Colorado court information
First Court Date After a Colorado DUI
A Colorado DUI court record may identify a scheduled setting, case number, court, and filed charge. The court record is separate from any Division of Motor Vehicles record arising from the same event.
A Colorado DUI criminal-court record is separate from the DMV record. Current court documents and orders are matter-specific records.
Consultations and office visits are by appointment only.
Advisement and arraignment
An advisement explains legal rights in the criminal proceeding. The Colorado Judicial Branch publishes first-appearance advisement information; its legal glossary describes arraignment as a hearing at which the charge is explained and a plea is entered. These terms describe different functions and do not establish what will occur at every first setting.
The court, charge, scheduled setting, and current orders remain matter-specific. Labels used for court settings can vary by court and case. This page does not translate a label into instructions for an individual matter.
Setting descriptions checked against the Judicial Branch’s legal glossary and its 9th Judicial District first-appearance advisement page. Local appearance procedures are not summarized here.
Official court sources
The Colorado Judicial Branch publishes court rules and a public docket-search tool. Current court documents and orders remain the controlling matter-specific records.
The official sources below are provided for public reference, not as a procedural sequence or appearance recommendation.
Separate court and DMV institutions
The court maintains the criminal case. The Division of Motor Vehicles maintains a separate administrative driver record.
A setting shown on one record does not describe every entry, notice, or status on the other record.
