Online Website For Texas Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


The Lone Star State is considered the United States' second most populous place. In 2012, it was estimated that Texas has more than 26 million citizens. Its foreign residents number in millions. This is why it is easy to meet just about anybody when you are in the Lone Star State. And a lot of people find their significant other in Texas. Not all these unions or marriages, however, have a happy ending. Some couples find that they can no longer live with each other and divorce. So when you meet a new friend or possible life partner in Texas, he or she might be a divorcee. If you want to find out about your new friend's background and make sure that he or she is telling the truth, you can always perform a background check and request for access to records of divorce in Texas.

If you plan to obtain a divorce record in the state level, you need to get in touch with the Vital Statistics Unit. The office does not offer certified copies of the record, but you will get a certification that will verify whether or not a divorce took place in Texas. It will likewise contain details about the dissolution of marriage, like when and in which county it was granted. Records found in the office date back to January 1968 up to the present. You will be asked to pay a fee of $20 for every record you need.

Credit card payments are accepted, but it can only be done by making a request through the Texas.gov website. If you prefer to email your request, you can do so by paying the fee by way of money order or through personal check. You will also need to submit a completely filled up application form.

If what you really want is a certified copy, you will need to file your request with the Clerk of District Court in the county where the divorce was given. There's also a corresponding fee for every record you request, but the amount will vary from county-to-county. To be regularly updated with fee changes, go to the website of the Department of State Health Services.

There is a better and more convenient way of locating and obtaining divorce records in Texas (or in any state, for that matter). Independent online providers operate a comprehensive database that's available for access anytime and anywhere where there is Internet connection. This database returns request results in a matter of minutes, so there's no need for you to wait for days or weeks before getting what you need. And you don't have to go through a tiring application process, too. All that you have to provide are the basic details of the record you are looking for, i.e. the names of the record owners and the date and place (county) of the divorce.

Accessing marriage and divorce records in Texas is made more practical by online record providers. Unlike state and government offices, you won't have to pay each time you make a request. There's a minimal fee, but you pay it once only. And you get something in return: unlimited access to their comprehensive online database so you can search for the records you need anytime you want to! It's not only practical; it's also convenient because you can do everything without leaving your home!
