What information is available?
Divorce records prior to 1968 are located
in the district clerk's office in the county where the divorce was filed.
The information that is available
on the divorce record indexes includes the following:
From 1968 - 2000
Divorce Index Records (1968-2000)
File number, husband's full name,
age, wife's first and middle name, age, number of children less than 18,
marriage date, divorce date, county code, and county.
This is not the actual
certificate or license, only an index that points to the actual certificate
or license at the
County court house.
Divorce indexes are
not themselves legal documents and are prepared only as aids in locating
the records upon which they are based. If you believe that an
original divorce contains an error, you may contact the County
Clerk's office in the county where the divorce is filed.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics website lists the addresses of all
County
Clerks' offices in Texas.
