This Is Not a Court or Government Office. We cannot retrieve dockets, change a setting, issue a certified copy, remove a record, or give legal advice. Only the court or clerk with custody can perform those functions.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Franklin Parish does not have a public statewide trial-court case-search portal. Identify the court named on the paperwork, then use the correct custodian.
- Fifth Judicial District case: seek the docket, inspection, copies, or certification from the Franklin Parish Clerk of Court.
- Court date: review the general Franklin Parish court dates pattern, then confirm the live setting with the clerk or assigned court office.
- Criminal or civil file: use criminal docket search or civil docket search to identify the clerk-assisted route.
- Traffic citation: use the issuing court or Fifth District channel printed on the citation, as explained under traffic tickets.
- Mayor's court or J.P. matter: contact the court or local official named on the paper; its records are not automatically held by the Franklin Parish clerk.
For Fifth Judicial District Court records in Franklin Parish, contact the Franklin Parish Clerk of Court, 6550 Main Street, Winnsboro, LA 71295, or P.O. Box 1564, Winnsboro, LA 71295. The published telephone number is 318-435-5133; hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The clerk's public-record route directs requests to Anita Wygal by mail. Confirm fax destination by phone because official clerk and court pages publish different fax numbers.
For a district-court setting, the court's calendar is general rather than case-specific. The assigned Fifth Judicial District court office can confirm whether a case will be called. Division C's published office is at 6556 Main Street, second floor, Winnsboro, with telephone 318-435-7111. Federal matters belong with the Western District of Louisiana, Monroe Division, and PACER rather than the Franklin Parish clerk.
