Direct answer
For Lubbock public records, search the County Clerk recorder system when you need official recorded instruments. Use party, document type, recording date or instrument details. For court, Sheriff, tax, permit or administrative records outside that index, route the request to the government body that maintains the record.

The County Clerk index ends where another Lubbock custodian begins
A recorded-document index answers a filing question. It does not determine whether a Sheriff report exists, resolve a court case, show every tax record or substitute for a permit office.
When the record family changes, the research trail should change with it. Identify the public body that created or received the material, then use that body’s search or request process under the Texas public-information framework.
Keeping those routes separate prevents a common mistake: treating absence from the recorder index as proof that no public record exists elsewhere in Lubbock County.
