This location is only open for those filing for marriage licenses, otherwise they request that you file online. Unfortunately, many of the particular services this office conducts, must be signed with wet ink, and cannot be done online. I couldn't even get the necessary documents from the location and was told you can get them online (you cannot). I understand that there is a pandemic and that precautions are absolutely necessary to protect staff as well as everyone else. But, if it is possible to make an appointment for a marriage license, then it should be possible make and enforce appointments for other documents that cannot be directly filed online.

If I drop off my 2020 ballot at the San Marcos office how do they get it to the election office? I would also like to know how I can get a copy of the title for my home. I paid off the mortgage a few years ago and don't remember getting the title.

Vote by mail it is safe and easy. After marking your choices on your ballot, simply seal it. Sign it. Return it. No Stamp required! In regard to other question about mortgage go back to your lender.
