Are Court Records Public in Maverick County?

Texas citizens have statutory access to the records of public agencies by the provision of the Public Information Act. However, the Texas Judiciary is exempted from this provision. Still, according to the Texas State Law Library Court Record Guide, most case files, court records, and docket sheets are generally considered public records, meaning they are accessible to the public. Requesters may, however, run across various constraints and restrictions while trying to access some court data. Usually, this consists of the following:

• Sealed Records: A judge may decide to seal some court documents, rendering them unavailable to the general public. Cases containing sensitive material, such as juvenile records, family records, adoption procedures, or certain unresolved criminal cases, will likely be sealed.
• Confidential Information: In certain cases, privacy concerns or other legal considerations may prevent specific information in such documents from being public. For instance, it may be necessary to redact or withhold the personally identifiable information of minors or victims of some crimes.
