+*'''Genealogy:''' 'Though the Catholic Church has been active in Texas since the 1500s, we have no sacramental records before 1840. While the Archdiocese of Galveston originally included all of Texas, our records cover only the present Archdiocese, as well as some parishes now in the Dioceses of Beaumont, Tyler, and Victoria. These records are open to researchers up to 1920. After 1920, the records are closed except to the person(s) named in the record, and proof of identity must be provided before we will issue a certificate. We do not provide sacramental certificates to genealogists, but we will provide copies of the records (if possible) or transcripts. There is no charge for the research. Requests for records may be submitted by phone, letter, email, or fax. We do not currently have facilities for researchers on site. '
 The Archdiocese includes the counties of: [[Austin County, Texas Genealogy|Austin]], [[Brazoria County, Texas Genealogy|Brazoria]], [[Fort Bend County, Texas Genealogy|Fort Bend]], [[Galveston County, Texas Genealogy|Galveston]], [[Grimes County, Texas Genealogy|Grimes]], [[Harris County, Texas Genealogy|Harris]], [[Montgomery County, Texas Genealogy|Montgomery]], [[San Jacinto County, Texas Genealogy|San Jacinto]], [[Walker County, Texas Genealogy|Walker]] and [[Waller County, Texas Genealogy|Waller]]<ref name="rome" />
