We found the district clerk, Ellen Jaggers, to be friendly and easy to work with. She is knowledgeable about her records and has worked hard to preserve them. She was very helpful in guiding us to the records we were looking for. We have worked with many clerks in Texas and find her to be exceptional!

My goal is to visit every county in The State of Texas before I'm 50. I take a selfie in front of the courthouse to prove I was there. I love the architecture of this courthouse, it's beautiful. #Courthouse#30
