Our Role
The Collin County District Clerk serves as the registrar, recorder, and custodian of all pleadings, filings, and
court records for the District Courts of Collin County, as established by the Texas Constitution. Our office also
oversees jury services for every statutory District, County, and Justice of the Peace court within the county.
Elected to a four-year term, the District Clerk administers the business operations of 15 District Courts handling
Civil, Family, and Felony Criminal matters. With a team of more than 90 dedicated professionals, our office
maintains and safeguards millions of official court records; manages felony payment plans; oversees more than $10
million held in the court registry and related accounts; and administers bail bond forfeitures, tax lawsuits, and
various statutory funds.
The office produces a wide array of essential court documents including civil citations, criminal warrants,
judgments, and sentences and performs all other ministerial duties required by law. Each year, we receive over
25,500 new case filings, reflecting the rapid growth and complexity of Collin County.
Our mission is to provide efficient, accurate, and transparent service to the courts, the legal community, and the
public we proudly serve.
Electronic Filing
The Texas Supreme Court requires all Civil, Family and Probate cases to be filed electronically. This applies to all
levels of our local court system:
Justice Courts,
County Courts at Law and
District Courts. Collin County is already live and accepting filings.
