Dallas County Clerk White Pages Records

The Dallas County Clerk keeps a large set of public records that feed into white pages data. Real property records go back to the 19th century. These include deeds, mortgages, and liens. Each one lists names and addresses. The clerk also handles marriage licenses, assumed name filings, and birth and death records. Probate court records are on file here too.

You can search Dallas County clerk records through the Official Public Records Search portal. It has both quick and advanced search modes. You can look up grantor and grantee names, pick a document type, and set a date range. The basic search is free. More detailed access may need a subscription. Since July 2023, you need a photo ID for property conveyance documents. That rule came from changes in how the county handles fraud prevention on real property transfers.

Note: Certified copies cost $7.00 and plain copies cost $2.00 at the Dallas County Clerk office.

Dallas County White Pages Property Search

Property records are one of the best white pages sources in Dallas County. The Dallas Central Appraisal District tracks over 800,000 real property accounts and about 60,000 business accounts. Each account ties a name to an address. You can search by owner name, street address, or account number. The DCAD site also has GIS maps and historical data on assessed values.

The Dallas County Tax Assessor is another good source. It covers property tax records across roughly 60 taxing jurisdictions in the county. Tax rolls list who owns what and where. The tax office also handles vehicle registration and voter registrar functions. Under Local Government Code 192.001, the county clerk must record and index all documents that affect real property. That means every deed, lien, and mortgage is on file and searchable by name.

When you search the Dallas County white pages for a property owner, you can cross-check across these systems. The appraisal district shows current ownership and the mailing address on file for tax notices. The clerk's records show the chain of title. Between the two, you can trace a person's connection to real property in Dallas County going back decades.

Dallas County Assumed Name Filings

Assumed name records are useful for white pages searches. When someone starts a business under a name that is not their legal name, they must file an assumed name certificate with the county clerk. In Dallas County, this costs $13.00 for the business and first owner, plus $0.50 for each additional owner. These filings are valid for 10 years. Under Business and Commerce Code Chapter 71, the filing links a person's real name to their business name and address.

This matters for white pages lookups. If you know a business name but not the owner, the assumed name filing tells you who runs it. The Dallas County Clerk keeps all these records at the Records Building on Main Street. You can search them online too. A DBA filing shows the person's legal name, their address, and the business name they use. It is a public record that anyone can look up.
