Shelby District Court serves the residents of Shelby County, the 116th 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 Center 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 Shelby District Court judge has been in office since 2011 and has dedicated his life serving the Center. The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic Shelby County Courthouse. The Shelby District Court is located on 200 San Augustine Street in the city of Center, the Shelby county seat.

The administration of justice in the Shelby District Court is open, transparent, and open to the public. All the proceedings and acts of the court are recorded and maintained by the Shelby County Clerk’s Office. The public can access the record online or by mailing the county clerk’s office located at Shelby County Courthouse. The requests are made by creating a written statement indicating a request for the records, the case number, and requisite application fees in a stamped self-addressed envelope.

Shelby District Court was first built in 1890 in the Shelby Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in August 1917. Four courthouses have been built in Center. The current fourth courthouse is a great architectural marvel featuring a double-spiral staircase and a beautiful stained-glass montage in the dome.
