Thorntown Court Docket Searches
Thorntown Town Court 06I01 stopped existing effective December 31, 2022. So there is no current Thorntown court portal to search. Work from the exact cause or citation number plus the filing date. The Indiana MyCase portal lets you search several ways. Try case number, citation number, cross-reference, party name, business name, or attorney. Older converted data can still show the 06I01 code.
- Copy the number, court, case type, and date from the paper.
- Search MyCase by the full number before trying a name.
- Compare the result header with 06I01 and the filing date.
- Read the CCS from oldest to newest for a transfer or disposition.
- Ask Boone Clerk where the former record is maintained if no match appears.
Searching a name alone can pull together people who have nothing to do with each other, so narrow it by court, status, and dates. A missing result is not always an answer: the record may be confidential, sealed, expunged, or simply an incomplete converted file.
Thorntown Court Abolition Date
Current Administrative Rule 8 and the official state order both mark Thorntown Town Court abolished on December 31, 2022. That present rule controls. A stale Boone county page still names Thorntown among five municipal courts, but the old sentence only describes historic structure. It cannot support a present filing or hearing instruction.
Current status: 06I01 is a former court identifier. Thorntown has no active town court to receive a new case or confirm a current setting.
Abolition does not erase case history. Questions about copies, payment, satisfaction, correction, or appeals can still turn on the old cause number. Keep the number and the date handy when asking who holds the record now.
Inside the Thorntown Municipal Court
No current Thorntown Municipal Court exists. The former 06I01 code still shows up on archived notices, historical MyCase entries, and older town material. It tells you where a case began, not where a request should be filed today. Check the chronology for transfer and successor information.
A present case arising in Thorntown can belong to Boone Circuit, Superior I, or Superior II, depending on case type and local assignment rules. Codes 06C01, 06D01, and 06D02 point to those county courts. Where the incident happened does not set the docket.
Thorntown Town Hall Fallback
Thorntown Town Hall sits at 101 W. Main Street, Thorntown, IN 46071. Its civic phone is 765-436-2205. Treat it as a town-government contact. It is not a town-court portal. Reaching staff there is no promise Hall holds the former judicial file. They can identify municipal offices, town records, and the written public-information process.

Civic and town-record contact, not an active court.

The image helps separate a valid local contact from the abolished 06I01 court.
Finding Thorntown Court Dates
A current hearing belongs to whatever active court is named on the case paper. Indiana's Trial Court Calendars portal covers participating courts only, and it lists no Boone court option. A blank calendar result does not cancel a hearing, so confirm elsewhere.
| Date | The day on the newest valid notice or CCS entry. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated appearance time, distinct from office hours. |
| Court | The active court shown in the current cause number. |
| Code | 06I01 marks the former Thorntown court. |
| Setting type | Appearance, conference, trial, compliance event, or other hearing. |
After a continuance, read the entries for the reset date. If the public entry is unclear, call the named county court with the cause number in hand.
Thorntown Written Town Requests
The Town of Thorntown requires public-information requests in writing. Mail one to the Town Clerk at 101 W. Main Street, PO Box 127, Thorntown, IN 46071, or use the official town-clerk email on the municipal request page. Describe the town record with enough detail to identify it.
| Request | Custodian to start with | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| Town ordinance or meeting record | Thorntown Town Clerk | Subject and approximate date |
| Former 06I01 case record | Court-record custodian or Boone Clerk routing | Cause number and filing date |
| Current county case | Boone County Clerk | 06C01, 06D01, or 06D02 number |
A town-information request is not a court filing. Nor does it turn a town administrative record into a CCS. It does not create a certified judicial order either.
Shape the request around the record, not a broad question. For an ordinance, give its number or topic plus an approximate adoption date. For correspondence or meeting material, identify the office, the subject, and the date range. A former court request needs different facts. Give the 06I01 cause number, the party name as printed, the filing year, and the specific CCS, order, or case-file item sought. If Town Hall does not hold that judicial record, ask for the correct custodian. Do not ask staff to recreate a docket. The Boone Clerk can help route county and transferred record questions. Still, the inquiry should never be described as a new filing. Inspection, a plain copy, and a certified copy are different products. State which one you need, so the receiving office can answer the right request.
