Are Court Records Public in Titus County?
Most Titus County court records are public documents under the Texas Public Information Act, which establishes a presumption that government-held information is open to the public. In practice, residents and researchers can access a wide array of court records — including civil judgments, criminal case filings, probate orders, and county court dispositions — through the offices and online portals described above.
That said, Texas law identifies several categories of records that are exempt from public disclosure or subject to restricted access:
- Juvenile court records — proceedings involving minors are closed to the general public
- Sealed and expunged records — by court order, certain case histories are removed from public view; the District Clerk's Office maintains an expunction agencies and email addresses list under SB 1667
- Active law enforcement investigation files — records that could compromise ongoing investigations
- Mental health case records — protected under state confidentiality provisions
- Domestic violence and victim information — certain identifying details are withheld to protect victims
- Social Security Numbers and financial account details — redacted from publicly accessible copies of records including divorce decrees
When requesting copies through the County Clerk's Office, copies cost $1.00 per page, with certification adding $5.00 per instrument. The County Clerk charges $10.00 per name for court record searches when only the name (not a docket number) is provided.
