Hi Laura

Since you were born in Dallas and your adoption was finalized in Dallas, you can request your adoption file and also your original birth certificate through the Court. Dallas is the only County that will do this in the State of TX. All other Counties in TX, you are required to know the birthparent name on your original birth certificate before you can get a copy of it, that does not include the adoption file. Info is below:

Court phone number: 214 698-4330
Court fax number:
Court address:
304th District Court
Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Bldg.
2600 Lone Star Drive, 3rd floor
Dallas, Texas 75212

Hon. John Sholden, Presiding

HENRY WADE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER,
RECORDS DEPT.
2600 LONE STAR DR. MAIL BOX 1
DALLAS TX 75212

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REQUEST BOTH THE ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND THE ADOPTION RECORD AS THERE COULD BE INFO ON ONE THAT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE OTHER.

Let us know how it goes!!
