Callahan County Clerk: a Discharge Copy Application, No Fee Line Posted

The office. Nicole Crocker, County Clerk; the Clerk's page gives 100 West 4th St., Suite 108, Baird, TX 79504, and the county's contact page lists the Clerk at the county building, 1257 FM 2047, Baird; phone 325-854-5815, fax 325-854-5816. Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The application. The Clerk's Forms page links the "Application for Certified Copy of Military Discharge": the name on the record, branch, dates of service, the applicant's name and relationship to the veteran, the purpose, a signature and a photocopy of the applicant's driver's license or ID card. It names no fee. The missing line. The Clerk's two recording fee schedules list official public records, assumed names and other filings but no military discharge. Local Government Code 192.002 makes the filing free, Government Code 603.003 makes a certified copy free, and Government Code 552.140 keeps a discharge recorded since September 1, 2003 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.
