Records on the Run
If you would like to avoid a trip to the courthouse or the need to pay for parking, visit our mobile unit “Records on the Run”. Click on the logo for information.
Recording Process
- Visit our Vital Statistics Department at Paul Elizondo Tower, 101 W. Nueva, Room B110 in the basement in San Antonio, Texas or check for upcoming dates & locations of the “County Clerk’s Office Straight to You”.
- Look through our Active Recording Log to ensure the availability of your brand.
- Pay the recording fee of $16 per mark & brand.
You will receive your receipt along with a copy of your recorded brand. The County Clerk’s Office will then forward your registration to the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, an association authorized to inspect livestock under 7 U.S.C. Section 217a.
Marks & Brands Renewal Period
Each person who owns livestock shall record that person’s marks & brands with the County Clerk of the County in which the animals are located.
The current marks & brands recording timeline was established in 1981. Every 10th year after 1981 each person who owns livestock (mentioned in Chapter 144 of the Texas Agricultural Code) shall have that person’s marks & brands recorded with the County Clerk.
