Long Beach Court Docket Searches
The Long Beach Municipal Court page is informational. It offers court procedures and payment guidance, not a name-search docket. There is no last-name form and no citation-number field. There is no case-number lookup and no date-range search on it. The linked ticket service takes payments; it does not display court documents. So a Long Beach citation and the court date printed on it remain your starting facts for any city lookup. Call the city clerk for a setting, continuance, or record copy. Give the citation or city case number. If a Long Beach matter gets appealed into Harrison County Court, hold onto both numbers. One more caution: an empty online result or a payment attempt proves nothing. It does not show whether the Long Beach case is closed or dismissed.
- Read the Long Beach citation and preserve its number, stated court date, and charge description.
- Check the Long Beach Municipal Court information for the regular court schedule and procedures.
- Use the Long Beach ticket service only when the citation is eligible for that payment route.
- Call the Long Beach clerk for a current date, continuance question, disposition, or copy.
- Check a county route only after an appeal or court paper identifies a Harrison County court.
Note: the Long Beach ticket service handles payments only. It is not a docket, and it does not replace a certified record held by the clerk.
Long Beach Court Wednesdays
Long Beach Municipal Court sits on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. One exception applies: months with a fifth Wednesday skip court that day. The standing schedule is a helpful planning rule. But the date printed on your citation or a later Long Beach court notice always controls. Holidays, closures, continuances, and individual instructions can all bend a normal week. When your ticket and the standing schedule disagree, call before you appear. The court page also lists clerk hours. Those run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. That window is for asking about a ticket record. It is not for assuming court runs every weekday. The Wednesday time and the no-fifth-Wednesday rule describe the Long Beach court calendar. They never override the date on a notice.
Long Beach date check: retain the citation date, then confirm with the clerk when a fifth Wednesday, closure, or reset could affect the normal schedule.

You will find Long Beach Municipal Court at 201 Jeff Davis Avenue, Long Beach, Mississippi 39560. The clerk number is 228-865-7840. This court handles misdemeanor crimes, traffic matters, and violations of city ordinances. That city jurisdiction sits apart from the Harrison County Justice, County, Circuit, and Chancery courts, though a Long Beach case can still reach a county court through appeal or another state-law route.

The Long Beach Municipal Court source page sets out the court's location, schedule, and procedures.
That official page supports the city-court route. It still offers no online Long Beach docket search, and the clerk remains the source for current case information.
Long Beach Court Payment Routes
Long Beach accepts payments several ways. The ticket service handles online and telephone payments by card. A 3% convenience fee applies to cards. In person, the court takes cash, check, money order, or cashier's check. Mailed payments go to PO Box 929. The city says plainly: do not send cash by mail. Amounts and methods can change, so follow the live city instructions before you pay. Paying is not the same as resolving your case. A payment does not tell you whether a court appearance is still required. It also does not show whether the city record was continued, appealed, or certified. Keep your proof of payment. If a date is still pending, ask the Long Beach clerk to confirm the current court status. The payment route never substitutes for a Long Beach court docket sheet. The official Long Beach homepage carries the municipal payment and court channels in one place.
The city page gives context only. It cannot show that your individual citation is payable online or that its court date has been satisfied.
Finding Long Beach Court Dates
Your Long Beach court date appears first on the citation or court notice. Then verify it with the clerk. The regular Wednesday 3 p.m. schedule, with no court on a fifth Wednesday, gives useful context. But context is not a specific setting. If your date has passed, contact Long Beach promptly. Do not assume the old setting still stands. Do not assume a payment screen holds the current answer.
| Long Beach court | Confirms that the record belongs to Municipal Court rather than a county docket. |
|---|---|
| Citation or case number | Identifies the Long Beach city matter for the clerk. |
| Setting date and time | Come from the citation or current Long Beach court instruction. |
| Regular calendar | Wednesday at 3 p.m., except no fifth Wednesday, is the published Long Beach schedule. |
| Current status | Requires Long Beach clerk confirmation after a payment, request, missed setting, or appeal. |
Long Beach warns that a missed date can bring a court consequence or a warrant. Act fast. Call the Long Beach court rather than trusting a ticket-service screen.
Long Beach Court Fine Examples
The city publishes a partial traffic fine table. Examples include careless driving at $187 and failure to dim at $228. Following too closely runs $228, and improper lane usage at $217. No insurance third offense runs $628. A seatbelt ticket is $25. Speeding falls between $177 and $257. Those figures come from the Long Beach page itself. They are not permanent statewide rules. Check the live table and your citation before paying anything.
| Long Beach listed example | Official page amount |
|---|---|
| Careless driving | $187 |
| Failure to dim | $228 |
| Improper lane usage | $217 |
| Seatbelt | $25 |
| Speeding bands | $177 to $257 |
The Mississippi Bar court-system overview explains where municipal courts sit within the state structure. That framework helps place the Long Beach Municipal Court route in context.
