Highland Park, Texas, in Dallas County, has about 8,800 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Dallas County District Court and the County Courts and Justice Courts, and the file of each case, kept by the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases, is the public record of it. This guide says which court hears what, where to look a case up and who keeps the files.
This guide covers the courts, the records page, criminal cases, kinds of files, directory links and common questions.
