The availability of Texas court records online remains in it's infant stage of development. Counties containing the largest cities frequently provide internet access to public records. Many smaller and/or rural counties do not maintain websites and court records, real estate records, deeds, liens and conveyances must be obtained either in person at the County Clerk's Office or by mail. In all counties, certification of records requires the payment of an additional fee, yet may be required as a condition of admissibility in Texas Bankruptcy Courts. Alternatively, records may be offered as evidence in Texas Bankruptcy Courts by stipulation upon the agreement of all parties in interest.
