Yuma County Traffic Court Records
Venue turns on the citation, not just where the officer pulled you over. A state offense lands in Yuma County Court under class T or a related class. An ordinance citation is different. It may belong to City of Yuma Municipal Court or Wray Municipal Court instead. No separate Eckley municipal-court docket exists. Read the court or appearance box before you search anything.
The Yuma Combined Court clerk holds the state County Court traffic files, while each city municipal court keeps its own ordinance traffic files. A record can show a lot. A Yuma County traffic court record lists the citation, plea, court settings, disposition, costs, and orders. The free statewide calendar lists scheduled events. The paid CoCourts Register of Action adds chronology but no filed images. Official traffic documents always come from the filing court.
Yuma Tickets Start With Court Box
The court box clears up the most common Yuma County traffic ticket mistake. "Yuma" may mean the county or the City of Yuma. Wray is both a city and the county seat. Trust the citation's court name, address, and appearance instructions over the enforcement agency or stop location.
A citation naming Yuma County Court starts with Colorado Docket Search, CoCourts, or the Yuma Combined Court clerk. A City of Yuma citation starts with its Municipal Court at City Hall. Anything from Wray goes to Wray Municipal Court. A town matter can be unclear. Use the citation and verify which tribunal actually filed the charge. A city payment link proves neither eligibility nor that paying ends an appearance duty. If the caption, address, or case number clashes with an online result, call the named court.
Looking Up a Traffic Ticket
For a state case, open the Colorado Judicial Docket Search. Pick the 13th Judicial District, Yuma County, and County Court. Add a case number, party, or attorney filter, because a date alone is not enough. Traffic cases commonly carry the class 2025T.... It splits into year, class, and sequence fields.
- Keep the citation and copy its court name, number, appearance date, and response instructions.
- For Yuma County Court, search the state calendar with Yuma plus the full case number or party name.
- For a City of Yuma or Wray matter, contact that municipal court because no public city citation database was located.
- For chronology, use CoCourts by name or case number; expect a fee and no document images.
- For an official ticket, disposition, sentence order, or ROA, request it from the filing court.
Reach Yuma Combined Court at 970-592-6120, yumacountycourts@judicial.state.co.us, or 310 Ash Street, Suite L, Wray. Mail works through the state form. Ask before traveling whether a courthouse workstation is available.
Yuma Traffic Lookup Channels
Each channel answers a different question. Use a schedule tool for a date, an ROA for event history, a payment tool only for an eligible balance, and the clerk for the filed record. The municipal courts stay phone-and-counter operations, since neither city posts a public ticket database online.
| Channel | Search or input | What it returns | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado Docket Search | County, date, and case, party, or attorney | Scheduled state traffic event | Not the full file |
| CoCourts ROA | Name or case number | State traffic event history | Fee, no images, nonofficial |
| Colorado Courts E-Pay | Portal-requested case or citation data | Payment on an eligible balance | Not a docket search |
| Yuma Municipal Court | Citation details by phone or counter | City case status, date, and instructions | No public database located |
| Wray Municipal Court | Citation details by phone or counter | Wray case status, date, and instructions | No public database located |
| Combined Court request | Case, party, year, location, and record choice | Official state ticket, order, or ROA | Fees and processing time |
Here is what the search fields cover for traffic access. The public record-request form takes a case number, filing year, Yuma location, and party information. Its Criminal Matters selections include Ticket and Disposition/Sentence Order.
How to Find Your Traffic Court Date
Start with the printed citation. Then compare it against the newest scheduled event. For a Yuma County Court case, use the state Docket Search; for a city citation, call the named municipal court. A reset, continuance, or vacated event can leave an older date sitting in the chronology, so the newest valid notice and court order control.
| Case number | The year, class T when applicable, and sequence, such as 2025T.... |
|---|---|
| Filing court | Yuma County Court, City of Yuma Municipal Court, or Wray Municipal Court. |
| Date and time | The scheduled appearance or hearing as shown in the newest valid notice. |
| Division or place | The state-court division or municipal location tied to the case. |
| Event type | Traffic appearance, plea setting, contested hearing, trial, or review as labeled. |
| Status clue | Pending, continued, vacated, disposed, or another available procedural status. |
The local state court requires appearances in person unless a court order says otherwise. An old remote link is not reliable. Call the filing court about a late change, an unclear setting, or a missed date.
Yuma City Traffic Tickets
City of Yuma Municipal Court runs through City Hall. The address is 320 South Main Street, Yuma, Colorado 80759, and the phone is 970-848-3878. The official court page offers no public citation database with searchable fields. Keep the citation. Call for the current setting and response instructions, then visit the municipal counter or follow its written-record direction when needed.
The City of Yuma online-payments page lets the city take payments over the web. It is a payment gateway only, not proof of a court date, case history, or ticket eligibility.
Confirm with Municipal Court that the cited balance can go through that route. Also confirm that payment satisfies the specific appearance requirement.
Yuma Traffic Tickets Before Appearance
Hold onto the citation and take some action before its printed date. Start by confirming which court has the case. The state and city routes in Yuma County do not swap. Then pin down what the date actually is: a payment deadline, a court appearance, or some other response point. Check the state calendar for a County Court matter. Or call the municipal court named on the ticket. Ask the clerk whether online payment, a written plea, or another option fits that exact charge.
