Public Case History

The Public Case History allows you to look up cases in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals through the case management system of the Appellate Court Clerk’s Office known as C-Track.  In addition to providing information about the status and procedural history of an appeal, you will be able to directly access all motions, orders, judgments and opinions filed in the appellate courts after August 26, 2013.  Orders filed in the appellate courts prior to that date may also be accessible if they have been transferred from the legacy case management system to C-Track. These documents are in PDF format and linked to the particular event in the Public Case History.
