Divorce records
Divorce cases are district court records kept by the Guadalupe County District Clerk. You can usually find a divorce case by name in the county's case search.
- Certified copy of a divorce decree: order electronically through Clerk eCertify (linked from the District Clerk's page), request it through eFileTexas, or ask at the District Clerk's office. The fee is $1 per page plus $5 for the certification.
- Proof that a divorce happened: the Texas Department of State Health Services issues divorce verification letters for divorces since 1968. A verification letter isn't a copy of the decree; only the district clerk can certify the decree itself.

Probate and guardianship records
Wills, estates and guardianships are filed with the Guadalupe County Clerk (830-303-8861). Search them in the county's case search using the probate option. The County Court at Law's probate and guardianship page has the court's forms, including the annual report of the person and the bill of rights for wards. Guardianship case files about a ward's health are often confidential. See our Seguin guardianship lawyer page.

Warrants
Guadalupe County doesn't offer a public online warrant search. To check for an existing case, search your name in the county's case search. For a traffic or Class C ticket, contact the Justice of the Peace court that issued it (JP courts) or the Seguin Municipal Court. If you think you have a warrant, talk to a lawyer before you go in.
Property, deeds and appraisals
- Guadalupe Appraisal District property search: look up owners, appraised values and property IDs by name, address or account number. Useful when dividing a house or land in a divorce. Office: 3000 N. Austin St., Seguin, 830-303-3313.
- County Clerk official public records search: deeds, deeds of trust, liens and other recorded documents. Phone 830-303-8859.
