Bee County Clerk: No Discharge Line Posted - LGC 192.002 Carries the Free Filing

The office. Michele Bridge, County Clerk, 105 W Corpus Christi Street, Room 108, Beeville, TX 78102; phone 361-621-1557, fax 361-492-5985; [email protected]. Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The missing line. The Clerk's pages and its Official Records Fees schedule list recording, assumed name ($24), brand and vital records fees and name no military discharge. Local Government Code 192.002 makes the filing free, Government Code 603.003 makes the certified copy free, and Government Code 552.140 keeps the record confidential, releasing it only to the veteran and the others it lists (see the Texas entry). A veteran asked to pay should cite the statutes. The assumed name note. The Recording page says, under "Effective: September 1, 2017": "Authorizes a county clerk to waive all fees for an assumed name certificate or a statement of abandonment of use of an assumed name for a registrant who is a military veteran." The page does not say whether the Bee County Clerk waives them; ask when filing (Business and Commerce Code 71.155; see the Texas entry).
