Searching the Manila Court Docket
Utah Courts Xchange is the broad public route. It searches case history from District and Justice Courts across the state. For a Manila court docket, pick the right jurisdiction and set the location to Manila District Court or Daggett County Justice Court. A case number is the best key. Names enter the index as they appeared on the original filing, so narrow any name search by case type, court, and date before trusting a match.
A local citation can also be checked through the Daggett Justice Court CORE payment interface. That tool needs an exact citation or court case number, and it is not a full public docket. Eligible Manila parties may use MyCase instead. The official calendar covers scheduled events. Work in this order:
- Read the citation, notice, or filing to identify District Court or Justice Court.
- Search Xchange by exact case number, or use a filed name with narrow Manila filters.
- Match the court, location, case type, filing date, and party role before opening the history.
- Use the calendar for a scheduled date and the case history for what was filed or decided.
- Call the proper clerk when the Manila court docket is missing, old, or unclear.
Phone the right office. Manila District Court records start with the County Clerk at 435-784-3154. Manila Justice Court date and case questions go to 435-784-3216. The two offices hold different roles, so calling the wrong one costs a day. Give the case number first. Or give the full filed name with an approximate year, the case type, and the court location.
Manila Town Portal Is Different
The official Town of Manila portal is a government site, not a docket search tool. It carries no municipal-court page and no Manila-only case database. What you will find are town notices, council material, planning information, and town-office contacts. None of these match a Utah Courts case history. A Manila place name alone tells you nothing about court level. The portal itself is the town's civic site. Its navigation covers town services.
That civic page draws a clean line between town administration and the District or Justice Court record channels.
Chasing a Manila public case history? Leave the town portal and use Xchange. Need a Manila hearing date? Use the Utah Court Calendar. For a citation balance or a payment, take the local Justice Court route. Each tool answers one question, and none of the others substitutes for it.
Manila Municipal Court Basics
Manila has no municipal court. That fact should shape the whole search. Do not assign court duties to Manila Town Hall. Its clerks, the town council, and public-works contacts have none either. The official sources recognize Daggett County Justice Court and a Manila District Court calendar location, and nothing more. No separate town-run court exists.
The split matters. Daggett County Justice Court is the local limited-jurisdiction court for Class B and C misdemeanors, infractions, many traffic matters, and small claims. Manila District Court is the Eighth District location for felonies, general civil matters, domestic relations, probate, and other district cases. Both may carry Manila in a location label. Yet they keep separate case histories and hear different types of cases.
So start with the case type and the exact Manila court named on your paper. If the paper is unclear, call the Justice Court or the County Clerk before paying, filing, or traveling.
Manila Docket in Town Context
Manila counted 308 residents in the official 2020 incorporated-place table. Daggett County's official Quick Facts also lists it as one of the county's two towns. Small town, yes. But the Manila court docket does not hold only town matters. Manila is a court-location label for county and district work. The Eighth District reaches three counties.
District-wide statistics are not Manila-only filing counts. Read them loosely. The Manila name helps you select a court location, while the Manila case header supplies the actual court, case type, number, and judge. If you are tracing one matter, those fields matter far more than any broad caseload figure.
Court Dates and Settings in Manila
The Utah Court Calendar searches by case number, party, judge, or attorney. Date and location filters narrow the list fast. Pick Manila District Court for a district matter. Use Daggett County Justice Court for a local limited-jurisdiction matter. The calendar updates on weekdays, though a setting can still change after an update, so confirm anything critical.
| Date | The scheduled day shown in the calendar or latest court notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed start time; confirm whether it is an individual setting or a shared court session. |
| Location | Manila District Court or Daggett County Justice Court, not simply “Manila.” |
| Judge | The assigned or scheduled judge; Eighth District judges may serve more than one county. |
| Setting type | The event label, such as arraignment, pretrial, motion hearing, trial, or review. |
A Manila calendar entry is not proof that an event happened. It only shows a setting. For the real outcome, look beyond the calendar. Check the later proceeding, minute entry, order, or disposition in the Manila case history. Daggett County Justice Court generally meets on the second Wednesday and Thursday of each month, subject to change, and may add sessions. Call the Manila court for the current date.
Verify the Manila Court Address
Which street is the Manila courthouse on? Official pages give two answers. Daggett County's Clerk and Justice Court pages list the address as 95 N 1st West in Manila, while the Utah Courts Daggett contact page lists 95 North 100 West. Nothing proves these are the same numbered spot written two ways, so call before you drive out.
Also note that Town Hall sits elsewhere. The current Manila location page places the Town of Manila offices at 145 Highway 43, a separate building from the court.
That town building detail guards against a common mix-up. Town Hall is not the clerk's court counter, and the Manila court docket is not handled there.
Before traveling: Call 435-784-3154 for the district clerk route or 435-784-3216 for Justice Court, and ask which address applies to the case.
