How to Search the Hundred Court Docket
Everything you need is printed on the face of the ticket: court, law, and issuing agency. The West Virginia municipal directory lists Hundred's office, clerk, and recorder, though it offers no docket portal.
- Copy the citation or case number exactly.
- Identify the court, issuing agency, and state-code or ordinance citation.
- For a Hundred ordinance, call the city office at 304-775-5131.
- For a state charge, use MCRSearch and match the displayed Wetzel case location.
- Ask the holding clerk to confirm the current hearing and copy method.
A name search can pull dozens of matches. Narrow things down with filing date, case type, court, and number. MCRSearch stops at 30 results and shows no document images, so a precise case number is your strongest route.
Hundred Municipal Directory Route
Hundred is small: 255 residents in the 2020 Census incorporated-place table. That ranked it fourth among Wetzel County's five municipalities. Size says nothing about venue, though, so a city name alone can't tell you whether a record is municipal or part of the state court system.
Venue controls. Match the court and law printed on the citation before choosing a clerk or portal result.
A result from Wetzel magistrate points to the Magistrate Court of Wetzel County. An ordinance record, though, may sit with Hundred itself. When the paperwork is vague, ask one direct question: “Which court assigned this case number?” The answer tells you where to confirm the setting, payment instructions, and original file.
The Hundred Municipal Court
The official directory lists P.O. Box 1100, Hundred, WV 26575. The phone is 304-775-5131. Sherry Hayes is the clerk and recorder. No municipal judge, court sessions, online docket, payment page, or record-request form is published. The office itself is the verified municipal starting point.
A city court charged with an ordinance has a narrower role than Magistrate Court, and it never becomes the home of state traffic and misdemeanor files. Give the office the ordinance or citation number, issuing department, offense date, and name, then ask who maintains the docket.
Skip unofficial directories for hearing days or fees. The city office must confirm those details for the actual Hundred record.
Hundred Recorder Versus Court Clerk
Don't let the title fool you. A recorder is a city official, not the keeper of every case tied to Hundred. Magistrate records sit with the Magistrate Clerk. Circuit records sit with the Circuit Clerk. Any municipal docket the city identifies stays with the city office.
| Clue | Likely route |
|---|---|
| Hundred ordinance | City office or recorder |
| West Virginia traffic code | Magistrate clerk for the printed county |
| Transfer or appeal to circuit | Circuit clerk for the case county |
The same split governs certified copies. Ask the office that owns the file instead of sending a general request to whichever local official is easiest to reach.
Hundred Court Dates and Settings
Hundred posts no official calendar. A state magistrate setting may appear in MCRSearch under “CASE EVENT SCHEDULE,” while a municipal setting takes a call to the city. Appeals and other circuit cases may show dates in WVPASS case detail, a register entry, or a filed notice.
| Date | The hearing date in the newest active event or notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed time, which may be a shared docket call. |
| Room | The hearing place; a magistrate row may say “To Be Determined.” |
| Judge | The judicial officer when the system publishes one. |
| Setting Type | Appearance, preliminary hearing, motion, trial, or other event. |
One closed event doesn't close the case. Compare each row, and call the named court whenever a reset, continuance, or conflicting date appears.
Hundred MCRSearch Number Route
MCRSearch opens with a verification step. Then it takes a first name, last name, or case number. There is no citation-number field, court dropdown, date range, or attorney field. A citation number can differ from the assigned case number. So the paper may still need a clerk call.
A result can show case location and ID. It also lists filing date, agency, charge, statute, event details, disposition fields, parties, and docket entries. Use the location field to settle the municipal-or-state question. For a Wetzel case, Magistrate Clerk Cindy D. Adams confirms records at 304-455-5171.
The case data is free. The images are not online. Ask the local clerk for the exact complaint, order, disposition, or certified case history.
Hundred Traffic Tickets
Read the law printed beside the charge. That tells you the road. A state-code motor-vehicle citation ordinarily goes to Wetzel Magistrate Court. A Hundred ordinance follows the municipal route. The issuing court and agency matter more than the city name alone.
If the paper names Wetzel Magistrate Court, search MCRSearch and call 304-455-5171 when needed. A city ordinance goes to 304-775-5131. No Hundred pay portal, fee schedule, or local deadline is posted. Don't guess at amounts or due dates.
Paying a magistrate traffic ticket can count as a plea. Follow the court's instructions if you want to contest. The Wetzel traffic record route covers the county process in more depth.
Hundred Appeals Leave the City
An appeal moves a dispute upstairs and creates a second record. In magistrate civil and criminal cases, notice generally goes to the Magistrate Clerk within 20 days of judgment. A limited late route exists for good cause. A Wetzel appeal then proceeds to the Wetzel Circuit Clerk under the applicable procedure.
Municipal ordinance appeals are murkier. No local instructions are published. Hundred and the receiving court must confirm the details. Ask for the deadline, receiving clerk, required bond or fee, and the new number. The original city number will not retrieve the later circuit record.
