The Alhambra Courthouse stands at 150 West Commonwealth Avenue, in the Alhambra Civic Center a block off Main Street. It serves the Los Angeles Superior Court's Northeast District, and unlike the downtown buildings that split criminal, civil, and arraignment work across separate addresses, Alhambra runs both a criminal clerk's office and a civil clerk's office in the same building.
Its jurisdiction is geographic and specific: cases arising in Alhambra, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, and Temple City are heard here. For families in the western San Gabriel Valley, that makes this the courthouse that matters — the one where an arraignment on a local arrest is most likely to be calendared, and the one where the case will be fought.
The building carries the full set of agencies a case touches. The District Attorney, Public Defender, and Alternate Public Defender all maintain offices here, along with Probation, Pretrial Services, a health office, and the Sheriff's Office. Independent calendar departments handle civil matters; departments generally sit from 8:30 a.m. to noon and again from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
What the courthouse does not do is hold anyone or take bail money. Defendants appearing in custody are transported in from a city jail or a county facility, and the bond that gets someone released is posted at that facility — which is why release almost always happens before the first court date rather than at it.

Court hours and jail release timing are two different clocks. Alhambra Courthouse runs on a weekday court calendar; the jail holding your family member runs 24 hours a day.
| Courthouse building | Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. |
|---|---|
| Clerk's office | Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. |
| Typical courtroom sessions | 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. |
| General information | (626) 293-2100 |
| Saturday, Sunday & court holidays | Closed |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, every day |
Court hours and jail release timing are separate systems, and this is the single most common point of confusion we hear on the phone. The courthouse keeps weekday hours; the jails holding a San Gabriel Valley defendant accept bail bonds every hour of every day.
When bail is already set at the county schedule amount, posting does not wait for a courtroom. The bond is delivered to the facility holding the defendant — Alhambra City Jail, a neighboring city jail or station, or the county system downtown after transfer.
Release timing then depends on where they are. A city jail release in Alhambra can move in a couple of hours; once someone has been transferred to the Inmate Reception Center downtown, processing commonly runs several hours and stretches longer overnight and on weekends.
Departments recess midday. A matter not reached before noon typically waits for the 1:30 p.m. session, so plan a full half day rather than an hour when you have an appearance here.

The courthouse sits in the Alhambra Civic Center, and parking is available but paid and finite on busy calendar mornings.
There is a pay parking lot on the south side of the courthouse. It is the closest and most reliable option, and it fills first on Monday and post-holiday mornings.
Commonwealth Avenue and the surrounding Civic Center blocks have street parking with posted time limits. Alhambra enforces its restrictions, and an appearance that runs into the afternoon session will outlast most posted limits.
The Civic Center is a short distance from Main Street and Valley Boulevard, with access from the 10 and 710 corridors. Allow extra time in morning commute traffic through the western San Gabriel Valley.
All visitors pass through screening. Weapons, recording devices, and cameras are prohibited without prior authorization. Add 20–30 minutes to your arrival time for the entry line before an 8:30 a.m. calendar.
Alhambra is a full-service Northeast District courthouse running both sides of the docket, with the agencies a case touches housed in the same building.
Arraignments, pretrial conferences, motions, and case resolution for misdemeanor and felony matters arising in Alhambra, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, and Temple City. A criminal clerk's office serves these departments on site.
A civil clerk's office handles civil and small claims intake at this location, with independent calendar departments hearing civil matters under the Code of Civil Procedure and the court's local rules.
Civil departments here run as independent calendar courts, meaning a single department manages a case from filing through trial. Each department publishes its own courtroom information and direct courtroom telephone number.
The District Attorney, Public Defender, and Alternate Public Defender all maintain offices in the building, so intake and case discussion can usually be handled on the same trip as an appearance.
Probation and Pretrial Services operate on site — relevant to release conditions, supervision, and compliance — along with a health office and the Sheriff's Office handling security and custody transport.
No bail is accepted at the courthouse counter. Downtown in-custody first appearances happen at Central Arraignment (429 Bauchet St), and some East LA-area matters are filed instead at the East Los Angeles Courthouse in the Central District.
Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court bail schedule.
On a San Gabriel Valley arrest, bail is set administratively at booking under the Los Angeles County bail schedule, long before anyone appears in an Alhambra courtroom. That scheduled amount is postable immediately, which is how most defendants are home before their first court date.
The first judicial review of bail happens at arraignment in the assigned department here. The judge can leave the scheduled amount in place, raise it, reduce it, or release the defendant on their own recognizance, and either side can later move to change bail under the hearing rules cited above.
Because Alhambra hears the case from arraignment through resolution, the bond stays live across every appearance on that calendar. Missing any one of them — including a routine pretrial conference — is what puts the bond and the cosigner at risk, not just a trial date.
The bond is posted where the defendant is held: Alhambra City Jail for a local booking, a neighboring city jail or sheriff's station for arrests in Monterey Park, San Gabriel, or Temple City, or the county facilities downtown after transfer. Give us a full legal name and date of birth and we locate the booking, confirm the amount, quote the premium, and post 24 hours a day.
A missed appearance at Alhambra Courthouse can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day. There is a statutory window to bring the defendant back before forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us immediately. Failure to appear bail bonds →
