Comanche County Felony Records

Comanche County felony records are filed at the District Court in Lawton, the largest city in southwest Oklahoma. The county sits in Judicial District 5, which has seven judges handling criminal and civil cases. You can search felony cases for free through OSCN or visit the Criminal Office at Suite 504 of the courthouse. Comanche County sees a higher volume of felony filings than most Oklahoma counties due to the size of the Lawton area. The Court Clerk manages all case files, docket entries, and records requests. Whether you need a quick online lookup or certified copies of court documents, the Lawton courthouse is the central hub for all Comanche County felony records.

Comanche County Court Clerk Office

The Comanche County Court Clerk handles all felony case records at the courthouse in Lawton. The Criminal Office is in Suite 504 at 315 SW 5th Street. This is where you go for felony records, criminal case files, and copies of court documents. The Civil Office is in a separate location at Suite 207, and Small Claims is in Room 204. For felony records specifically, Suite 504 is the right stop.

Comanche County is part of the 5th Judicial District. Seven judges serve the district, so the caseload is spread across multiple courtrooms. Felony cases use the CF-YYYY-XXXX format. Each record shows the defendant name, date of birth, charges, offense details, file date, court proceedings, disposition, sentencing, and attorney information. The criminal database has records from around 1990 forward. The Court Clerk can also help with older case files that may not be in the digital system yet. Land records are indexed from March 1987 and are handled separately by County Clerk Carrie Tubbs in Room 304.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act (51 O.S. § 24A.1) makes most court records available to the public. You do not need to give a reason to search them. Some records, like juvenile and expunged cases, are sealed by law.

County Clerk Carrie Tubbs handles land and property records from Room 304. You can reach her office at (580) 355-5214 or by email at countyclerk@comanchecounty.us. For felony records, contact the Criminal Office at Suite 504.