If Wetzel Circuit Court takes the case, search WVPASS. Keep both numbers. Save the lower court number and the circuit number together.
Where Hundred Cases End Up
Venue decides where a Hundred case lives. A city ordinance starts with the Hundred office that keeps it, while a state citation belongs to the magistrate court printed on the paper. A felony can open in magistrate court, then move to circuit once the preliminary phase ends.
Docket flow: Hundred Municipal Court › County Magistrate Court › Circuit Court of West Virginia
Two codes matter in a Wetzel felony record. MGTCC flags a transfer to Circuit Court, and MBTCC means bond transferred. Neither entry is a final outcome, so run the later circuit case through WVPASS separately.
Hundred Copy Request Fields
A good copy request names the record plainly. Give the full case or citation number. Add the court and county, the ordinance or statute, the party name, an approximate date, and the document title. Say whether you want inspection, a plain copy, or a certified copy. Add a return address and ask the cost before paying. A city ordinance file starts at P.O. Box 1100 or 304-775-5131, where staff can confirm the right office. A Wetzel magistrate file belongs to Cindy D. Adams. A transferred Wetzel circuit matter goes to the Wetzel County Circuit Clerk. WVPASS public documents run $0.25 per page plus a card fee. They stay in purchase history for 30 days and are not certified. MCRSearch offers no document download at all.
Hundred Court Record Channels
Searching online is just one channel among several. MCRSearch gives free public magistrate case information, and WVPASS gives free public circuit detail plus paid document pages. Neither one replaces the local office holding the file. A city ordinance record starts with Hundred's own office. A state magistrate document comes from the county Magistrate Clerk, and a circuit certification comes from the Circuit Clerk.
| Need | Best channel | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Magistrate case status | MCRSearch | Up to 30 results; no images |
| Municipal ordinance file | Hundred phone or mail | Custodian and fees must be confirmed |
| Circuit details | WVPASS | Public cases from July 1, 1999 |
| Certified record | Holding clerk | Portal printout is not certification |
A phone call settles venue and the current setting fast. A mailed request leaves a precise written record of what you sought. An in-person visit supports inspection, but call ahead, because Hundred posts no court hours. Use the official portal to find the case. Then get the authoritative copy from the right office.
Public Access to Hundred Court Records
Access starts with whichever office holds the case. Inspection, a specific mailed request, a phone inquiry, and the official portals are separate channels. A missing city portal does not mean a missing record; it means you must identify the municipal office by contacting it.
Key Rules:
W. Va. Code §51-4-2 provides inspection and copies of court records unless another law limits access.
W. Va. Code §29B-1-3 gives a five-business-day style response rule for reasonably specific public-record requests.
W. Va. Code §53-8-17 allows qualifying sealed proceeding data to leave public electronic systems.
Some material stays out of view. Juvenile, adoption, sealed, and confidential family matters may not appear, though family orders and indices are public while most pleadings are restricted. Ask about a file's status, but never request confidential contents by phone.
Hundred Missing-Case Checks
A missing result usually has a practical cause. The case may sit in a municipal record rather than a state case, or on a municipal docket instead of MCRSearch. It may have transferred to circuit or carry a different number. Restricted files and gaps in electronic coverage produce the same dead end.
- Case location
- The court and county that maintain the file.
- Docket entry
- One dated action in the court's chronological register.
- Disposition
- The recorded result, which must be read from the actual judgment or outcome field.
- Certified copy
- A copy formally certified by the record custodian.
Check venue, then court level, then the exact number, in that order. Working the sequence keeps a Hundred place name from sending your request to the wrong county.
Hundred Official Directory Clues
The Secretary of State municipal directory is the official source for Hundred's published office contact. It ties the municipality to Wetzel County for directory purposes. It also supplies the clerk, the recorder, the post-office box, and the phone.
That directory page is a contact aid, not a docket result. It will not settle a citation's venue, name a judge, or state a hearing date. Use it to reach the city about an ordinance question. Then trust the court and county printed on the case paper itself. Staff may point you to another office. Write down its name, mailing address, phone, and any new case number. Repeat those details back before you submit a request. That brief confirmation matters in Hundred. The same city name can sit between municipal and county channels. A wrong turn is easy.
Hundred Older Court Dockets
Check the date range when a circuit search comes up empty. WVPASS public circuit coverage begins July 1, 1999. Older circuit material may need direct clerk research. A restricted result can reflect sealing, juvenile status, or family confidentiality. A missing electronic result is a prompt to verify. It is not proof that a Hundred case never existed. For older matters, give the clerk a narrow span of years, the likely court, the names used at filing, and any known number. Ask whether the source is paper, microfilm, or another archive. Also ask whether staff needs a written search request. Hundred publishes no archival fee or municipal retention schedule. Confirm cost and timing before ordering. Municipal staff can also say whether an old ordinance register remains with Hundred. They can say whether it moved elsewhere. Note that answer, the contact date, and the exact file title before you request a copy.
