FOREWORD
The Texas County Records Inventory Project, headquartered
at North Texas State University, Denton, is a county-by-county
survey of all records germane to the operation of county government
located in county courthouses and other storage facilities.
The Project is conducted in cooperation with Texas
colleges and universities, county officials, and the Texas State
Library. In addition, inventories are being taken by historical
groups, civic organizations, and other interested citizens.
This Project is of value for research and records preservation
and management. The published inventories are of immediate
benefit to researchers. Documentation as to types, nature,
and quantity of records enables researchers to locate material
hitherto unknown and unused in the archives of county courthouses.
At the same time inventories provide information concerning
valuable historical records for the Regional Historical
Resource Depository (RHRD) program mandated by the Texas Legislature
in 1971. The data also provides a basis for informed
decisions concerning records management for county officials.
Records retention and disposal schedules will be of great benefit
to local governmental officials in exerting control over
the overwhelming amount of records multiplying daily in courthouses
across the State. The Texas County Records Inventory
Project provides an invaluable service to the citizens of the
State of Texas.
