This page helps you find Court Records in El Paso County, Texas by using the county’s official Odyssey Public Access case search tools. It shows where to search for criminal cases and where to search for civil, family, and probate cases.
El Paso County also offers a Public Access portal for case records and related public searches. This site is independent and does not provide legal advice or guarantee search results, so use official county resources to confirm details.
El Paso County court search
Start by choosing the search that matches the type of case you need.
- Use the criminal case search for criminal court records.
- Use the civil, family, and probate case search for non-criminal court records.
- Run the search with the details you have, then review the results that match the person, business, attorney, or case number you entered.
Tip: If you are not sure which search to use, begin with the case type first. Criminal cases and civil, family, and probate cases are separated into different search pages.
Criminal case search
If you need a criminal court record, the official criminal case page lets you search with several fields instead of relying on one exact match.
- Case number
- Defendant last name
- Defendant first name
- Middle name
- Date of birth
- Citation number
- Attorney name or bar number
- Case status
- On or after date
- On or before date
You can also use Soundex options on name-based fields when available on the page. If you have a date range or a citation number, that can help narrow results on the official criminal case search page.
Civil, family, and probate search
For non-criminal court records, use the county’s civil, family, and probate search page. It supports searches by case details, party names, business names, attorney details, and date filters.
- Case number
- Party last name
- Party first name
- Middle name
- Business name
- Attorney name or bar number
- Case type
- Case category
- Case status
- On or after date
- On or before date
If you are searching by name, the page includes Soundex options for party, business, and attorney fields. That can help when spelling varies across records.
What the public portal includes
The El Paso County Odyssey Public Access Case Records portal groups several public search tools in one place. In addition to criminal and civil, family, and probate case records, the portal also lists jail records, jail bond records, warrant search, and a court data download option.
The county states that the information is offered as a public service and does not guarantee accuracy, reliability, or completeness. Treat online results as a starting point and compare the case type, names, dates, and status fields carefully before relying on a match.
Common questions
Where do I search for criminal court records in El Paso County?
Use the county’s criminal case search page at the official criminal case search. You can search by case number, defendant name, date of birth, citation number, attorney details, case status, and date range. If you have only part of a name, try the available name fields and review the matches closely.
Where do I search for civil, family, or probate records?
Use the official civil, family, and probate search. That page supports searches by case number, party name, business name, attorney details, case type, case category, case status, and date filters. Start with the most specific detail you have to reduce broad result lists.
What should I do if I do not know the case number?
You can still search by names and other fields listed on the county search pages. The criminal page allows defendant and attorney searches, and the civil page allows party, business, and attorney searches. Adding a date range or case status can help narrow the results.
Does the county guarantee the accuracy of online case search results?
No. El Paso County says the information is provided as a public service and makes no warranty about accuracy, reliability, or completeness. If a result looks incomplete or unclear, compare the available fields carefully and use the official county tools again with more specific search terms.