Don't sit back and wait for the ticket to show up in a portal when the deadline is near. A fresh citation can lag behind in the system. An empty search result does not erase the duty printed on the paper. If the court moves your Yuma County traffic setting, save the new notice or order. A phone call alone is not a continuance. The change counts only once the court grants it and puts it on the record.
Pay or Contest a Ticket
Whatever you choose, the printed deadline on the citation controls. There is no safe countywide substitute for that date. Paying counts as a plea and disposition, not just a transaction. To fight the ticket, follow the filing court's plea and appearance steps. A phone call will not excuse you from court. The court itself must change the obligation.
| Paying | Contesting |
|---|---|
| Confirm that the case and balance are eligible for payment. | Follow the named court's plea or appearance process. |
| Ask what plea or disposition payment will enter. | Expect the court to set or confirm a hearing or trial path. |
| Use the approved online, mail, or counter channel. | File or appear by the deadline printed on the citation. |
| Keep court-issued proof of the resolved balance. | Keep every notice and verify later settings. |
Missed date: Contact the filing court at once. Failure to appear can lead to added orders, fees, qualifying warrant consequences, or collection, and online payment may not cancel them.
Deferred disposition, a reduced charge, or a driving course depends on the offense, your record, and the court. The Yuma courts publish no fixed eligibility rule or fee for these options. Ask the filing court before your deadline passes.
Wray Traffic Tickets in Yuma County
Two courts operate in Wray. Mixing them up will send your ticket to the wrong place. Wray Municipal Court is separate from the Yuma Combined Court. Even so, both sit in the same town. The city court sits at 245 W. 4th Street, P.O. Box 35, Wray, Colorado 80758, and answers at 970-332-4431. A state Yuma County Court ticket instead belongs at the courthouse on 310 Ash Street. Reach it through the Combined Court number.
The City of Wray payment-link page handles online payments. Like the Yuma city page, it is not a public traffic docket. The payment screen will not show your case history or hearing dates.
Before you rely on the link, call Wray Municipal Court to confirm your case status. The clerk can explain accepted plea and payment methods and whether paying online satisfies the citation's court requirement.
Traffic Court Record vs Driving Record
Your traffic case and your driving record are two separate files kept by different offices. The filing court holds the Yuma County traffic case. The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles keeps the driving record. It receives reportable convictions from the courts. One does not replace the other. The court record is the right source. It covers the citation, hearing settings, plea, disposition, costs, and any filed order.
- Court traffic record
- Kept by Yuma Combined Court or the named municipal court. It shows the charge, plea, settings, disposition, costs, and filed orders and is obtained through the docket, ROA, or filing-court request.
- Driving record
- Kept by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. It shows the state motor-vehicle history and reportable court results and is obtained through the licensing agency.
When you want an official traffic disposition, mark Ticket, Disposition/Sentence Order, or ROA on the state court request. The DMV file sits outside a court docket request and must be ordered separately.
Yuma Traffic Payments Are Not Dockets
Colorado Courts E-Pay takes eligible state court balances. The Judicial Branch's traffic self-help material walks through the state process. City pages can handle eligible local payments. But a receipt is not a docket. Payment alone will not show the event history, the current court date, or the signed disposition.
The same boundary applies to the official PACER pricing page. That page belongs to a different court system entirely. Its fee rules do not govern Yuma County traffic tickets.
PACER covers federal court dockets only. It is not a search or payment channel for a Yuma County Court traffic ticket, or for a Yuma or Wray municipal citation.
Copies and Fees
Copy costs for a Yuma County Court traffic file come from the state request form. The Judicial Branch posts separate payments and fees guidance for its courts. The city courts do not publish their fees online. Call the municipal court directly for its current amount.
| State court record item | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic or coin copy | $0.25 per page | Listed on the state request material |
| Court-produced paper | $0.75 per page | Downloadable grid; confirm because online estimate differs |
| Nonparty name search with ROA | $5 | Waiver may apply where required |
| Certified or exemplified copy | $20 per document | In addition to applicable copy charges |
| Research or redaction | $30 per hour | In 15-minute increments after the first hour |
Timing varies by how you file. The online form targets a response within three business days; the downloadable form says three to five business days. A response may just be a fee quote or a request for more details. Never send cash by mail.
Request Yuma Traffic Case Records
A portal line is not always enough. For a state case, use the Colorado record and document request. Include the case number, party name, year, Yuma location, and the exact record you need. The Ticket gives you the filed citation itself. The Disposition/Sentence Order gives you the official outcome document. The Register of Action gives you the chronological summary of the case.
Yuma County Court accepts requests several ways. Phone, email, the counter, online, and mail all work. A commercial ROA service offers another online route, but it is unofficial. It carries no document images. For City of Yuma or Wray files, start with the municipal court by phone or at its counter. Then follow its record-request instructions.
Check before relying: The Yuma, Wray, and Eckley municipal courts publish no photo enforcement information, but that alone does not prove no such citation can ever exist.
