Search Tips

View | Hide

• Search by county, date or keyword.
• Narrow search using check boxes to search only plaintiff/defendant, cause/crime, or description.
• For individual names, begin by searching surname only as keyword. To narrow results, use these tips:
  • Keyword search for Hardin Bostick will retrieve all entries with either word, such as John Bostick in Hardin County.
  • Keyword search for +Hardin +Bostick will retrieve entries with both words, such as John Bostick in Hardin County or Hardin Bostick in Williamson County.
  • Keyword search for +Hardin +Bostick –Williamson will retrieve entries with both Hardin and Bostick, but will NOT include any entries containing the word Williamson (as county or name).
  • Keyword search for Hard* will retrieve Hardin, Harding, Hardeman, Hardaway, etc.
  • Keyword search for “Hardin Bostick” will retrieve entries with that exact phrase. It will not retrieve “Hardin P. Bostick” or “Harding Bostick”.
• Please keep in mind that this is a project in progress, and new cases are added to the index on a monthly basis.
