Searching Burnet County: what to expect
Searches in Burnet County run on two layers: a few county-run sources (3 below) and Texas's statewide databases for everything else. For cases, go straight to portal-txburnet.tylertech.cloud: Texas courts search county by county, and that's Burnet County's entry point. The standout local source is burnetcountytexas.org, covering local vital-records requests. The county posts nothing for property records, so that search runs through the statewide sources on our Texas property records page.

The 4-Step Burnet County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Burnet County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Burnet County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Texas statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Texas state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Burnet County Records
MYTH"Burnet County maintains all criminal records."
FACTCriminal records for Burnet County are held by the Texas state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
MYTH"Records sealed in Burnet County are gone everywhere."
FACTSealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
MYTH"Free 'instant background' sites have Burnet County data."
FACTOnly the official Texas state repository has verified, current Burnet County data. Free sites often have stale data.
MYTH"The Burnet County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
FACTThe Burnet County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
MYTH"All county records older than 50 years are public."
FACTPartially false. Public-records rules vary by record type AND state. Court records and deeds are usually older-public; vital records remain restricted longer (often 75-125 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Burnet County?
Burnet County court cases are searchable through the Municipal Court | Marble Falls, TX - Official Website portal: https://marblefallstx.gov/161/Municipal-Court. Texas also operates a state-level case lookup through the re:SearchTX system. For federal matters, see PACER.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Texas?
In Texas, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Texas law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process runs through the sentencing court.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Texas?
Yes — in Texas, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
How do I run a Texas background check?
Texas background checks are handled by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Name-based searches are available through the official state portal (per-search fee applies). Fingerprint-based checks — required for licensing, foster care, and many employers — must be submitted through an approved vendor.
