The Galveston County Clerk of Courts is responsible for maintaining court records. Court records are documents generated during legal proceedings, such as criminal case files, bankruptcy records, and records from family or probate court. They contain information about these legal proceedings, including names of the parties involved, dates of hearings, testimony and evidence, and rulings in cases. Court records are kept in office for a period of time and then disposed of or archived. Most are considered public records, though some information may be redacted when copies are provided to the public. In some cases, court records may be sealed and require a court order to access, but many others can be accessed easily online. The current County Clerk is Dwight D. Sullivan.

Records Search

Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property


Galveston County court cases may be searched online using the Odyssey case management system. Cases may be searched using a case number, name of a plaintiff or defendant, or attorney’s name or bar ID.

Requests for copies of court records may also be directed to the Clerk’s office. These should provide the requester’s name and contact information and identifying information about the court records sought. This might include the full name of the plaintiff, defendant, and/or attorney involved, the case number, the date range when the record was filed, and the document type. Copies of court records may incur a copying and/or research fee.
