Federal Bankruptcy Court Serving Cabot

Cabot sits in Lonoke County, which falls under the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Search Cabot Bankruptcy Records on PACER

PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) is the federal system for looking up bankruptcy case filings. Anyone can register for a PACER account at pacer.uscourts.gov. Access costs $0.10 per page, but users whose total charges stay under $30 in a quarter pay nothing for that period.

Through PACER you can search by debtor name, case number, attorney, or filing date. You can view the full docket, download filed documents, check schedules of assets and liabilities, and see discharge orders or dismissal notices. Most bankruptcy records are public once filed unless the court orders them sealed.

To find a specific Cabot case, log into PACER and select the Eastern District of Arkansas bankruptcy court. Enter the debtor's last name or the business name. The system returns a list of matching cases with filing dates and current status.

State court cases visible on the Cabot District Court page differ from federal bankruptcy filings. Always check PACER for the federal record.
