NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal government body or court. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site helps readers locate DeKalb County, Tennessee court docket and case-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no connection to a court or government office. It does not store official records or dockets and cannot retrieve a docket, alter a court date, or file a document on anyone's behalf.
We direct readers to the offices holding DeKalb County dockets, including Susan L. Martin, the DeKalb County Circuit Court Clerk, and other clerks responsible for particular courts. Because no statewide trial-court case search is confirmed for DeKalb County, references to Tennessee Public Case History concern appellate cases only. We also connect readers with third-party research tools.
2. Informational Use Only
All content is general information about DeKalb County court dockets and case records. It does not replace an official docket, a court order, or advice from an attorney. Treat it as a starting point and confirm consequential details with the clerk responsible for the case or the court holding it. Access to government and court public records is governed by the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34, and any applicable exception, court order, or confidentiality rule.
3. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing here is legal advice. Although we explain how DeKalb County court dockets generally work, we cannot advise how a case, charge, order, or deadline applies to a particular situation. Consult an attorney licensed in Tennessee for that guidance.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Dockets change as cases are filed, hearings are scheduled or reset, and matters are amended, dismissed, or sealed. Information gaps may therefore occur. No page here is an official statement by a court or clerk; verify every material docket entry and hearing date with the court holding the case.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may take you to the DeKalb County Circuit Court Clerk, Tennessee court resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their availability, content, charges, or data practices. Review a destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
The text, graphics, logos, and code on this website belong to DeKalb County Court Docket or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material from that content.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of this website, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or legal proceedings resulting from your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Tennessee law governs these terms. Any legal dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. We are a private reference site with no access to the court's docketing system. You can run a case search yourself or contact the clerk of court.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. Only the court can set, reset, or confirm a hearing. Check the court calendar and verify any date with the clerk of court.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. Docket data on third-party tools may be incomplete or out of date. The official docket comes from the clerk of court that holds the case.
