Coleman County Courthouse 100 West Live Oak Coleman, Texas 76834 Sesquicentennial Resolution Local Contact Information: Coleman County Clerk's office (325) 625-2889  PUBLIC INFORMATION [OPEN RECORDS] REQUESTS
Requests
for access to or copies of county government public records should be
made in writing directly to the department that has custody of the
records. In county government, each elected official is the public
information administrator of his department. No department has control,
possession or authority over the records of any other department. A
request made to the wrong department can cause unnecessary delay. The
department that received a request for records in another department has
no duty to forward the request to the correct department. For
additional information concerning Public Information Act requests go to
the Attorney General's website at this link:
http://www.oag.state.tx.us/open/requestors.shtml. Some records may be excluded from disclosure by law. In some instances costs for copying or retrieving records may be charged.
Judicial
records are not subject to the Public Information Act. Some judicial
records may be available under Rule 12 of the Texas Judicial
Administrative Rules. Some may be open to the public and to copying
under the Texas Constitution or the common law of Texas. Some may not be
open to the public. Requests for judicial records should be made to the
clerk of the court or to the judge depending on the type of record
being sought.
