Crosby County Clerk

The County Clerk's office handles property records, probate matters, marriage licenses, and county court civil cases in Crosby County. Tammy Marshall holds this position. The office is on the second floor of the courthouse at 201 W Aspen, Suite 102. You can reach them at (806) 675-2334 or by email at ccclerk@speednet.com. Fax requests go to (806) 675-2980. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Crosby County was organized in 1886, and the clerk's office has maintained records since then. Land records go back to 1886. Probate records start in 1887. The courthouse fire on October 9, 1889 destroyed some early records in the judge's, treasurer's, and county clerk's offices - so some pre-1889 civil records may have gaps.

Her office handles the 72nd District Court records, which includes civil cases over $200,000, family law matters like divorce and custody, and felony criminal cases.
