Cass County Clerk’s office brought changes in 2015, more on the way

The previous year was one
of welcomed change in Cass
County, with Clerk Jamie
O’Rand spending her first in
office.
In a statement from the
clerk’s office, O’Rand says
“Customer service has been
our primary focus with technology
not far behind. The
following changes have provided
many improvements.”
O’Rand’s statement went on
to list many changes from
the clerk’s office, including:
opening all doors of the
Courthouse to the public,
revising office hours to 8:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and
remaining open to the public
during lunch.
O’Rand’s office also was
responsible for updating the
county website, and providing
electioins and E-FILE.
The updated website can be
seen by visiting

The implementation of the
E-FILE Texas system was
completed, and in full operation,
12 months ahead of
schedule. The clerk’s office
made the 2015 Region VI
Scholarship Fund available
to each Cass County High
School, and provided
Courthouse Tours, with history
information, to elementary
students.
As a courtesy, the Clerk’s
office held the Linden City
Election, Atlanta ISD Bond
Election and LKCISD
School Trustee Election, and
it was announced that Early
Voting for the 2016 election
will be held in Atlanta and
Linden. O’Rand also was
able to resolve contract
issues with Records
Preservation resulting in
approximately $50,000 in
savings, as well as receiving
46 continuing education
hours by attending Election
School, State Conferences
and seminars.
