Beaver County Felony Records

Beaver County felony records are on file at the District Court in Beaver, the county seat. This is a rural county in the Oklahoma Panhandle with a small population, so the volume of criminal filings is low compared to larger counties. You can search for felony cases through the Oklahoma State Courts Network at no cost. The Court Clerk at the Beaver County Courthouse handles requests for copies of criminal court documents. If you plan to visit in person, call ahead to confirm availability since the office staff in smaller counties may have limited hours or scheduling differences.

Beaver County District Court

The Beaver County Courthouse is the home of the District Court. All felony records filed in the county are kept here. The courthouse mailing address is P.O. Box 338, Beaver, OK 73932. You can call (580) 625-3151 to reach the office. This is a small operation, so the same staff may handle multiple types of requests.

Felony records from Beaver County include the offender's name and month/year of birth, offense details, case number, file date, and disposition information. Cases use the standard Oklahoma format where felony filings start with the CF prefix. Records in the online system go back to 1999. Older files exist at the courthouse in paper form. If you need something from before 1999, an in-person visit or a phone call to the clerk is the way to go.
