NO FCRA USE. This privately operated site is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal government body or court. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers services for purposes regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We are not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Information from this site and its linked tools may not be used for decisions about credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
1. What This Website Is
Colfax County Court Docket is a private reference site, not a government office or court service. It does not hold the official docket, alter a court date, retrieve a case file, or file materials for a visitor.
The site directs visitors to the official sources that may hold a Colfax County case, such as the Eighth Judicial District Court Clerk / Colfax County District Court Clerk, the Raton and Springer Magistrate Courts, municipal court clerks, and New Mexico Case Lookup. Third-party tools may also be displayed for general research.
2. Informational Use Only
Material on this site is provided for general information. It is not the official register of actions, a court order, or legal advice. Confirm any fact that matters with the court or clerk that holds the case.
For New Mexico court records, the governing access framework includes Rule 1-079 NMRA and the Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978, Section 14-2-1. A written request must describe the requested record with reasonable particularity under NMSA 1978, Section 14-2-8(D). Those rules apply to the responsible court or custodian, not to this private reference site. The judiciary's IPRA court-records portal routes a request to the court location that may hold the record.
3. Rules for Using This Site
By using this site, you agree not to:
- Violate a federal, state, or local law
- Use information from the site to stalk, harass, or threaten another person
- Use information for any FCRA-regulated purpose, including a decision about credit, employment, tenant screening, or insurance
- Attempt to enter systems or obtain access that has not been authorized
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the site

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or similar reports. You agree not to use information from this site or any linked tool for decisions about credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.
If a use is subject to the FCRA, obtain any required service from an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing on this site is legal advice. The material explains general court-record access in Colfax County, but it cannot advise how a filing, charge, court order, or deadline applies to an individual matter. Consult a licensed New Mexico attorney for legal advice.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
The site is provided "as is," without a promise that:
- All information is accurate, complete, or current
- The site will remain available without interruption
- Every page will be free from errors, defects, or security issues
- A third-party tool's results will be complete or accurate
Docket entries can change as filings are made, hearings are reset, cases are sealed, and orders are issued. A page on this site is never an official statement by the Eighth Judicial District Court, a magistrate court, a municipal court, or a clerk. Verify a docket entry or hearing date with the court that keeps it before relying on it.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
The site links to clerk offices, trial-court pages, statewide case-access systems, legal-aid resources, and external search services. Following a link takes you to a site we do not control. We are not responsible for its content, availability, charges, terms, or data practices. Review its terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code on this site are owned by Colfax County Court Docket or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative work from that material without prior written permission.
