Travis County Criminal Court Records
Choose the Travis District Clerk or County Clerk by case type, distinguish setting information from a disposition, and request the court document you need.
Send Travis court-outcome requests to the clerk holding the case
| Requested material | Correct custodian | Useful case clue |
|---|---|---|
| Felony judgment or disposition | District Clerk. | The DA says felony cause numbers typically begin D-1-DC. |
| Misdemeanor judgment or disposition | County Clerk. | Misdemeanor cause numbers typically begin C-1-CR. |
| District Attorney’s own records | DA open-records channel. | Specify the prosecutor-held document. The DA explicitly directs court judgments and dispositions to the appropriate clerk. |
District Clerk access depends on age and copy format
Free digital court records
The District Clerk portal lists criminal coverage from 2008 to the present. For an older felony file, ask the office about retrieval rather than treating the online date range as the full history of the court.
Issued physical copies
Official, certified and authenticated physical copies require a paid request to the office. Use its Court Records Request Form, mail or in-person route and identify the filing precisely.
Other office data
The separate Open Records form covers data, subscriptions, subpoenas and information other than court-file records. Choose the court-copy workflow when the object is a filed criminal document.
Define the misdemeanor search before paying for copies
The County Clerk’s search covers Travis Class A and B misdemeanors and Class C cases appealed from municipal or justice courts. It does not search every municipal or justice-court record. Supply full name, birth date and helpful identifiers.
| County Clerk service | Published terms |
|---|---|
| Misdemeanor search from 1981 onward | One name with up to three aliases is free, plus copy costs. |
| Misdemeanor search before 1981 | $10 for one name with up to three aliases, plus copies; additional aliases are $10 each. |
| Print an available online image | Free, with an unofficial-copy watermark. |
| Certified clerk copy | $5 per document for certification plus $1 per page. |
The misdemeanor-specific table lists an index from January 1981 but only some documents online. Do not apply the page’s separate civil-image dates to every criminal filing. Ask about the particular image or historical search you need.
