Use the guide to identify the need and responsible court, corrections agency, legal provider, or community organization, then follow that organization's current public request or intake process. Include only non-public case or inmate information when an official channel requires it.
Who this service helps
Open to the public; access to a particular record, legal service, prison resource, benefit, or program depends on custody, court, agency, requester status, rules, eligibility, and capacity.
Where this service is available
Service area: Incarcerated people and those assisting them in Texas, including inmates, families, and supporters connected to Central Texas.
A service area describes where help is offered or who may be served. It is not necessarily the organization’s physical location.

About this service
