Denton County Clerk: Thank A Veteran Card and Free DD-214 Recording

Thank A Veteran. The Denton County Clerk issues a free Thank A Veteran ID card to a veteran who brings a DD-214, and keeps a directory of Denton County businesses that give veterans a discount; each business sets its own discount and displays the programme's decal. Get the card at the County Clerk's office in the Denton County Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney Street, Suite 1103, Denton 76209. Questions: 940-349-2012 or [email protected]. DD-214. While there, the veteran can record the DD-214 free; the record is not viewable by the public, and the Clerk gives certified copies free on request. That is the State rule; see the Texas entry. Who can have copies. The Clerk's pages say free certified copies "may only be issued to the veteran or their immediate family members". Government Code 552.140 also lets a legal guardian, the personal representative of the estate, a person holding a power of attorney from one of those, another governmental body, and a funeral home helping with the burial inspect the record and get copies. A guardian, executor or funeral director turned away should cite the section.
