How to get the Harris County voter file
Request it from the office below, send us the file, and you're ready to cut turf. Running countywide or in just part of Harris County? This is the office either way.
- Where to request it
- Harris County elections officephone: 713-274-8200 (Voter Registration) | email: voters@tax.hctx.net | address: Harris County Tax Office, P.O. Box 2109, Houston, TX 77210-2109
- Cost
- Per their services page, prices are set by labor + materials with a posted price table; in practice a full countywide voter list runs in the low-hundreds-of-dollars range for ~2.5M registered voters, plus postage. Confirm current rate via email to voters@tax.hctx.net before requesting.
- How to request
- Submit a written Open Records / Public Information Act request to the Harris County Tax Office (voter rolls live with the Tax Assessor-Collector in Harris). The Voter Registration Department publishes a price sheet for maps, precinct lists, and bulk voter data; pricing 'determined based on labor and materials.' Election-history extracts are produced as a separate file.
- Turnaround
- Texas PIA standard: 'promptly' / 10 business days to acknowledge; typically 1-3 weeks for a custom bulk extract.
- Use restrictions
- Same 18.066 affidavit / no-commercial-use rule as the SOS file applies to county-issued lists.
Costs and rules change — confirm the current details with the office before you order. Once you have the file, we handle loading it, cutting turf, and getting your volunteers knocking.
