The Henderson County Court Calendar
No official live calendar was located for Henderson County Circuit, General Sessions, Chancery, or Juvenile Court. Current settings must come from the docket notice or the clerk responsible for that branch. Beverly Dunaway's office handles Circuit and General Sessions scheduling questions. Leigh Milam's Clerk & Master office handles Chancery matters.
A useful calendar record includes the date, time, court, location, judge or master, case number, case style, proceeding type, and any reset or access restriction. A printed or saved entry is only a snapshot. Confirm it near the hearing date.
No Live Henderson County Court Calendar
The county and AOC pages reviewed do not provide a public party-name calendar, daily docket, or case-by-case online setting list. The Tennessee AOC homepage offers statewide court navigation and alerts, but it is not a Henderson trial calendar.
The AOC navigation appears below.
Use that page to reach official court resources, then confirm the local setting with the clerk.
How to Find Your Court Date
Start with the case number and court named on a citation, notice, pleading, or order. For Circuit or General Sessions, call (731) 968-2031 or visit the clerk at 170 Justice Center Drive. For Chancery, call (731) 968-2801 or contact the Clerk & Master at 17 Monroe Street, second floor, Room 2. Ask about counter access and any posted docket call.
- Identify county, city, appellate, or federal jurisdiction.
- Give the clerk the case number, party name, and proceeding type.
- Ask for the next date, time, judge, courtroom, and current status.
- Check a courthouse posting or docket call if the clerk directs you there.
- Confirm changes with the clerk and, when represented, with your lawyer.
Henderson County Court Setting Locations
Official sources show several locations that should not be treated as interchangeable. The AOC court finder places Circuit, General Sessions, and Chancery court types at 170 Justice Center Drive. The General Sessions judge profile displays Henderson County Courthouse, 22 Monroe Avenue. The Clerk & Master publishes 17 Monroe Street, second floor, Room 2.
The official AOC court finder is shown below.
Always ask for the department, building, floor, and room attached to the specific hearing.
Reading a Court Setting
A “setting” is a scheduled court event. It may be a docket call, motion hearing, status conference, arraignment, pretrial event, trial, or other proceeding. Do not assume every date is the final hearing.
| Date | The scheduled day, subject to later order or reset. |
|---|---|
| Time | Docket-call or individual time; confirm which applies. |
| Courtroom | Exact building, floor, and room. |
| Judge | Assigned judge or master; verify a current assignment. |
| Setting Type | Motion, status, arraignment, pretrial, hearing, or trial. |
Rule 18 and Henderson County Settings
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 18 provides the framework for local rules of trial-court practice and setting procedures. The applicable local rule and the court's order should guide how a date is placed, moved, or confirmed.
The official Rule 18 page appears below.
The rule is a procedure source, not a live calendar. Ask the Henderson clerk whether the event was continued, reset, or removed.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A continuance moves a proceeding to a later date. A reset places a new setting on the case. A cancellation may remove an event without ending the case. Ask for the latest docket entry or order and note who confirmed it, when, and through which office.
Do not infer dismissal from a missing calendar line. The case may have moved, been transferred, become restricted, or simply lack a public online entry. The clerk's current record controls over an older printout.
Henderson County Court Dates in Lexington
Lexington Municipal Court reports Tuesday sessions at 5:00 p.m. on appointed dates. The hearing location is 17 Monroe Avenue, second floor, while the clerk office is at 88 First Street. Crystal Roberts is the municipal clerk at (731) 968-5331.
An appointed-date schedule does not mean each Tuesday is available or that every citation is on one session. Confirm the precise date and location. Also distinguish a court date from Lexington's payment rule, which may allow payment during a period after the assigned court date for eligible matters.
What to Do If You Miss a Setting
Contact the correct clerk at once. Provide the case or citation number and ask whether the court entered a failure to appear, warrant, new setting, or other order. If represented, contact counsel as well. Do not arrive at a different building or date without confirming the next required step.
Missed a setting? A missed date can cause serious case consequences, including failure-to-appear action in matters where law and the court permit it.
Call the clerk and your lawyer promptly to learn the actual status.
Seek legal advice before acting on a missed Henderson County setting.
Henderson County Court Dates in Scotts Hill
Scotts Hill's official city site identifies City Court on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. No public case-by-case docket was located. Contact Scotts Hill City Hall at 85 Highway 114 South, (731) 549-3175, to verify whether a named matter is set and whether the meeting schedule changed.
Parker's Crossroads and Sardis did not have official online court calendars in the reviewed sources. For those cities, identify the issuing authority and call the city first. A county clerk can help route a matter that actually belongs to General Sessions.
Henderson County Court Dates Versus Appeals
Tennessee Public Case History shows appellate milestones such as appeal filed, record filed, briefing, argument or submission, decision, disposition, Supreme Court review, and closed date. It covers appeals, not the ordinary Henderson trial calendar. Data are current through the prior business day.
Henderson belongs to the 26th Judicial District with Chester and Madison Counties. The official judicial district map is shown below.
A district source may cover three counties. Verify that a setting is actually in Henderson County and identify the assigned courthouse.
Note: Save the retrieval date with every calendar result, then confirm the setting again before travel.
Build a Henderson County Calendar Note
A careful court-date note preserves the source as well as the date. Record the case number, case style, court branch, event type, time, location, judge or master, source URL or office, retrieval date, and the name or role of the person who confirmed it. If the source is a paper notice, keep the whole notice. If it is a clerk call, note the time and question asked. That record helps resolve a later conflict between an old notice and a new setting.
Ask precise follow-up questions. Is this a docket call or an individual hearing? Does the time apply to check-in or the start of proceedings? Was only one motion continued, or did the whole case move? Is the room in the Justice Center, a Monroe Avenue building, or another site? Does a remote appearance require prior permission? No official Henderson source confirmed a general reminder service or virtual-calendar tool, so do not assume an email, text, or online alert will arrive.
Restricted settings need care. Juvenile matters and sealed proceedings may not appear in a public listing. A clerk can explain whether the date itself is public and what access rule applies, but a public-record request cannot override confidentiality law. For appellate matters, use the Appellate Clerk if Public Case History is too old or too recent. For a federal case, use the Western District of Tennessee and PACER rather than a Henderson County clerk. Each channel answers for the record it holds.
