How Colorado court cases end: convictions, dismissals and pending cases. About 73,000 records across Colorado, read as a whole; approximate, not an official figure.
Among the Colorado court records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is drug possession (85%), followed by traffic offenses (not DUI) (4%) and public order, trespass and property damage (4%). A record can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%.
Every figure is a share of the records we index for Colorado, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The county pages carry the same picture for each county where enough records exist; criminal charge types explains the categories.
Colorado court case search: the courts and the clerk.
Felony cases in Colorado are heard in the District Court, misdemeanors in the County Court, and the clerk of the combined courts keeps the case files. Colorado publishes a statewide court source, and a name search here includes it, so a result can show the disposition.
A name is a weak key on a court index. The court case search by name page explains how a name fails and what narrows it; the court records search page covers the record layer itself.
Beyond Colorado court records: jail rosters and arrest records by county. The same counties, the other two questions.

Colorado court records FAQ
How do I search Colorado court records by name?
Pick the county below, then search the full name with a date of birth; a name alone matches everyone who shares it. The clerk of the combined courts can search by name and date of birth or by case number.
Which court hears criminal cases in Colorado?
Felony cases are heard in the District Court; misdemeanors go to the County Court. The clerk of the combined courts keeps the case files.
Does Colorado publish court records statewide?
Yes. Colorado publishes a statewide court source, and it is part of a name search here, so a result can show how a case ended.
What does a disposition mean on a Colorado court record?
How the case ended: a conviction (including a guilty plea), a dismissal, an acquittal, a diversion, or nothing yet because the case is open. It is the one part of a criminal record that speaks to an outcome.
Can a Colorado court record be expunged?
Often, for some outcomes, on petition after a waiting period; the rules are Colorado's. Once an order is entered the clerk marks the file and it leaves the public record. This is a general description, not legal advice.
