About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Nueces County Courthouse

The term probate court is a common term loosely referring to the probate division located within a state or county courthouse. In the state of Texas, the Probate Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Nueces County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Nueces County, Texas.

In most instances within Texas, there is at least one Probate Court courthouse location within each county. Sometimes a county may have multiple courthouses and may also have multiple probate court locations. Such is often the case in larger metropolis counties where population is dense or also in spread-out, rural counties, which may use a courthouse annex or satellite office system to accommodate nearby citizens with easier access in proximity or distance.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Nueces County probate court

Upon visiting the Nueces County Courthouse, look for signs or directions to the probate division within the main courthouse. Once you’ve located the probate division, make your way to any reception desks and ask to speak with a probate clerk or probate judge. The probate clerk at Nueces County Courthouse may or may not require appointments based upon the busyness of the probate court, so it’s a great idea to call ahead.

Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.

Many courthouses do not allow cell phones, so keep that in mind as your phone may need to be turned off upon entering the courthouse, or even left outside.
Infographic reminder to bring cash, government issued ID, death certificate and relevant last will & testament documents when visiting probate court.

My license plates were stolen. Waited for 40 mins then was told I need the window sticker. I didn't drive the truck because of the missing plates. No where on the site does it tell you you need the sticker to get replacement plates. Put the info on your site so you don't waste people's time.

Spoke to a girl at booking just now, WORST service ever. She wouldn’t let me finish my questions, she had an attitude like as if she was having a bad day. All I wanted was some answers to my questions and she couldn’t even help me a little bit. What the heck is going on with y’all. Seriously. You don’t answer your phones, you lead me In circles and some of your employees are complete butts. And this isn’t the first time. Do y’all just hire anyone from the streets? Get your stuff together...

Went well didn't have to schedule an appointment to get into court house. People were not social distancing in elevators even tried to close doors since there were already 3 people in it. After they opened it was a total of 7 people in there. Line was short for birth certificate Brenda was super helpful,polite, and friendly. For vehicle registration was super long.over all I would recommend to double mask or use the internet if you could. Not worth risking it to get covid

Motor vehicle title office employees did a great job BUT be careful when you pay with your debit or CC due to skimmers or magnetic strip readers. I can verify I kept my card hidden but ended up with notifications for fraud on my CC. Be warned. I’d use cash only. Have a good day.

Came here yesterday to renew my vehicle registration. While it's currently on skeletal staffing, the staff here are still nice and helpful. The motor vehicle registration windows may be closed, but there was a number that you could call to be assisted and the process is still efficient.
