Certified Texas birth certificates can be obtained in Dallas County
beginning Thursday, February 1, 1996, from eight of the county's justices
of the peace offices. Currently, birth certificates in Dallas County can
only be obtained from Dallas City Hall and the county's clerk office in
downtown Dallas. Those two offices will continue to issue the records
under the new plan. Justices of the peace offices that will issue birth
certificates are in Farmers Branch, Irving, Dallas, Richardson, Garland,
Mesquite, Grand Prairie and Lancaster.
For more information, call the county clerk's office at (214)653-7478.
Hope this information is helpful to someone researching in the Dallas
area.
