The court records page SearchSystems verified for the parish is at livclerk.org/search (page title: Services | Court Filings | Livingston Parish Clerk of Court), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
Louisiana has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Louisiana Criminal History and Your Own Copy
The statewide criminal history kept by the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification is closed to the public in Louisiana: it is released to its subject and to authorized employers and licensing agencies, and a member of the public uses the court's own case index instead.
To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request to the Bureau of Criminal Identification. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at ibc.dps.louisiana.gov.
