Divorce records are a principal public record in anywhere in the US. They are enacted by law (Freedom of Information Act, 1966) to be made available to the public and every state has a government department assigned to that function. Public records can also be purchased from commercial record providers. Whether it's from government or private sources, Government Divorce Records is one of the most widely searched public records in the state.
Texas Divorce Records is placed under the Texas Department of State Health Services. Along with Marriage, Birth and Death records, divorce records are available through their Vital Statistics Unit and are sectioned under the Report of Divorce Index. They can be downloaded free of charge from the department website and are available to the public. Conditions and procedures apply. About a hundred thousand Texas Divorces since 1968 are on file but the office only issues their Letters of Verification.
A letter of verification of divorce costs $20.00. It officially states whether a divorce was granted in Texas. It would indicate the names of the separated couple, the county at which it was issued and the court case number. If a search failed to locate any records, the fees cannot be refunded nor transferred to another search as they are deemed as searching fees. The 'no record found' is useable though as a single-status verification for marriage. The divorce indexes extend from 1968 to the last day of the preceding year at the time of search.
Reports of Divorce Indexes were not filed with the State offices until 1968 so Texas Divorce Records before that would have to be obtained from the office of the District Clerk at the county where the divorce happened. Likewise, certified copies of major divorce documents such as Divorce Certificates and Divorce Decrees are only obtainable directly from the office of the specific county of origin.
Texans are a special lot. The reasons behind their search for Free Public Divorce Records are varied and flowery. There are also Texans who have resided in multiple states or county prior to Texas. As such, the complete divorce records of these folks will cut across state borders and the various state public record databases are not linked. As a result, employing government agencies for multiple-state divorce record searches becomes unfeasible. That's why private record providers are the preferred option for Texas Divorce Records Search especially when time and personal bandwidth are a constraint. Their databases typically cover all states.
The key to commercial Divorce Records Texas providers is picking the right one. There's a glut of them online and all will claim top-notch deals. Of course many would be scams but a little precaution should keep you in safe waters. Look past those without refund guarantee and 24/7 support. Shop around at secure-retailers like Clickbank, Commission Junction and the likes. Many online sites offer pointers but stick to those with good subject matter content. Also, don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
