Historical Documents
The Harris County District Clerk's office will be conducting system maintenance on Friday, July 3, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. During this time, this web page will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Historical Document Room was opened to the public on October 24, 2006. The room
is available for viewing historical documents from 1837—1925. These court records
are not just paper, they are valuable sources of Texas' and Houston’s history. Some
of the most badly deteriorated records have been restored and preserved by the Harris
County District Clerk's Office. Those efforts have been honored with a 2004 Good
Brick Award from the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance.
Services Available in the Historical Document Room
- Public viewing of original documents
- Requested copies for $1.00 per page
