SEARCHES: The County Clerk and Staff will not conduct searches that are not authorized by statute. The record search authorized by statute is Federal Tax Liens (Texas Property Code 14.004(d).
The Error & Omissions Insurance of the County Clerk only covers actions of the County Clerk and her staff, which are statutorily required duties. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the county, as well as the clerk individually, to refrain from performing any action (including records searches) which is not legally required.

Attorney General Opinion WW-607 (1959) Summary states: "The County Clerk has no duty to search the records under his control and guarantee the correctness thereof."
