IT'S STILL FASTER THAN MAIL
Posted on Aug 9, 2021 10:27am PDT
Our client wanted a copy of a divorce decree. Relatively simple request
and one that we are glad to assist. We proceed to the Harris County District
Clerk's website and purchase a certified copy of the Order. The clerk's
office sends an email with a password protected version. I can't get
into the clerk's system unless I'm an attorney on the case, but
I guess out of an abundance of caution the file is further protected.
We dig up our password. Then the file is blocked for some reason by our
computers because the clerk's website is identified as a problem.
Not sure why, but it was. The next step is to change the computer settings
to allow the file from the clerk's office. I have to Google this stuff
to figure out how to do it.
Once again another password required. It happened to be stored on an old
phone from about 6 or so years ago, which fortunately I still have, and
still works. So that password was retrieved, the settings were changed,
and low and behold we were able to print the Order. This whole process
took about an hour. It still is a lot faster than the mail or driving
to downtown Houston!!!!
