. Send a narrow written request when historical proof or a copy is needed.
6. Recheck close to the date because a later entry can reset or cancel it.

The statewide directory aside, one more tool exists. The Tennessee Public Case History site covers appellate activity, and it may surface a local trial number. It does not search the full Humphreys trial calendar. A city's recurring schedule, likewise, never proves your specific ticket is still set.

Waverly Humphreys Court Calendar

Waverly keeps a recurring municipal pattern. City court sits every other month. It falls on the second Wednesday after the first Monday, at 2 p.m. That yields a January, March, May, July, September, and November cycle. This is a city-ordinance court, not the General Sessions or Juvenile calendar. Waverly's official judicial page lays out that municipal jurisdiction and schedule.

What Waverly posts is a recurring court day, not a searchable case list. Check your exact appearance date and courtroom with municipal staff, especially after any continuance.

Reading a Court Setting

A court setting should tell you more than a date. Note the time, courtroom or division, judge if listed, event type, and current status. Watch for two traps. The docket-entry date can differ from the hearing date. A notice and a signed order can carry separate dates, so label each one.

Labels can mislead. "Held" means the event happened in the docket's terms, not that a final judgment was entered. "Taken under advisement" means a final order may still come later.

New Johnsonville Court Calendar

New Johnsonville's municipal court page lists a third-Friday schedule. It gives the 9 a.m. time with specific 2026 dates. Talisa Hinton serves as clerk, and T. Scott Daniel as judge. The AOC directory gives the clerk at 323 Long Street, phone 931-535-2700. Verify any published date before counting on it. Ask whether the citation is still on that session. Ask whether you must appear. Ask whether a continuance has been entered. The city takes certain payments at City Hall. Payment alone tells you nothing about the case's final status, and it is no substitute for a docket check.

• Give the citation number and issuing agency.
• Separate the citation date from the appearance date.
• Ask for the current session date and start time.
• Confirm whether payment changes the need to appear.
• Request a public disposition when the case ends.

Note: Preserve the date on which city staff confirmed the setting because static municipal pages may remain visible after a calendar changes.

Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations

A setting is a snapshot, not a promise. "Continued," "reset," or "passed" usually signals an event moved or the matter was not resolved. Its replacement may sit in a later entry. "Dismissed" and "disposed" mean different things, so check them against the final order or judgment. Line up the original setting for proof of what actually happened. Add the continuance entry. Then match the final event. A clerk calendar, a party notice, a minute entry, and a signed order can each show a different date. Keep the hearing date apart from the day the clerk entered the record.

Set

A date was placed on the calendar when the entry was made.

Continued

The event moved; a later entry may name the new date.

Passed

The event did not proceed as first listed and may return later.

Held

The scheduled event occurred, though the case may remain open.

Taken under advisement

The court may issue a ruling or order later.

McEwen Humphreys Court Calendar

McEwen runs a municipal court, though the city posts no official public court calendar page. Charter and MTAS materials describe a city-hall session framework. The AOC directory lists Vicky Moran at 9586 Highway 70 East, P.O. Box 236, McEwen, with phone 931-582-6211. Other municipal records show different staff names. Call first to confirm the current contact.

The city clerk can tell you the court day, your citation status, the place, and the appearance rule. Ask whether the ticket stayed in municipal court or moved elsewhere. A missing McEwen calendar proves nothing about a session or citation. Waverly's every-other-month pattern does not apply here.

What To Do If You Miss a Setting

Call the clerk for the issuing court right away. Have the case or citation number ready. Add the date you missed and your current contact information. Ask what the docket shows. Ask whether a new date is set. Also ask whether any warrant, order, or failure-to-appear entry was recorded. Staff can explain filing and calendar procedure, but they cannot give legal advice.

For municipal traffic matters, MTAS guidance warns that failure to appear may bring contempt, and Waverly publishes its own local consequences. Neither is a guaranteed outcome in every Humphreys case. Request the actual docket entry and any written notice. If a matter is restricted, ask only for the public date and status available to you.

Protected Humphreys Court Calendars

Juvenile, adoption, protection-order, and sealed matters carry special limits in Humphreys County. A name on a public courtroom list does not permit broad publication. Protected parties and case details stay off limits. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 backs access to public court records. It honors limits set by statutes, rules, and court orders. When something is withheld, ask for the public date. Ask for the status too, and the authority behind the restriction. A hidden name or absent event never means the case did not exist. The official Rule 34 text lays out the full framework.

Jury duty runs on its own administration. A summons or jury pool is not the public case calendar. Contact the clerk or jury coordinator named on the summons. Skip the docket search.

Verify Humphreys Court Calendar Changes

The 23rd Judicial District added Circuit Division IV effective September 1, 2024. An older local-rule page may not list the current number of divisions. A setting may name a division. Confirm the division with the clerk. Confirm the assigned judge too, rather than trusting an old PDF.

Humphreys County publishes no remote-hearing policy, streaming page, countywide attendance rule, or public terminal policy. So do not assume a public case can be watched online. Ask whether the proceeding is open. Ask whether observers may attend. Also ask whether you need an accommodation, or whether a current order changes normal access.

A solid verification note captures the court, case number, event type, and confirmed date and time. Add the room or division, status, source, and confirmation date. For a date that matters, get the answer in writing. The Humphreys County case search can help you find the correct number first. Request the calendar after that.
