Pontotoc County District Court
The Pontotoc County Court Clerk maintains all district court records at the Pontotoc County Courthouse in Ada. Traffic filings from the county sheriff and Oklahoma Highway Patrol are all kept here. The Court Clerk's office handles copy requests, certified documents, and case lookups. You can visit during regular business hours or send a mail request to the courthouse.
Ada is the county seat and the largest city in Pontotoc County. All district court hearings, including traffic cases, take place at the Ada courthouse. State highways and US routes running through the county see regular Highway Patrol enforcement. Those stops create district court filings. Stops by Ada city police within city limits go to the Ada Municipal Court instead.
The Ada Municipal Court handles city ordinance violations and traffic citations issued by Ada city officers. If your citation shows Ada as the issuing agency and a city police officer wrote the ticket, your case is at the Ada Municipal Court, not the district court. Contact the Ada city court for those records. District court and municipal court are separate systems with no shared records.
