Courts and Clerks
- Any criminal history record information is confidential and will be provided only to the clerk and the court with probate jurisdiction for authorized purposes.
- The JBCC and clerk of the Court in which a guardianship application is pending must notify the applicant/proposed guardian and their attorney of the criminal background check requirement.
- If you have any questions regarding the fingerprinting process, please reach out to the Texas Department of Public Safety's Fingerprinting Services Unit. Please refer to the materials previously provided to the courts by our Criminal History Specialist regarding how to get your county clerk set up to conduct the required background checks.
