Get Online, Not In Line

Thank you for visiting us online. Over the last several months, we have worked hard to give you greater online accessibility to court records and case information. We have introduced additional innovative technologies making the practice of law more efficient and user-friendly for the Bench, the Bar, the Media, and the Public. In fact, Harris County is now the only county in the entire Nation utilizing some of the technologies developed here in the HCDC office. We are proud to set the standard for technological innovation in Texas, and for the entire Nation. To that end, “Our Office is now at Your Fingertips.”

Watch our site closely this month. We will be rolling out a new and updated website allowing the kind of access to case files and case information that is unparalleled in the Nation. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, suggestions, or concerns. Our mission is to serve you!
