Courthouse Overview
The Southwest Justice Center sits at 30755-D Auld Road in Murrieta. The Superior Court lists four categories of matters served here: civil harassment, criminal, traffic, and juvenile. The criminal calendar is the reason most families end up on this page.
A precision note, since other sources describe this as a fully full-service courthouse: general civil, family law, and probate are not among the matters the court originally listed at Auld Road. Family law for the region is at the Menifee Justice Center, which opened July 8, 2024. Probate is the exception — when the Temecula Courthouse closed on December 23, 2024, the court moved its probate clerk's office, calendars, and self-help services here, with probate cases heard in department S101. If your paperwork is a divorce filing, verify the location before driving to Murrieta.
What makes this building unusual is the address itself. The county's Cois M. Byrd Detention Center is on the same Auld Road complex. For a Murrieta or Temecula arrest, the jail and the criminal courthouse are effectively neighbors — a genuine advantage over the western county, where families shuttle between separate downtown Riverside buildings.
The practical consequence is speed. A southwest county arrestee usually stays in southwest county. There is no long transfer up Interstate 215 to Robert Presley in downtown Riverside for most cases, so a bond posted at Byrd resolves the custody question in the same city where the case will be heard.

Hours Of Operation
Court hours and jail release timing are two different clocks. Southwest Justice Center runs on a weekday court calendar; the jail holding your family member runs 24 hours a day.
| Clerk's office phone hours | 7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Monday – Friday |
|---|---|
| Weekends & court holidays | Closed |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, 7 days a week |
The Riverside Superior Court publishes limited clerk phone hours of 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at its courthouse locations, excluding court holidays. Its general public line is (951) 777-3147 and the court warns of long waits.
Court hours and jail hours are different systems. The Byrd Detention Center next door processes releases around the clock; a bond accepted at 3:00 a.m. does not wait for the courthouse to open.

How To Post Bail At Southwest Justice Center
Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the Riverside County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective October 20, 2025).
Bail is posted where the defendant is being held. In southwest Riverside County that is usually the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center on this same Auld Road complex, or a municipal police facility — Murrieta PD on Town Square, Temecula's Sheriff-contract operation, or Lake Elsinore Station — in the hours immediately after arrest.
The figure comes from the county-wide Riverside Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule. Nothing about a southwest county booking changes the number; what changes is the geography, and here the geography works in your favor.
Because the jail and the courthouse share a complex, families in Murrieta and Temecula rarely need two trips. We take the application by phone, verify custody location, and post at Byrd. Statutory 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.
If bail was set high at booking, a reduction motion is heard on this courthouse's criminal calendar. Call before the hearing so we can explain how a reduced figure interacts with a bond that is already posted.
2025 Release Categories
Every bond we write is issued by a California Department of Insurance licensed bail agent under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, at the statutory 10% premium.
If A Court Date Here Is Missed
A missed appearance at Southwest Justice Center 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 →
Nearby Jails & Detention Centers
Where southwest county defendants are held before appearing on Auld Road. In this corner of the county, the answer is usually a very short distance away.
Cois M. Byrd Detention Center
30755-B Auld Rd, Murrieta, CA 92563
The county's southwest detention facility, on the same Auld Road complex as this courthouse. Most in-custody defendants on this criminal calendar are held here rather than in downtown Riverside.
Murrieta Police Department
2 Town Square, Murrieta, CA 92562
An independent municipal department. Murrieta arrests are booked here first, and a bond posted before the county transfer can end the custody question without a Byrd intake at all.
Robert Presley Detention Center
4000 Orange St, Riverside, CA 92501
The downtown Riverside county facility, roughly an hour up the 215. Relevant to southwest cases only when a separate hold or warrant pulls someone north — confirm before making the drive.
