Consider a Shimura curve $X_{0}^{D}\left( N \right)$ over the rational numbers. We determine criteria for the twist by an Atkin–Lenher involution to have points over a local field. As a corollary we give a new proof of the theorem of Jordan and Livné on ${{\mathbf{Q}}_{p}}$ points when $p|D$ and for the first time give criteria for ${{\mathbf{Q}}_{p}}$ points when $p|N$ . We also give congruence conditions for roots modulo $p$ of Hilbert class polynomials.
