Official Court Contacts

This private reference resource cannot obtain a case file or change a court setting. The official Bienville Parish custodian or court must answer questions about a live docket, court date, payment, sealed record, or certified copy. The contact details below route district-court records to the clerk and identify the separate local venues that may hold a different case.

Not a court or government office. Bienville Parish Court Docket is privately operated. It cannot search a nonpublic file, confirm a hearing, provide legal advice, take a court payment, or issue a certified document. Contact the custodian of the actual court record.

District Court Dockets and Copies

The Bienville Parish Clerk of Court is the official custodian for Second Judicial District Court civil and criminal proceedings, minutes, judgments, and related parish court records. William “Eddie” Holmes is identified in the official parish material as clerk. Use this office for a district-court docket, an older file, a request for a certified copy, or confirmation of whether a record is available through eClerksLA.

Official clerk profile

Official pages do not publish a current local copy-fee schedule, request form, payment method, or certified-copy turnaround time. Ask the clerk for those current requirements before submitting payment or traveling to the counter.

Finding the Correct Court

Not every Bienville Parish case is a Second JDC record. A Justice of the Peace court holds its own limited civil and eviction matters. A municipal traffic or ordinance matter can be held by the relevant town or mayor's court. The court name on a citation, notice, or existing case number is the best starting point.

  • Second JDC criminal or civil case: contact the parish clerk at 318-263-2123.
  • JP civil or eviction case: contact the JP district associated with the filing location.
  • Municipal citation: contact the town clerk or mayor's court named by the citation.
  • Jail-status question: the sheriff's jail docket is separate from the district court's official case register.

Second Judicial District Court

The parish court page locates the Second Judicial District Court at 100 Courthouse Drive, Suite 2300, Arcadia, Louisiana 71001. Its published phone number is 318-263-2123. The court has Divisions A, B, and C. Confirm the right division, sitting location, and current date with the clerk or assigned court office before appearing.

Municipal and JP Contact Routes

Local municipal profiles list Arcadia at 318-263-8456, Ringgold at 318-894-4699, Gibsland at 318-843-6141, and Saline at 318-576-3545. Lucky's available profile does not list a phone and identifies a vacant clerk position, so a current contact should be confirmed through the citation or parish clerk. These routes do not establish that a town holds every parish case.

For a JP record, the official parish court page lists five district contacts. JP District 1 in Arcadia is 318-263-4546, while JP District 2 in Gibsland is 318-843-6782. The parish court page provides the remaining district routes and addresses.
