How the Worth County Court Calendar Works
Worth County sits in the Tifton Judicial Circuit. The circuit publishes its Superior Court calendar online through the Tifton Judicial Circuit calendar. Four counties share it: Worth, Irwin, Tift, and Turner. Filters include Show All, the Master Calendar, each individual county, and three judge groups. Colors mark which county an event belongs to. Opening an event can reveal its location and the presiding judge.
The Worth filter runs on calendar ID 3. Visitors can switch among month, week, day, and list views. They can adjust date parameters, or use "Search for Events." Every Superior Court judge also has a separate calendar. Together these controls trim a busy circuit display down to the Worth County court schedule entries that matter.
One caution applies. The calendar does not promise that every case in a session gets its own public event. It also cannot replace a case setting in PeachCourt. The clerk's file, a filed notice, or an instruction straight from the court still governs.
Worth County ONLY Filter
The direct Worth County ONLY calendar state shows the county filter and its date controls in action. It cuts cross-county noise, and from there you can move to the month, week, day, or list you need. Run an event search only after the Worth filter is active.
| Control | Choice | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| County | Worth County ONLY | Limits the circuit view to Worth events |
| Judge | A, B, or C | Shows dates tied to one judge group |
| Event search | Free text | Filters titles or descriptions |
| View | Month, week, day, list | Changes the time span and layout |
| Date URL | view, month, day, year, calendar | Opens a selected calendar state |

Filters are the practical public starting point. For one party's official date, the case record and the court's own notice still govern.
Worth County Court Date Lookups
Use every channel when the date matters. The online calendar is fastest, but Worth County also offers PeachCourt, the clerk by phone or at the counter, mailed or faxed questions, daily schedule PDFs, and instructions from the municipal courts directly. No single route reaches every local court.
- Identify Superior, State, Magistrate, Probate, Juvenile, or municipal court from the notice or citation.
- For Superior Court, filter the circuit calendar to Worth County ONLY and open the relevant date.
- Check PeachCourt for the case-register setting when the matter is in covered Superior or State Court.
- Search the circuit Daily Schedules page for a judge and year PDF when one is posted.
- Call the Worth clerk at (229) 776-8205 or visit Room 13 for a date not shown online.
- Use the city court’s instructions for Sylvester or Poulan citations rather than the county Superior calendar.
Put four things in any mailed or faxed question: the court, the case number, a party name, and the setting date in question. The clerk's fax is (229) 776-8237. Mail goes to 201 N. Main St., Courthouse Room 13, Sylvester, GA 31791. Ask the office how it prefers time-sensitive requests.
Worth Schedule Event Vocabulary
The official feed sorts events into local classes such as "Civil Hearings," "Civil Trials," "Criminal Calendar Call," "Criminal Arraignments/Hearings," "Criminal Trials," "State Ct. Arraignments," and DFCS settings. A label names the session type, nothing more. It is not a final disposition, and each case in the room may not be listed by name.
- Calendar call
- A session used to check case status, readiness, or scheduling.
- Arraignment
- A criminal setting where charges and a plea may be addressed.
- Civil hearing
- A setting on a motion or issue before final resolution.
- Trial
- A scheduled merits proceeding, subject to later court change.
- All-day event
- A calendar flag that may describe the session, not a promise that one case lasts all day.
Open the event detail and read the location, date, judge description, and duration if they appear. Then match that setting against the case register or the filed notice.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
The circuit feed exposes a safe set of interface fields. An event object can carry a title, primary calendar, calendar displays, a start, an optional end, an optional duration, a location, a description, recurrence, color, all-day status, a URL, an image, and record identifiers. Clicking an event may reveal date, title, subtitle, description, location, and duration. An ICS export sometimes appears. It shows up when events exist.
| Date and time | The scheduled start and, when supplied, an end or duration. |
|---|---|
| Location | The courthouse or hearing place entered for the event. |
| Judge | The presiding-judge description when the event includes one. |
| Setting type | The event title, such as civil hearing or criminal calendar call. |
| Calendar ID | The county or judge display group, including Worth calendar ID 3. |
A setting record is not a full docket. Pleadings, service, motions, orders, pleas, judgments, and sentences are all missing from it. Use it for where and when. Use the clerk or PeachCourt for what was filed.
Worth Judge Filters A B C
On the circuit calendar, the judge filters are marked A, B, and C. Those letters map to the judges themselves. The official judge roster names them: Chief Judge Bill Reinhardt, Judge Melanie B. Cross, and Judge Ralph Powell. Remember that each judge serves the whole circuit. Worth County is only part of it. The county filter and the judge filter answer two different questions.
The official roster page for these Tifton circuit judges lists each one's assignment.
The roster decodes the calendar shorthand. A judge filter shows one judge's work across the circuit. Worth County ONLY narrows events by county. Apply both carefully when confirming a local setting.
When a Worth Court Date Moves
Dates move. A reset, continuance, cancellation, or revised notice can change a date after it first appears. The public calendar is only a convenience layer. What controls is the current case entry, the filed notice, and any instruction from the court itself. Remember that a reset is not a dismissal. A removed calendar event does not prove the case ended either.
Check three sources against each other. These are the case register in PeachCourt or the clerk's file, the circuit calendar or daily schedule, and the court's latest notice. When they conflict, call the clerk. Worth's public clerk page lists no separate coordinator line and no same-day update cutoff. Use the main number, and name the court, the case, the judge if known, and the disputed date.
Confirm any changed setting before you travel or face a filing deadline. An older printout may no longer match the court's current order.
Worth Daily Schedule Archive
Another route sits at the Daily Schedules document center. Schedule files there are grouped by judge and year. A "Search for file name" field helps you pull up older items fast. The PDFs give good context for past hearings. Still, a posted file is not the full Worth County court docket.
The circuit's document center shows the full list of daily schedule files.
Try judge or date terms in the file name, then check the current calendar and the clerk before counting on it. A saved PDF can show a schedule that the court later changed.
Worth Calendar Versus Case Docket
The Worth County court schedule and a case docket overlap, but they answer different questions. The calendar gathers court events into one place. It lists time, place, event type, and judge details when entered. A docket works differently. It is the case register in chronological order. That register holds filings from before and after any setting, such as a continuance, order, judgment, plea, sentence, appeal, or closure.
| Question | Calendar | Case docket |
|---|---|---|
| When and where? | Primary public use | May contain the formal setting entry |
| What was filed? | Usually not shown | Chronological entries and possible links |
| What happened? | Event title is not proof | Read the order or disposition entry |
| Certified proof? | No | Request a certified document from the clerk |

It points you to the county-level schedule route and nothing more. For the fuller case history, turn to PeachCourt or the responsible clerk.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Missing a setting can carry real consequences that vary by case. Do not lean on an old calendar capture. Do not wait for the matter to reset itself. Call the court or clerk promptly. Give the case number and the missed date, and ask what the official record shows now. A lawyer can advise on legal options. Clerk staff can explain records and procedure, but they cannot give legal advice.
Act promptly: Call the Worth clerk at (229) 776-8205 for a Superior or State matter, or the correct Magistrate, Probate, Juvenile, or municipal court for its case. Ask whether an order, warrant, reset, or new notice was entered and how to obtain the public record.
Room 13 at 201 N. Main St. in Sylvester keeps its doors open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., per the official clerk listing. Got a city citation? Take it to the municipal court named on the ticket. A federal setting assigned to the Albany Division is different again. Use the federal court's own calendar or PACER, not the state circuit schedule.
