Confirm the case first
Match the county and complete index number to the homeowner or defendant name and full property address. Similar index numbers or names can lead to the wrong record.
Read the latest supported activity
Review the caption, parties, appearances, motions, orders, judgment information and sale-related filings together. A single status label rarely tells the entire story.
Know the limit of case information
Court records can show what was filed and scheduled. They do not by themselves determine a defense, legal strategy or the best option for a homeowner.
Information to gather
- County and complete index number
- Plaintiff and defendant names
- Full property address
- Latest filing and appearance
- Any judgment or sale information
