These records contain immovable property transactions such as Deeds, Exchanges, Partitions, Judgment's of Possession, Leases, Oil and Gas Leases, Royalty Deeds, Right of Ways, Bond Records, Partnerships, Assumed Names, Plats and other instruments, the effect of which is to transfer an interest or right to immovable property. 

Mortgage Records: The Mortgage Indexing is organized by name of Mortgagor (debtor). The filings are indexed in the order received for recording by the Clerk of Court. These records contain Mortgages, Judgments, Liens, and other encumbrances affecting immovable property.

Cancellations: The staff can affect cancellations on mortgage record books when the proper authority is presented. There are different types of authorities presented to the Clerk of Court depending on what type of encumbrance needs to be cancelled. All notes and authorizations are kept on record with the Clerk of Court after they are presented for cancellation. The Clerk of Court issues a Certificate of Cancellation for proof of the encumbrance that has been cancelled.
