The County Clerk's office has Death Certificates from 1903 to the present. Death certificates are considered a closed record for 25 years, so only qualified applicants may obtain certified copies of them during that time. Death certificates are available only for Washington County.  Anyone needing a death certificate for someone who passed away in another county must contact that County directly.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office at (979) 277-6200.
