Prowers County Clerk of Court Office

Becky Fletcher is listed by the Colorado Judicial Branch as Clerk of Court, Jury Commissioner, and Probate Registrar for Prowers County Combined Court. The court office is in Suite 300 of the courthouse building at 301 S. Main in Lamar. The main court phone is 719-336-7424, the court fax is 719-336-8976, Becky Fletcher's listed phone is 719-336-8947, and the listed email is becky.fletcher@judicial.state.co.us. The location hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Prowers County Combined Court location page places both District Court and County Court operations in the same combined court office. That means the Clerk of Court is the local access point for filings and copy questions tied to felony, civil, domestic relations, probate, juvenile, misdemeanor, traffic, small claims, and protection-order case files handled by the state courts in Prowers County.

Prowers County Clerk Records Split

The research identifies a split clerk structure. Becky Fletcher's Clerk of Court office handles court case-file access, docket-document requests, jury administration, and probate registrar functions. Jana Coen's County Clerk and Recorder office handles recording, marriage licenses, elections, motor vehicle, and county administrative records. A person who asks the wrong office may lose time, especially when the record name sounds similar.

Prowers County Clerk Source Screens

The official Prowers County Clerk and Recorder page is useful mainly because it shows the split from court files: Jana Coen's county office handles recording and marriage services, while Becky Fletcher handles the court clerk role.

This distinction keeps Prowers County court record requests with the Combined Court rather than the county recorder's office.

The Prowers County Tyler self-service disclaimer supports the same point because it describes a recorder index that users must treat like a card catalog, not as the underlying court document.

Tyler real estate self-service can help with recorded instruments, but it is not a Prowers County court case search.

The county marriage license page also belongs to the Clerk and Recorder side of the split and is separate from divorce case files kept by the District Court.

Marriage licenses and divorce decrees often get searched together, but Prowers County stores them through different offices.

Request Prowers County Court Copies

Certified court copies are requested through the Colorado Judicial Branch court-record process or by contacting Prowers County Combined Court. A certified copy is typically needed when the document must prove a court action to another agency, employer, court, title company, or government office. Examples include a divorce decree, permanent orders, criminal disposition, judgment, probate letters, or an order from a civil case.

The public docket is useful before a certified-copy request because it can identify the case number, hearing type, court level, and appearance setting. The docket still does not replace the clerk's copy process. It shows case events, while the Clerk of Court handles the request for the document itself. For Prowers County, that distinction applies to felony cases, civil cases, domestic relations, probate, juvenile matters, County Court misdemeanors, traffic cases, and small claims handled in the combined court.

1. Use the docket search to identify the case number when possible.
2. Confirm whether the case is District Court or County Court if that is known.
3. Use the Colorado Judicial Branch record/document request form or contact Prowers County Combined Court.
4. Name the exact document needed, such as decree, order, judgment, letters, or disposition.
5. Ask whether certification, redaction review, ID, or a fee applies.
6. Wait for the court's response, which the research says is usually within three business days absent extenuating circumstances.

Prowers County Clerk Request Fields

The statewide court record/document request form collects requester contact information and case identifiers. A clear request helps the Prowers County Clerk of Court locate the file and decide whether public access, ID, or redaction rules apply.

Prowers County Clerk of Court Fees

The research did not locate an official Prowers-specific per-page court copy fee or certification fee. It did locate several county and sheriff record fees, but those are not a substitute for court-document fees. The correct approach is to ask the Clerk of Court for current cost when requesting court copies.

Note: Do not use sheriff or recorder fee schedules to estimate court-file copy costs.

Prowers County Clerk Access Limits

The Clerk of Court can restrict access under statutes, court rules, Chief Justice Directives, local orders, and other legal authorities. The Colorado court request page specifically warns that suppressed cases, juvenile and probate records, or documents containing confidential or protected information may require a U.S. government-issued photo ID. Remote public access under CJD 05-01 does not include many addresses, phone numbers, victim information, witness information, financial details, or confidential free-text data.

For practical Prowers County record work, use the public docket to find the case number and hearing information, then ask the Clerk of Court for the document. That route is better than assuming the docket result is the record. A docket can point to a case, but the Clerk of Court controls the court-copy process for orders, pleadings, dispositions, probate documents, and certified copies.

Becky Fletcher's probate registrar role adds another reason to keep court and county offices separate. Estate files, guardianships, conservatorships, probate letters, and District Court probate orders are not marriage-license or recorder records. They may be searched through the court docket when public enough to appear there, but copy access still runs through the court record/document request process and may require ID or redaction review.
