Cobb County State Court Clerk Criminal Division Contact Number: (770) 528-1246 The cases processed by the Criminal Division are categorized into three different types of cases: Traffic Violations Bureau (T.V.B.) cases (traffic citations allowing payment of bond/fine in lieu of court appearance), Traffic cases (traffic citations that require a court appearance or involve an accident), and Misdemeanor cases. In 2007, the Criminal Division filed 7,720 misdemeanor cases and 108,397 traffic cases. File Retrieval Ten years of cases are kept on location at the State Court Clerk’s Office. All cases filed prior to 1997, once completed, are stored off site. These cases can be ordered for a fee of $7 which is payable in advance. Fees:
Leave of Absence When filing a Motion for Leave of Absence an original must be filed for each case, or, if filing one leave and attaching a list of cases, a copy must be provided to be filed in each case. The Court does not require an order to be filed with each case; the Court has a standing order. Calendars Notice of Court dates are either acknowledged in person or are mailed to the Defendant. Change of Address It is the defendant’s responsibility to notify the court in writing of any change of address. Sureties and attorneys are also responsible for notifying the court in writing of any change of address. The change of address must be submitted on each case in which the defendant, surety, and/or attorney is associated. Failure to do so could result in not receiving notification of a court date change, which could result in a bench warrant being issued for failure to appear. Change of Address Forms are published in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format. To view and print these forms, you will need to download and install this FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader. |
