The district court has original jurisdiction for probate and testamentary matters, the appointment and removal of administrators and guardians, and other probate action. Marriage licenses are issued by the county judge, who keeps those records on file. Request these records from the county clerk of court. Insanity records are also maintained in the office of the county judge.
