Court Venue in Moundsville & Private Dispatch vs. Marshall County Sheriff
Civil complaints exceeding $10,000, declaratory actions, and injunctions in Marshall County are heard by the 2nd Judicial Circuit at the Marshall County Courthouse (600 Seventh Street, Moundsville, WV 26041; Clerk: (304) 845-2130), while claims up to $10,000 and residential evictions proceed in Marshall County Magistrate Court.

Although the Marshall County Sheriff’s Civil Division (Moundsville, WV 26041) collects $25 under W.Va. Code § 59-1-14, sheriff deputies balance civil papers against patrol duties and prisoner transport to Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility (112 Northern Regional Correction Drive, Moundsville, WV 26041). Furthermore, when a Circuit Clerk return-receipt mailing comes back "Unclaimed" under Rule 4(d)(1)(D), default judgment cannot be entered. Assigned process servers navigate inmate civil service at Northern Regional Jail and Northern Correctional Facility in Moundsville, plus natural gas pad and pipeline camps along US-250 near Cameron across morning, evening, and Saturday windows (strictly observing the Sunday civil prohibition under W.Va.
