About this guide

Navarro County, Texas, has about 57,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Navarro 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, cities and common questions.

The Courts That Hear Cases from Navarro County

Court cases from Navarro County are filed in the Navarro County District Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit.

The County Courts and Justice Courts take misdemeanors in the County Court or County Court at Law; traffic tickets, evictions and small claims in the Justice Courts.

A city with a municipal court of its own tries the tickets written under its ordinances.

Divorces go to the District Court, and the file stays with the District Clerk.

The District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases keep the files, and a copy of anything in a file comes from that office, under the court's own rules rather than the Texas Public Information Act.

Looking Up a Case from Navarro County

The Kinds of Court Files

The other Navarro County guides take the kinds of file one at a time: Navarro County criminal records, Navarro County traffic tickets, Navarro County DUI and Navarro County property records.
