Texas Court Records

Texas Court Records

Commissioners courts are countywide courts that have kept records of taxes, juries, county financial affairs, and police matters. These files often include records of other courts, such as county courts.

District courts have countywide jurisdiction over divorces, felonies, misdemeanors, probate appeals, and civil suits, as well as adoptions since 1931.

County courts have been established in each county and have jurisdiction over major criminal cases, civil matters, and some naturalizations. A judge oversees matters and a county clerk keeps the records.
