Why We Built This Site
West Virginia provides broad public access to many court records, yet Wirt County uses more than one custodian and search path. Carol Frame, the Circuit Clerk, keeps circuit and family files. Tracy Ann Nelson, the Magistrate Clerk, is the local contact for magistrate civil, criminal, and traffic matters. WVPASS supplies public circuit access, while MCR supplies magistrate case information without online documents. The County Clerk separately keeps deeds, liens, probate-related papers, vital records, and county commission material. Bringing those distinctions, official contacts, and request steps together helps a reader begin with the office that actually holds the desired item.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference resource, with no connection to a Wirt County court, a West Virginia clerk, or any government agency. Its role has firm limits:
- It cannot retrieve an official docket sheet or complete case file
- It cannot change, continue, cancel, or reset a hearing date
- It cannot alter, remove, expunge, or seal a docket entry
- It cannot authenticate or issue a certified court document
- It cannot provide legal advice about a specific matter
- It cannot promise that a fee, contact, or live setting has not changed
An official or certified docket sheet, order, or case record must come from the clerk that keeps the file or the court that heard the matter. Always verify the copy and current status with that originating office.
Search Partners
Search boxes appearing on some pages are operated by outside providers. Each provider controls its service, results, and prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports public access to this resource. Wirt County Court Docket does not set those charges or determine which records an outside service returns. Official information should still be confirmed with the court or clerk that maintains it.
