Yoakum Municipal Court serves the residents of DeWitt County, the 62th largest county in Texas state. The county falls in the third senatorial district and the 11th congressional district. As a result, it holds a very special role that makes it supported by both the Yoakum district clerk and county clerk. Issues that should be filed with the county clerk or the district clerk should be strictly filed within the respective courts; luckily, the staff is friendly and will help you through the process.

The current Yoakum Municipal Court judge has been in office since 2010 and has dedicated his life serving the Yoakum. The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic DeWitt County Courthouse. The Yoakum Municipal Court is located on 900 Irvine Street in the city of Yoakum, the DeWitt county seat.

Yoakum Municipal Court was first built in 1911 in the DeWitt Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in July 1872. Four courthouses have been built in Yoakum. The current fourth courthouse is a great architectural marvel featuring a double-spiral staircase and a beautiful stained-glass montage in the dome.
