The County Clerk is the county recorder. As County recorder, the County Clerk is responsible for:

  • processing, filing and recording most of the official county documents (i.e.) real and personal property records, liens, assumed names, abstracts, bonds, livestock marks and brands, city and county budgets, subdivision plats, military discharges, marriage licenses, birth and death certificates and wills
  • providing indexing and public access to these records,
  • issuing certified and non-certified copies of any documents recorded in this office, and
  • assessing, collecting and reporting the fees and cost

The County Clerk is also the records administrator for Commissioners Court and the County Court at Law. The clerk's office supplies support personnel for civil, criminal, probate and mental court matters. Also, as an ex-officio member of Commissioners Court, the County Clerk serves as recorder and records manager.
