The Records Management Division provides solutions and support to all departments throughout the lifecycle of their records. We work with the city departments through their appointed records liaisons & coordinators to enhance efficiency in managing records in all formats. This is done in accordance with the city records ordinance as well as state requirements for local government records as set by the Texas State Library & Archives Commission. Regular training is provided to develop awareness on roles and responsibilities and enhance understanding on contemporary and fundamental issues in records and information management.
We are located in the basement of Mulligan Building (City 2) at 218 North Campbell, just across the street from City Hall (City 1).
