Public Records

The County Clerk maintains records in Montgomery County, and most official public records begin in 1936. The records stored included deeds, land patent records, judgments, tax liens, and mortgages. You can access real property records, and a fee will be charged. Records can be obtained by emailing or mailing the form found at https://www.mctx.org/departments/departments_a_-_c/county_clerk/recording_and_research.php.

Copy requests require a 24-72 hour turnaround and the volume of the copies requested. Checks need to be paid to the Montgomery County Clerk. Certified Copy is $1 per page and $5 for certification per document. A plain copy is $1 per page. Your request can be delayed if you do not calculate the fees correctly.

Birth and Death Certificates can be acquired if you show the proper identification and provide the full name of the certificate, the father and mother’s full names, your name and address, and your relationship to persons on the records.