A state-system figure cannot set a Long Beach fine. For a city amount, rely on the current Long Beach court page and the individual ticket.
Long Beach Traffic Ticket Lookups
A Long Beach ticket starts at Long Beach Municipal Court. That is true whenever it names that city court. That covers traffic tickets, misdemeanors, and ordinance matters. The city information page and its linked ticket service come first for a docket search. A Harrison County Justice Court traffic result may be a different file, even for a ticket tied to the same county. Be careful there. Give the clerk the citation number exactly as printed.
If you are eligible to pay, follow the live city instructions and keep proof of the payment. A hearing, a missed date, a contest, or a record request belongs with the Municipal Court. Call that office directly. Countywide channels are explained in Harrison County traffic court records. They never replace the Long Beach court for a city ticket.
Long Beach Continuance Rules
Long Beach requires a written motion for any continuance. File it at least five business days before trial. The court grants no continuance at the initial appearance. Filing the motion is only a request, and the city page makes clear that approval is never promised. A scheduled Long Beach date stays in force until the court itself changes it.
There is another city quirk. The Municipal Court does not accept e-filed pleadings, a real difference from the MEC-enabled state courts. Skip any state electronic route for a city pleading. Ask the clerk. The clerk can confirm the current filing method, your receipt, and the case number.
A written continuance request is not the same as a granted reset, so confirm the next setting with the clerk before you rely on it.
How Long Beach Cases Reach the County
A Long Beach Municipal Court case stays a city matter unless it is appealed or otherwise routed out under law. Appeal goes to Harrison County Court. The city page sets a 30-day deadline. Preserve the Long Beach citation or case number first. Then ask the city clerk and the receiving county clerk whether a new county number was assigned. The county Justice, County, and Circuit pages are no substitute for the Long Beach ticket record itself.
Docket flow: Long Beach Municipal Court › Harrison County Courts › Circuit Court
Identify the receiving court first. Only then search its county schedule. The Harrison County court docket overview helps you tell the county courts apart, while the city clerk remains the source for the earlier Long Beach record.
Long Beach County Appeal Records
The 30-day County Court appeal rule is a Long Beach routing fact. It does not mean every ticket becomes a county case. An appeal may carry a new county number. So keep the Long Beach citation, the filing date, and any receipt or order. Ask the receiving clerk to locate the later record.
One more layer sits outside the city system. Federal matters can arise in Gulfport. The Southern District court-locations page lists those federal courthouses, and that federal layer never merges with Long Beach city matters.
The split is the lesson. A Long Beach Municipal Court file, a Harrison County appeal, and a federal docket are separate records systems.
Who Can See Long Beach Court Records
Mississippi judicial access rules govern Long Beach court records, along with applicable procedure and limits inside individual files. Paying a ticket does not open every document. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, restricted, redacted, domestic, medical, and protected material may be unavailable. Some files simply stay closed. Treat a no-result as proof of nothing.
Key Rules:
Mississippi judicial public-records policy recognizes openness subject to confidentiality law, rules, and sealing orders.
Mississippi Code §§25-61-5 and 25-61-7 address public-body access procedures and actual production costs.
Mississippi Code §§43-21-261 and 99-19-71 concern juvenile confidentiality and expunction limits.
Ask Long Beach for whatever non-restricted record exists. Give the exact citation or case number. Request the current copy procedure too, since a plain copy and a certified copy can differ in availability or cost. Do not assume the ticket-service route can supply either one.
Long Beach Court Record Copies
A good Long Beach record request should be specific. Name the Municipal Court, the citation or case number, the date range, the document, the format, and whether certification is needed. Then ask the clerk about cost. The Long Beach clerk sets the current fee, the payment method, the delivery route, and any in-person pickup rule. No certified-copy fee schedule appears on the city page. So never treat a figure from a traffic fine table as the record-copy price. Confirm before you pay anything.
Long Beach counted 16,780 residents in the 2020 Census. That number is city context. It is not a count of court cases. The practical details matter for a court record. These include Wednesday court, no fifth Wednesday, the payment channels, no cash by mail, the 3% card fee, the written continuance timing, no e-filed pleadings, and the County Court appeal route.
For a county appeal or any other receiving-court matter, skip the ticket vendor. The county schedule pages show selected current settings only. Mississippi Electronic Courts and its Public Access to MEC (PAMEC) offer a separate registered route for participating non-restricted records. A remote PAMEC search can carry registration and returned-page charges. The receiving clerk can tell you whether the appeal docket, filing, or certified copy is available and what identifying number to use.
