Are Court Records Public in Tom Green County?

Even though court records in general are public and accessible to the general population, some records may be subject to exemptions or exceptions. The following are some types of information that are considered confidential and exempted from public access.

• Confidential information made so by law, whether constitutional, statutory, or by a judicial decision or order.
• Personnel information that, if disclosed, would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy
• Records concerning settlement or litigation negotiations that involve the state or any political subdivision of the state
• Law enforcement, prosecutorial, or corrections information the release of which would interfere with the investigation or prosecution of a crime
• Information covered by confidentiality or privilege, such as the attorney-client privilege
