- •Nacogdoches County's website is mid-migration from co.nacogdoches.tx.us to nacogdochesco.gov as of Jul 2026; the new domain 404s on several court sub-pages/PDFs (including this JP2 page), so the court's own form/page content was verified via Wayback Machine captures of the co.nacogdoches.tx.us originals rather than the live site.
- •Judge for Precinct 2 as of 2025 is Karen Ballard (appointed effective June 1, 2025, after 17 years as the precinct's chief court clerk); some third-party directory sites still list a prior judge's name (Dorothy Tigner-Thompson) — treat that as outdated.
