What's in the Twiggs County Docket

The Twiggs County court docket is the complete timeline of every case filed in the Superior Court. Civil docket entries cover the stages of a civil case: filing, service, answers, motions, hearings, and final judgment. Criminal docket entries track felony cases from arraignment through sentencing. Domestic docket entries record divorce filings, custody determinations, and support orders. Each entry records the date, the type of action, and identifies the parties and their attorneys.

The docket is a summary record, not the full text of each document, but it gives you a clear picture of what happened in a case and when. You can use the docket to identify which documents are most relevant to your needs and then request those specific records from the clerk. For active cases, the docket reflects the most current status of the proceeding.

Expunged records are removed from public view. The clerk can confirm that a restriction order exists, but will not describe what is in the restricted record. Victims' personal information is typically redacted in released documents, which is a standard practice under Georgia law.
