The County Clerk's office was created in 1857. The goal of the County Clerk's Office is to make most efficient and reliable access to our records. The County Clerk is the Local Registrar for filing and recording all birth and death certificates in the county, Trust Fund Records, Official Bond Records, Military Discharge Records and other miscellaneous records. The County Clerk is responsible for legal instruments which include real and personal property, power of attorney filings, bonds, plats, marks and brands, assume names, deputation records, issuance of bail bond checks, beer and wine hearings, safekeeping of wills, probate, and Commissioners' Court minutes. The County Clerk's office is comprised of Mental, Probate, Treasury, County Court at Law Clerks, Land, and Vitals (Birth Certificates, Death Certificates, and Marriage Licenses).
