Why We Built This Site
Public access begins with identifying the custodian. The Mitchell County District Clerk keeps district case records, while the County Clerk holds county-level files and other records assigned to that office. Justice and municipal courts retain their own dockets. re:SearchTX adds a statewide search layer where participating court data is available, but it does not replace the originating clerk. Judicial case access follows common law, statutes, and court rules; Texas courts are not ordinary Texas Public Information Act agencies. The goal here is to explain those boundaries and direct each request to its authoritative source.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Texas court, clerk of court, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or setting listed on this site is current right now
Only the clerk of court or the trial court that heard the case can issue an official or certified copy of a docket sheet or court record. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
