The Bexar County Clerk's Office is excited to offer a new Foreclosure Training Class designed to help participants better understand the foreclosure process and strengthen their research skills.

Whether you are new to foreclosure research or looking to enhance your skills, this class is a great opportunity to learn more and become more familiar with the resources available.

We were delighted to welcome the children of our Bexar County Clerk's Office employees for a special field trip! The children had the opportunity to learn more about the important work their parents do each day and discover how our office serves the community.

Throughout the day, they toured our various offices, met members of our team, and learned about the different responsibilities and daily tasks that keep our office running. It was a wonderful opportunity to give our youngest visitors a behind the scenes look at where their parents spend their days and to help them see just how much their families contribute to the community!
