- It distinguishes statewide portals from county-run systems and labels access as free, registration-required, paid, in-person, mixed, or unclear.
Field notes
The directory separates statewide indexes from systems that are run county by county, and its filters also distinguish how a portal can be accessed. That classification matters here: the page lists everything from free searches to paid records and in-person access. It warns that court systems change and tells readers to confirm current terms on the official portal.
