Coryell County Clerk: Recording of Military Discharges

The Coryell County Clerk publishes no discharge page, so the statute governs: Local Government Code 192.002 has the Clerk record a DD-214 without a fee, and Government Code 552.140 keeps it confidential and limits who can get copies.

Also called: DD-214, DD214, discharge, county clerk, recording, 192.002, 552.140, Gatesville.

For: Veteran or service member.

Where it applies

Coryell County, TXCounty

The Coryell County Clerk's site (coryellcountyclerk.com) publishes no page on military discharges. The statute is the answer: under Local Government Code 192.002 the county clerk records a discharge and "may not charge a fee for the recording and keeping of a military discharge record", and under Government Code 552.140 the record is confidential and released only to the veteran and the others it lists (see the Texas entry). Bring the DD-214 to the Clerk's office in Gatesville; the original is returned after recording.
