Grayson County Family Law Docket

Grayson County district courts added 1,148 family cases and disposed of 990 in the year ending August 31, 2025. Active family cases pending fell from 7,271 to 6,141. The year-end inventory was still more than five times the cases added. Per 1,000 residents, Grayson’s filing rate (7.6) matched Collin and Denton. The difference is the pending docket, not a higher rate of new filings.

The report’s population was 150,532, the Census July 1, 2024 estimate. The July 1, 2025 estimate was 153,613. Sherman, Denison, Pottsboro, Whitesboro, Howe, and Van Alstyne account for most filings. A Durant, Oklahoma, address does not, by itself, put a divorce in Grayson County.
