Extract probate and civil court records from the Harris County (TX) District Clerk public search portal (hcdistrictclerk.com).
Search by party name or filing date range. Returns case number, case style, court, filing date, case type, case status, and the matched party's role.
What you get
Each result row contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
caseNumber | Case (cause) number — unique identifier |
caseUrl | Link to the case detail page on hcdistrictclerk.com |
caseStyle | Full case title (e.g. Smith v. Jones (Civ)) |
court | Court number |
filedDate | Date the case was filed (M/D/YYYY) |
caseType | Case/offense type (e.g. NOTE, INSURANCE POLICY) |
caseStatus | Status indicator from case number (Purged, Active, Disposed) |
parties | Matched party name and role (e.g. DEFENDANT - JOHN SMITH) |
scrapedAt | ISO-8601 timestamp of extraction |
Note: Attorney details and full filing history are available on the linked case detail pages, which require a registered hcdistrictclerk.com account to access directly. This actor extracts all fields available from the public search results.

How it works
- Opens the Harris County District Clerk public search portal using a Playwright browser with a US IP.
- Activates the appropriate search tab (party name or filing date).
- Submits the search form via ASP.NET UpdatePanel async postback.
- Parses the search results table directly — extracts all available fields from the result rows.
- De-duplicates by case number (the table can return multiple rows per case when multiple parties match).
- Returns up to
maxItemsunique cases.
The search portal returns up to 100 results per query. For large result sets, narrow your search using partyRole or a tighter date range.
Coverage
- Court types: Civil and probate cases filed in Harris County District Courts.
- Historical depth: Records back to the 1970s (older cases shown as "Purged").
- Live data: Search results reflect the current state of the District Clerk's database.
Limitations
- Maximum 100 results per search query (site limit).
- Case detail pages (attorney info, full filing history) require a registered hcdistrictclerk.com account — this actor extracts the publicly available search result fields only.
- US IP required — the site blocks non-US traffic.
