The County Clerk’s Office is aware of a phone scam where individuals are being told they are being sued and owe money. Our offices will NEVER call to discuss pending court cases. Our Criminal Department will call to discuss payment of fines and fees on disposed Class A and B misdemeanor cases. You may call our Civil Department at 817-884-1101 or use our “Live Chat” option on our webpage to check for a pending case.
