HB 4350 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the omission or redaction of certain personal information from certain real property records.

HB 4350 requires county clerks to redact specific personal information - including social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and residence addresses - from online public real property records when requested by certain officials. It applies to peace officers, federal judges, marshals, U.S. attorneys, state judges, and their family members as defined by law. County clerks must also display a clear notice on the website stating that redactions were made and that the online database isn’t the official record. The law took effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature on June 20, 2025.
