They do offer copies for $1.00 copying fee. I'd also put in a sase as a courtesy. You can get the Denton County Clerk's phone number at www.vitalrec.com; click state of Texas, then go to the county of your choice. Also go to David Grey's website, it's called the www.adoptionmining.com website. You have to register, but that's not a big deal. Then you get yourself a passwrord, and you will be able to see the deaths of Texas from 1903 to about 1970-something. It's great. you will be able to find folks and get the death certificate number. Remember this is the State of Texas Death Index, not for the counties, soe the death cert. numbers are for the former. Good luck, Cyrille
