http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/local/bowie.html This site has some excellent resources for those researching in early Bowie county. There are birth and death records on microfilm from 1903-1941 that no longer exist in the Bowie County Courthouse. Some of their microfilms can be viewed via interlibrary loan or by visiting the Library in Austin. There are also searchable indexes for Republic of Texas records and Confederate pensions. Thanks, Tammy Cox
