Duties of the Circuit Court ClerkOur Court Clerk and the Deputy Clerks must take an oath of office specific to the office of court clerk as well as the constitutional oath. Our office handles both general sessions and circuit court with both civil and criminal jurisdiction in each court.
Clerk and the Deputies serve an important role in the operation of the Tennessee court system. The duties of the clerk and/or deputies of our office are to attend each court session with all the papers for the case on the docket, administering oaths to parties and witnesses who testify, keeping electronic records of criminal court preliminary hearings, maintaining records of all court judgments or degrees in order of rendition of all receipts and disbursements in a case. Our office handles civil proceedings in both court including issuing civil warrants, detainer warrants, executions by garnishment, bank levy, on person, vehicles or property.
In addition we handle criminal proceedings by issuing warrant or summons. Arrest warrants are to be issued upon the request of the District Attorney's office or an officer of the Henderson Police Department or the Chester County Sheriff's Department. Subpoenas are issued by our office for court proceedings at the digression of the District Attorney's Office. All traffic tickets issued by the Tennessee Highway Patrol's and the Chester County Sheriff's Department are entered through our court, with court hearings and payment of these citations. Traffic tickets, other than minor traffic issues, issued by the Henderson Police Department are also handled by our office. We schedule court dates and maintain calendars for court hearings. A Capias or Bench Warrant is issued by our office when someone fails to appear in court proceedings. Bookkeeping for both courts are maintained daily, monthly, and yearly with reports and payment mailed to appropriate recipients.
