I received an email from Denton County Clerk several months ago, which I did share with David Bloys, after she read my published article responding to Tarrant County Clerk.  She indicated how the government was pushing them to put them in form that was the most readily accessible, etc to the public and they basically are caught between a rock (whatever that saying is) - I kindly replied that no matter what the legislation has passed that they never said to put the public at risk and that was the individual choice of the county clerks - it did not say put it online.

I am one citizen who had my public information published as was a judge in Dallas county when I pulled information for David to bring to Austin that displayed her drivers license number on an old judgment, i found her social, her kids names and their birth dates, etc. because of a divorce online along with her education bio on the judge's site - you could have every piece of information of her life to cause harm - so sad.

Texas records are down and this is going to be interesting because few abstracting businesses are still around.  Glad I kept mine opened-the workload is going to be phenomenal-but the turnaround time I couldn't imagine what is going to happen.  The stacks of work that are on people's desk will be faxed out I guess Monday morning I guess when they find out they can't access the sites - hopefully they know which businesses are still opened.