Traffic Tickets in Manila
A Manila traffic citation normally lands in Daggett County Justice Court. The citation itself and its charge level still control. The local CORE interface offers a single search field. Enter a citation or court case number there. A match can lead straight into a payment flow. But it lacks the name, case-type, court, and date filters that Xchange provides.
No result? Check the number and the court location first. The local notice says a Manila citation may not be filed yet. A no-result screen can also mean no money is due. That screen does not mean the case does not exist. Call the Manila Justice Court to be sure. Also remember that an online payment cannot replace a mandatory appearance.
To contest a citation, the county FAQ tells drivers to request a court date. Bench trials happen in person in Manila. The FAQ gives local timing for evidence and witness information. Confirm current instructions with the court. The Daggett County Traffic Tickets page covers the wider citation route for the county.
Manila Hearings In Person or Online
Daggett County Justice Court offers both in-person and Webex attendance. The local page says the Webex link appears in the calendar notice. A small blue camera icon marks it on the morning of the hearing. Remote access only applies when the court authorizes it for that matter. So do not assume it covers every Manila District Court event.
Official Webex tips explain the camera, microphone, participant, chat, and telephone audio controls. Observers should mute. Manila court proceedings may not be recorded, photographed, transmitted, or otherwise captured. A public link lets you join as directed, nothing more.
Need a different setting? The Daggett FAQ sends you to the Court Technician. Ask there to request a continuance for the judge's review. A request does not cancel the date on its own. Keep the current setting until the court confirms a change.
Where Manila Cases Go
Manila has no current town-run municipal court, so cases start elsewhere. Limited matters route to Daggett County Justice Court. Felony, general civil, domestic, probate, and other district matters go to Manila District Court. That court sits in Utah's Eighth District. Juvenile matters use the Eighth District Juvenile Court system. Those generally stay out of any ordinary docket search.
Docket flow: Daggett County Justice Court › Manila District Court › Utah appellate courts
Appeals climb a ladder. A Manila criminal appeal from Justice Court first goes to District Court under Utah's applicable appeal process. Manila District and juvenile appeals generally land in the Utah Court of Appeals. Specified matters reach the Utah Supreme Court. That describes court levels only, not a claim that each case will be appealed.
For a docket search, start with the court named in the latest notice. A related justice and district matter can carry different numbers and histories. The county-level Daggett County court docket overview maps the broader routing.
Manila Portal Changed in 2026
Manila changed web addresses. Daggett County announced on May 19, 2026. The town moved to the official manilautah.gov domain. The older manilautah.com contact page stayed indexed afterward. That matters when an old bookmark surfaces in search results. Neither town domain, though, is the Manila court docket.
The older indexed Manila contact page shows the prior address format along with town contact details.
Treat the older page as migration context and a cross-check for Town Hall only. It carries no authority for current court business. For present town matters, use the Manila .gov domain.
Court business is different. Turn to Utah Courts, Xchange, the Calendar, or the Daggett Justice Court page for anything about a Manila case. Keeping those straight stops an outdated civic link from looking like a closed or missing case portal.
Manila Court Record Access Rules
Most Utah District and Justice Court records are open to the public. Even so, a Manila court docket can hold private, protected, sealed, or expunged material. Public case history may show a header, hearing, order, or judgment. A pleading or attachment can still stay unavailable. Juvenile social and legal records are generally nonpublic. A failed public search, in short, does not prove that no record exists.
Key rules:
UCJA Rule 4-202.02 classifies Utah court records as public, private, protected, or sealed.
UCJA Rule 4-202.03 sets public access and the limits for nonpublic records.
UCJA Rule 4-202.06 governs record-request processing and expedited review.
Use the Utah Courts record-request form for a Manila court file. Daggett County's GRAMA and NextRequest channel covers county administrative records only, and it does not override a Manila judicial classification. To request nonpublic material, you must be authorized, explain the legal basis, and possibly supply supporting proof.
Manila Docket Copies and Clerks
A public case-history line is not the filed document itself. Xchange can offer a purchase link when a public image exists. For older paper, inspection, plain copies, or certified copies, go through the clerk. The clerk handles these through the Utah court-record request. Utah Courts says a public request is usually answered within ten business days.
| Need | Manila route | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| District case history | Xchange or public terminal | Choose Manila District Court |
| Justice case history | Xchange or Justice Court | Choose Daggett County Justice Court |
| Upcoming setting | Court Calendar and clerk | Calendar entry can change |
| Filed document | Xchange purchase or record request | Access depends on classification |
| Certified copy | Responsible court clerk | Confirm current fee and page count |
Xchange holds every Daggett County case filed from April 7, 2000 onward. Manila docket entries older than that may take help from the clerk. Give the court, the case type, the filing year, and the case number, and skip sensitive identifiers unless the clerk asks for them.
