Titus County District Clerk Passport Services

The Titus County District Clerk’s office, located within the Titus County Courthouse, is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The office observes all federal holidays and county holidays, so it’s advisable to call ahead or check the Titus County official website for any unexpected closures, especially around holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. The office is closed for lunch, typically between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, although there are usually staggered lunch breaks to ensure continuous coverage for essential services such as passport application processing. Remember, arriving close to the closing time may not guarantee service for passport applications due to processing time requirements.

At the Titus County District Clerk’s office, you can pay for passport application fees via several methods. Cash is accepted, although it’s recommended to bring the exact amount to expedite the process. Personal checks and money orders are also accepted, made payable to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ for the application fee and a separate payment for the execution fee charged by the District Clerk. Credit and debit cards are not directly accepted for the U.S. Department of State application fee at this location; however, they are accepted for the Titus County District Clerk execution fee. Given the limited payment options, it is best practice to confirm payment methods directly with the Clerk’s office before your visit to avoid any inconvenience.

While the Titus County District Clerk’s office accepts credit and debit cards for the execution fee associated with processing your passport application, you cannot use them to pay for the actual passport application fee charged by the U.S. Department of State. This must be paid via check or money order, made out to the U.S. Department of State. Therefore, it’s a good idea to bring a checkbook or obtain a money order beforehand from a local establishment like Guaranty Bank & Trust on West Arkansas Street. This will save you a trip and ensure you’re fully prepared for your appointment.

Yes, expedited passport processing is available when applying through the Titus County District Clerk, but this relates to the speed at which the U.S. Department of State handles your application after it’s been submitted. You’ll need to pay an additional fee to the Department of State for expedited processing. This does not expedite the initial acceptance process at the Titus County District Clerk. Make sure to clearly indicate your request for expedited service on your application form and include the appropriate fee in your payment to the U.S. Department of State. As of November 2024, expedited processing is taking approximately 2.5 weeks, compared to 7.2 weeks for routine processing.

While walk-ins are generally accepted at the Titus County District Clerk for passport application processing, scheduling an appointment is highly recommended, particularly during peak seasons such as spring break and summer vacation. Appointments can help minimize your wait time and ensure that a clerk is available to assist you promptly. You can call the Titus County District Clerk’s office directly at (903) 572-8551 to schedule an appointment. If you choose to walk in, be prepared to potentially wait, especially during busier times of the day, typically between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Parking around the Titus County District Clerk can be found both on-street and in nearby lots. Free, two-hour parking is available on West 1st Street directly in front of the courthouse, but these spots tend to fill up quickly, especially during peak hours between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Additional free parking can be found on Madison Avenue and Jefferson Avenue, a block to the east and west, respectively, though these are also subject to time limits. For longer appointments or if you prefer a guaranteed spot, there’s a 35-space public parking lot located on West 2nd Street, just half a block south of the courthouse. This lot charges $1 per hour, with a daily maximum of $5. During the summer months, be aware that the asphalt in these parking lots can become extremely hot, so it’s advisable to avoid touching metal surfaces after parking. Winter months occasionally bring ice, making walking to the courthouse from the surrounding streets potentially hazardous; therefore, allowing extra time for navigating slippery conditions is prudent. It is generally recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow sufficient time to find parking and walk to the District Clerk’s office.
