Love County Felony Records

Love County felony records are held at the District Court in Marietta. The Court Clerk manages all criminal felony case files for the 20th Judicial District, and you can search these records for free through OSCN. Love County sits along the Texas border in south-central Oklahoma and handles felony cases for the Marietta and Thackerville areas. Records have been indexed from February 1986 forward, giving you access to nearly four decades of felony case data. Whether you need to search for a specific case or get certified copies, the Court Clerk's office in Marietta is your primary contact for Love County felony records.

Love County Felony Records Office

The Love County Court Clerk keeps all felony case records at the courthouse on Main Street in Marietta. You can visit during business hours to search records, request copies, or have documents certified. The office also accepts mail requests and can be reached by fax for questions about pending requests.

Love County also has a County Clerk, Shelly Russell, who handles land records and county filings. For felony case records, the Court Clerk is the correct office. Love County has Municipal Courts in Marietta and Thackerville, but those handle city ordinance cases and misdemeanors. All felony matters go through the District Court, and the Court Clerk has those records.

The County Clerk can be reached at (580) 276-3059 if you need land records or property filings. Keep the two offices separate in your mind so you contact the right one.
