Texas Public Records Search

By Ben Kingsley


Texas Public Records can be found at the state Health Department or at the specific county where the records are originally filed. The offices accept requests as long as the proper procedures are followed and the correct requirements are provided. If a requestor is not able to provide all the requirements, the offices have the right to reject their request. Once a request is accepted, the basic details of the records such as the name of the owner of a certain record and the date and place of the said event are disclosed to the requestor. However, some parts of the records are deemed as confidential are kept in private to preserve the owners' right to privacy. Usually, only the owner of the records and their legal representatives, and individuals or parties that have consent from the court are given access to the confidential pieces of information.

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 general public is given the freedom to obtain the public files when they wished to. However, there are certain limitations set by the court as to how they can be used. It is illegal to make use of the files to damage a person's reputation, bribe, make fun of, or make a threat against another person. There are corresponding penalties, which will be imposed by the court, for anyone that will violate such. The documents can only be utilized as a source of reference and to serve as proof of a certain event.

There are certain areas where obtaining the files is very useful and examples of which are when hiring job applicants, accepting tenants, or when having suspicions on another person. The information found on the files is instrumental in preserving the safety of people or when conducting a genealogical research.

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.

It is not a secret that people find several uses to Public Records. Since they are made open to the public, each individual must take full advantage of their availability. It is important, however, to keep in mind that although the records are readily available for your perusal, it is your duty to check if you are provided with the right information.
