Marion Audio Requests

How to submit an audio recording request on the Marion County TheRecordXchange site, including field-by-field guidance and what to expect after submitting.

Written by Brandon Townsend

Overview

This article walks you through submitting an audio recording request on the Marion County TheRecordXchange site. If you need a written transcript rather than an audio recording, use the "Order Certified Transcript" button instead — these are separate request types with different workflows.

The Marion County TRX site can be accessed at: https://marioncounty-in.trxchange.net/


Starting a New Request

Once you're on the site, click the "Request Recording" button found on most pages. Make sure you're selecting Request Recording and not "Order Certified Transcript" — choosing the wrong form type will delay your request.

Note: You can start filling out a request without being signed in, but you'll need to log in or create a TRX account before the request can be submitted. If you don't have an account yet, you'll be prompted to create one at the end of the form.


Completing the Request Form

Each field on the form plays an important role in helping the court locate and process your request quickly. Here's what each one means:

Primary Case Number

Enter the case number in standard court format. Marion County case numbers follow this pattern:

  • 49D15-2009-JC-002215

  • 49D08-2101-MH-000535

  • 49D06-1904-DC-013210

If your request involves more than one case number, include the additional ones in the Comments field at the bottom of the form.

Hearing Date

Select the hearing date(s) for your request. You can add multiple dates by clicking "Add Another Date" beneath the date field. Use the arrows in the calendar to move between months and years. Use the "x" to remove a date if needed.

Optional Hearing Date Comment

Use this field to provide any additional details that may help the court locate your recording — for example, whether the hearing was held in person or virtually, the courtroom number, or the judge's name. The more specific you can be here, the faster your request can be processed.

Confidential

If you mark your request as Confidential, it will be treated with additional privacy within the TRX system. Confidential requests may require extra authorization from the court and cannot be shared with other TRX users unless the court explicitly approves it.

Relation to Case and Reason for Request

This is a required field. Provide a brief description of your relationship to the case and your reason for needing the recording. Keep it concise — this information is reviewed by the judge or court official who will authorize your request, so clarity matters more than length.

Examples: "I am the defendant's attorney of record" or "I am a party to the case and need the recording for an upcoming appeal."

Terms and Conditions

Check the box to confirm that you agree to the court's terms and conditions for receiving a copy of the requested audio recording. You can review the terms by clicking the help icon (?) next to this field.

Comments

Use this field for any other information that may help locate your hearing — additional case numbers, notes about the hearing, or anything else not captured in the fields above.


Reviewing and Submitting

After completing the form, click "View Request" to review everything before submitting. Check that all case information, hearing dates, and your reason for the request are accurate.

When you're satisfied, click "Submit Request." If you're already signed in, your request is submitted immediately. If not, you'll be prompted to log in or create a new account first.

Once submitted, you'll see a success confirmation message on the screen.


What Happens After You Submit

After your request is submitted, here's what to expect:

  • Authorization review — Most Marion County audio requests require authorization from a judge or designated court official before the recording can be released. TheRecordXchange will identify the appropriate authorizing party and notify them of your request. This step is not optional and is required by the court.

  • You'll receive email notifications — TRX will send you updates as your request moves through the process, including when it has been authorized and when the recording is available.

  • Preauthorization — In some cases, certain users or request types are preauthorized by the court and will not require an explicit authorization step. If you believe your request should be preauthorized, contact TRX Support.

To view your submitted requests at any time, log in to the site, hover over your username in the top right corner, and select "Orders" from the dropdown.

For information on the authorization process from the court's perspective, see: Marion County Audio Request Authorizations.
