Texas Public Records Search

By Ben Kingsley


The State Health Department is the central repository of Texas Public Records. The records can also be retrieved from the county offices because that is where they were made official. Any individual can submit a request for the records but must be able to provide the requirements specified by the concerned government office. The government is strict when it comes to requirements, if one requirement is lacking, the request will still not be accepted. An individual who requests for the records will be provided with the basic, but important, details such as the full name of an individual and when and where an event happened. Other parts of the documents are not given to just anybody because they are deemed as confidential. They can only be accessed by the owners of the records, their respective attorneys, and other parties that have the consent of the court to do so.

Records of birth, death, marriage, and divorce are considered as vital records and they are also part of the public domain. Criminal records are also open to the public. Anyone who wishes to obtain them should approach the appropriate office, submit a formal request, and pay the corresponding fees. Request forms are available at the appropriate office or it can be downloaded from their 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.

There are various instances where retrieving the records can be of great use. Hiring employees, accepting tenants, or checking the background of a certain individuals - these are instances where the information that you get from the records can help in formulating a safe and wise decision. Some people make use of the records to track their long lost family member or to find out about their bloodlines.

The records can also be obtained online through various service providers. They are permitted by the government so people can have more options to choose from when looking for certain records. Service providers are either for free or have corresponding fees. Keep in mind that not all the information that you can find on the Internet are reliable. There are people with bad intentions that pretend to be service providers to take advantage of others. Be sure to check the background of the service provider you are considering of using and find out about its service record. It is also important to check if the information that they provide are reliable or not.
