Hockley County Clerk: a Military Discharge Copy Request Form, No Readable Fee Schedule

The office. Jennifer Palermo, County Clerk, 802 Houston Street, Suite 213, Levelland, TX 79336; phone 806-894-3185. Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00; marriage licenses until 4:30 p.m. Land records are searchable through Kofile and Public Search. The form. The Clerk's "Request for Copy of Military Discharge Form" asks for the full name of the person on the record, the discharge date, gender, date and place of birth, the requestor's name, telephone and mailing address, the requestor's relationship to the person named, identifying information for the record, the number of copies, and an address if the copy is to be mailed to someone else, with the requestor's signature. It states no fee. The missing line. The page's "Recording Fees" link (a Word file) answered 404 on 2026-11-01, so no discharge fee line could be read. Local Government Code 192.002 makes the filing free, Government Code 603.003 makes the certified copy free, and Government Code 552.140 keeps a discharge recorded on or after September 1, 2003 confidential for 75 years, releasing it only to the veteran, the veteran's guardian, spouse, child or parent (or, with none living, the nearest living relative), the estate's personal representative, a person named in a power of attorney, a governmental body or the funeral home assisting with the burial (see the Texas entry). The form's relationship line is where a requestor shows which of those they are.