Thorntown Traffic Ticket Lookups
A former Thorntown ticket may carry 06I01. A current ticket should name an active court. Search by the UTT number and issuing court. Indiana ePay also takes a driver's-license number, or a name and date of birth. Not every ticket appears. The portal warns a new ticket may need ten business days.
Follow the court if the citation uses a Boone county code. If it uses historical 06I01, ask which custodian holds the old file. Boone payment and prosecutor deferral details are with the Boone County traffic court records. Do not pay first when seeking deferral review. Payment may block that option.
Thorntown Record and Docket Differences
Town administrative files and former court files answer different questions. An ordinance states the town rule, while meeting minutes show legislative action. A CCS shows judicial events in a case. The case file may hold pleadings, service, motions, and orders. A certified copy has to come from the custodian of the court record.
- CCS
- The Chronological Case Summary, Indiana's official event sequence.
- Case file
- The broader set of pleadings, service, motions, and rulings.
- Cause number
- The official case number that includes the court identifier.
- Transfer
- Movement to another court, sometimes changing the search route.
- Certified copy
- A clerk-authenticated copy rather than a portal printout.
One converted line on a docket rarely tells the whole story. When you need proof in a Thorntown matter, request the CCS plus the named document itself.
Thorntown E-Filing Is Not Search
Indiana's e-filing system takes documents only through an approved electronic filing service provider. That is filing, not searching. MyCase shows the public slice of Odyssey data. The clerk keeps the official court record for Thorntown-related county cases and for any question about a former municipal file. The official Indiana e-filing source lays out filing routes for attorneys. It also covers people representing themselves.
People often open a filing service when they really want a public Thorntown court record. Knowing which tool does which job saves that detour.
How Thorntown Cases Reach the County
Current matters above the old municipal tier go to the Boone courts. Superior II holds exclusive small claims and county traffic infractions. Superior I holds exclusive probate, estate, guardianship, and adoption assignments. Circuit handles exclusive paternity, CHINS, juvenile delinquency, and status-offense jurisdiction. Its criminal and civil work is broad.
Docket flow: Former Thorntown Town Court › Current Boone County Court › Boone Circuit Court
Remember, the line above is a search aid. It is not a universal procedural path. Appeals open a separate Indiana appellate docket, and federal cases run through PACER; the Boone County court docket overview maps the county layer.
Thorntown Bankruptcy Record Layer
A bankruptcy tied to a Thorntown address never lands in Indiana MyCase or the former town court. It sits in federal court. Boone County falls under the Indianapolis Division of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and those federal records live in PACER and Bankruptcy CM/ECF. The official bankruptcy court source lists the Indianapolis Division, its contact details, public hours, and its service to Boone County.
That federal channel stands apart and never replaces a Boone or historical Thorntown court search.
Thorntown Court History Geography
The 2020 Census incorporated-place table counted 1,432 Thorntown residents. The town's official welcome page places it at State Roads 47 and 75. That spot sits in northwest Boone County. It also names Sugar Creek, the Big Four Trail, and the Carnegie Library. The Festival of the Turning Leaves appears there too. None of that implies a current court; the landmarks simply ground the town record.
Thorntown holds a direct piece of court history too. Boone Circuit's official history records its first term in Jamestown, its second in Thorntown, and its third in Lebanon. A stable courthouse center emerged after that. That early history is separate from the later town court. The town court's 2022 abolition is a different chapter entirely.
Who Can See Thorntown Court Records
Indiana presumes court records are open, but exclusions apply. Juvenile, adoption, paternity, mental-health, sealed, and expunged files may be missing or restricted. Town records largely follow the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, while judicial files answer to court access rules.
Key rules:
Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern judicial access and exclusions.
Trial Rule 77 defines the CCS, case file, order record, and clerk duties.
Indiana Access to Public Records Act applies to town records without replacing court rules.
Requesting a former case? Bring the cause number, filing date, document title, and the format you want. Then ask the office now holding the file whether inspection, a plain copy, or certification is available.
