Access Slidell Criminal Court Records

Slidell criminal court records come from two court systems: the St. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court for 22nd Judicial District Court cases, and the Slidell City Court for local misdemeanor and traffic matters. Whether you need to find a felony case filing or a city court record, this page covers the online tools and in-person options available to search Slidell criminal court records.

Slidell City Court

The City Court of Slidell serves East St. Tammany Parish and handles minor criminal matters, traffic cases, and local ordinance violations. The court is at 501 Bouscaren Street in Slidell. Phone number is (985) 643-1274. Custodian Sherry Philips can be reached at extension 233. The Slidell City Marshal can be contacted at (985) 847-1901 for enforcement matters connected to city court cases.

City court records are separate from 22nd JDC district court records. If the case involves a traffic violation, a local misdemeanor, or a city ordinance charge, the records will be at the City Court of Slidell rather than at the St. Tammany Clerk's Slidell Annex. Checking both offices is the safest approach when you are not sure which court handled a specific case. Minor matters often stay in city court and never go to the district level.

The City Court of Slidell at citycourtest.com handles minor criminal matters, traffic cases, and small claims for the Slidell area.

Criminal records from the City Court of Slidell are separate from the 22nd JDC filings held at the St. Tammany Clerk's office.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Criminal Records division can be reached at (985) 809-8242 for arrest and incident records that are separate from court filings.

State Criminal Record Resources

Louisiana State Police maintains the statewide criminal record repository under La. R.S. 15:578. An official conviction record costs $31 through LSP's background check portal. The result covers St. Tammany Parish and all other Louisiana parishes. Louisiana is a closed record state under La. R.S. 15:587, so the official check shows convictions but not arrests that did not lead to conviction.

Free state tools include the Louisiana DOC Offender Search for people supervised by the Department of Corrections, and the Louisiana Sex Offender Registry searchable by name or location. Both cover Slidell cases where the person received a state-level sentence. La. R.S. 44:1 guarantees public access to court records in Louisiana, and La. R.S. 44:32(A) requires clerks to make records available to any adult who requests them.

In-Person and Mail Requests

For 22nd JDC records, visit the Slidell Annex at 520 Old Spanish Trail, 5th Floor, or the main St. Tammany Clerk office in Covington. Bring the defendant's full name and any case number you have. For Slidell City Court records, visit 501 Bouscaren Street directly. Mail requests to either office should include defendant name, case number if known, approximate case year, and payment for estimated fees. The Slidell Annex is the most convenient option for Slidell residents since it is within the city rather than across the lake in Covington.

Expungement in St. Tammany Parish

Expungement motions for Slidell cases go to the 22nd Judicial District Court through the St. Tammany Parish Clerk. La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971 governs eligibility across Louisiana. Arrests without conviction and some first-time non-violent convictions may qualify. Violent offenses and sex crimes are generally not eligible.

Standard expungement fees are $200 to the clerk, $250 to the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information, $50 to the district attorney, and $50 to the sheriff, totaling $550 before attorney costs. City court records at the Slidell City Court may require a separate expungement process if the conviction was at the city court level rather than the district court. Consult a criminal defense attorney familiar with both the 22nd JDC and the Slidell City Court if you are unsure which court holds the record you want to expunge.
