Tribal Court Services

Isleta Tribal Court provides the services below for a fee upon submitting a Request for Records form. 

• Background request: $20.00 (must be paid by money order) 
• Copies of court documents: 50¢ per page for each copy.
• Audio recordings of Hearing(s): $25.00 per CD or USB Flash Drive 

NOTE: A Court Clerk will review the court records for the document(s) requested.  However, it takes at least five (5) days to process this request. More time may be needed for the Court to respond to any large requests.  A Clerk will contact you at the phone number listed when your request is completed.  There is a charge of .50 per page, which must be paid at the time of pick-up.  If the total is more than $5.00 it must be paid with a money order.

The Court strives to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to accommodate persons with special needs or disabilities so they can understand and fully participate in hearings.  Assistance may include providing interpreters for Tiwa and Spanish-speakers, sign interpreters, use of hearing devices and other assistance for those with speech, hearing, or vision impairments. The ADA does not require the Court to take action that fundamentally alters its programs or services, or imposes an undue financial or administrative burden.  Those requiring special assistance should notify the Court as soon as possible to make arrangements prior to a hearing.  There is no cost associated with providing these accommodations. 

The Court will either sentence a defendant to complete community service hours or allows community service work in lieu of fines, fees and payment for devices such as Soberlink, GPS and TAD.  Probation works with Isleta agencies to schedule community service activities and serve as worksites for those who need to complete community service.

Any Pueblo of Isleta department or agency, non-profit group or community organization may submit a Request for Community Service Workers form to have community service workers perform work for their department, agency or organization.  The work must be performed within the Isleta community and the requestor must submit the request form at least 20 days in advance.  The requesting agency must supervise community service workers, submit a list of workers who reported, number of hours completed and any incidents of non-compliance.  Defendants are required to comply with the following rules:
