Filing Procedures:

On June 5, 2019 the Municipal Court went live with the State of Missouri Court software. Cases filed with the Court after June 5, 2019 will be located on Missouri CaseNet. Once a case is filed with the Court it will appear on the CaseNet site.

E-filing is required for those cases as located on CaseNet for this Court.

If the case was filed with the Court prior to June 5, 2019 you must manually submit your filings with the Court.

• If you are awaiting a response from the Court or the Office of the Prosecutor and you have not received a response prior to the court date, you may either appear as scheduled or submit a Motion to Continue the case to allow for additional time. Continuances are not automatically granted, a request must be filed. The Prosecutor cannot grant continuances.
