Which clerk handles the record

The right office depends on the court level. The County Clerk handles court records for the County Court and County Court at Law No. 1 and No. 2. The District Clerk is the official record custodian for the three District Courts in Johnson County.

District Court matters include civil, family, and criminal cases. If you need help with case handling, filings, calendars, court minutes, or older district court records, the District Clerk is the office tied to those records.

Attorney access and document limits

Johnson County offers a separate attorney access route for assigned cases. Attorneys can request access through the county’s web access form and then use the secure attorney login for eligible case documents.

That access is limited to cases assigned to the attorney. To view documents on other cases, the county directs attorneys to come into the office.

You can start with the Attorney Web Access Request when that applies to your search.

Common questions

How do I search Johnson County court records online?

Which office handles County Court and County Courts at Law records?

The County Clerk is the clerk for the County Court and County Court at Law No. 1 and No. 2. For those court records, use the County Clerk court records path or send a public information request to the Court Section. That is the better route when your case is not in District Court.

Can attorneys get access to case documents online?

What should I do if I cannot find the record I need online?

Check that you selected the correct court type in Odyssey Public Access, then confirm whether the record belongs with the County Clerk or District Clerk. If the online search still does not answer your question, contact the clerk office that handles that court level. For County Clerk court research, use ccresearch@jocotx.org.
