    Texas death records are a critical resource for genealogists exploring family histories in the Lone Star State. Official statewide death registration began in 1903, though earlier records can be found in county archives, church registers, and family Bibles, dating back to the state’s Republic era in the mid-19th century.

    These records often include vital information such as names of relatives, birthplaces, and causes of death. Supplementary sources, like cemetery inscriptions, obituaries, and probate files, enrich genealogical research by filling gaps in early documentation. Texas’s unique history, from its time as an independent republic to its role in westward expansion, immigration, and economic development, adds depth to these records. They are essential for tracing ancestry and understanding the state’s diverse cultural and historical heritage.
