Williamson County TX Criminal Records

Williamson County splits criminal court records between two clerks

District Clerk: electronic requests, with certified copies handled differently

The District Clerk says requests for criminal records are handled electronically and provides a records-request process; copies can be transmitted by email, but certified copies cannot be emailed. Certified copies are mailed to the address on the request form or handled in person. The District Clerk Record Request Form accepts requests by email, fax, in person or mail and asks for the cause number, party name and document type.

County Clerk: misdemeanors use the County Courts at Law route

The County Clerk expressly identifies itself as clerk for Class A and B misdemeanor County Courts at Law 1-5. Its FAQ directs users to the county Judicial Records website for cause numbers and case status; the Courts Division is at 405 Martin Luther King St. in Georgetown.

The County Clerk Courts Division FAQ publishes $1 per page for paper copies and an additional $5 for certification. It also says staff are not set up to perform broad “has a case been filed on this person?” phone searches; use the Judicial Search or inspect the court file instead.

Do not send an arrest-report request to a court clerk

Court records answer what was filed and how a case was resolved. An incident report, booking sheet or arrest report is a Sheriff or police record. If the task is a local law-enforcement record rather than a court disposition, use the agency that created it. A broader Texas DPS criminal-history search is another separate repository product.
