Why use UniCourt to search for cases in the Western District of Texas?

Locating the court records you need for the Western District of Texas from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, also known as PACER, can be expensive, grueling, and inefficient.

PACER charges you every time you use their platform to search for federal court records, even if your case search displays “no matches found.” Furthermore, PACER does not limit the cost per case search, meaning you could be charged excessives fees for search terms that return a mountain of bad results. In contrast, UniCourt collects all of the newly filed civil cases in the W.D. Tex. daily, and lets you search through all of the case filings in our CrowdSourced Library™ for free. Additionally, UniCourt’s PACER API provides you with a real-time interface and bulk access to the entire PACER database of civil and criminal federal court data from the Western District.

PACER charges you for searching for court cases in the Texas Western District, and also charges excessive fees for downloading court documents. While PACER claims that document fees are 10 cents per page and capped at $3, PACER actually charges unlimited fees for downloading court transcripts. PACER also forces users to pay additional fees if they want to download the same document multiple times. Alternatively, if UniCourt has a document you need from the Western District in our CrowdSourced Library™, you can download it free of charge as many times as you want.

In addition to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, UniCourt gives you access to court records for all of the other U.S. District Courts in Texas, including the Southern District of Texas, the Northern District of Texas, and the Eastern District of Texas.
