- Kennedy Central Appraisal District (collincad.org) — an independent agency, not a county office. They set market values; the Tax Assessor collects based on those values.
- E-filing: Texas courts use eFileTexas.gov for all electronic filings. The District Clerk is the custodian of all filed documents for Kennedy County's district courts.
- Marriage licenses: County Clerk's Office — separate from the District Clerk.
