Texas Public Records Search

By Ben Kingsley


If you are searching for Texas Public Records, you can head to the exact county where they were legally finalized. If you are unaware of the exact county where the files are kept, you can head to the State Health Department. Requests are accepted provided that they are sent with the appropriate requirements. However, if the requirements presented are incomplete, there is a big change that a request will be turned down. Any person that places a successful request will be given the basic pieces of information concerning a certain file, which includes a full name, and the date and location where an event transpired. Some details of a file are kept away from the general public because they are deemed as too personal and it is done to preserve the privacy of a person. There are only a limited number of people or groups that have the authority to obtain such details. They are the owner of the files, their lawyers, and whoever has authorization from the court.

Vital files - birth, death, marriage, and divorce - and criminal files are considered to be public files. It means that they can be retrieved anytime, upon request. A request form can be procured at the agency that is maintaining the files. The form is to be completed accordingly and sent back to the agency with the matching fees. The form can also be obtained online by downloading the printable version from an agency's official website.

The court strictly prohibits any form of misuse of the records. If an individual is accused and proven of using them in defaming, embarrassing, blackmailing, and threatening the safety of another individual, the court will hand out necessary sanctions to that person. The records are to be used only as reference and as a proof of the legality of an event.

Throughout the years, many people have realized the importance of accessing the records to their safety, security, and even for personal reasons. Employers, landlords, and even ordinary citizens began using them for doing background checks on certain people. Because the records contain useful pieces of information, people are able to determine which people to stay away from. Others used the records to look for a long lost love one or to simply trace their roots.

Certain websites that are privately owned also keep the records in their database. They have approval of the court to disseminate the records to the public as long as proper procedures are observed. There are two kinds of websites provide such records: free websites and paid websites. Regardless of which one you choose, there is no telling for sure if the information they are providing are real or not. This is why you need to perform a history check to see if they are a credible source or not.

It is widely known that Public Records contain useful pieces of information. The fact that they are available to the public should not be taken for granted. People should make use of the files but have to make sure that the information they are getting are genuine.
