If a formal charge leads to a conviction in a criminal court of law, it is treated as a criminal case. The Superior Court hears criminal cases of serious nature in the county, such as felonies, while the District Court handles less serious crimes.

A request to view court records may be directed to the Office of the Superior Court Clerk, who keeps both criminal court records of the Superior Court and District Court. The public may inspect criminal court records on public self-service terminals at the Superior Court Clerk's office at Davidson County Courthouse, 110 West Center Street, Lexington, NC 27292.

A number of third-party sites, such as InfoTracer, provide comprehensive information on various records, including arrest records.
