Judy, The State of Texas began keeping death records in 1903, according to the Grayson County Clerk's office. You can request a death certificate for $9.00. If they don't have it, they will keep the $9.00 as research fee. There is a form for that purpose. The address is Bureau of Vital Statistics Texas Department of Health PO Box 12040 Austin, Texas 78711-2040. The Grayson County Clerk said that they started keeping death records in 1909, so they may also have the record. They also charge $9.00, so if you want a certified death certificate, that's the cost. The State requires a copy of ID for you, and the relationship to the deceased, and the reason you are requesting the record. I hope this helps.
