HISTORICAL NOTE

In 1986, State Comptroller of Public Accounts Bob Bullock offered the Tarrant County Archives a large set of Tarrant County’s retired bonds in recognition of the state’s 150th birthday. The bonds pertain to county projects concerning  road and bridge construction, schools, district boundary changes, parks, airports, sanitation, and utility services. There are also bonds related to the construction of buildings, such as the Tarrant County courthouse and Fort Worth Livestock Exhibit Buildings. Bob Bullock’s offer was accepted by then County Judge Mike Moncrief and Tarrant County Historical Commission Chair Duane Gage.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS

The Bob Bullock Collection contains 298 retired bond files. The bonds are identified by the date, subject, and location of the project. Some bond files include supportive documentation, such as election returns, plats, and field surveys. The bonds are dated from 1895 to 1949.
