Answer:
Now days each government agency is making more of their public records available online. Each agency may have their own website that can allow users search different topics ranging from sex offenders, property records, business licenses and court dockets. Every agency has a different policy on what type of public records are available online.
You can also go to your local city hall or courthouse and asks for the records.
