Republican Mike Gould is seeking reelection as Collin County district clerk in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. The state’s certified ballot lists no opposing candidate.
Current service
The county’s profile of Gould describes his work on passport acceptance services, digital tools, jury communication and records processing. It also identifies service on the county Bail Bond Board and clerks’ professional committees.
These are the office’s descriptions of its work, not an independent audit demonstrating specific reductions in waiting times or errors.
Responsibilities
The district clerk’s office maintains district court filings and records and administers jury services for district, county and justice courts. Its administrative work affects people filing lawsuits, serving as jurors or obtaining court records.
The clerk manages records and related operations rather than deciding lawsuits, criminal charges or sentences. The position also does not confer authority to set the county’s overall tax rate.
Technology and funding
Gould’s county profile describes automation and artificial intelligence initiatives, but the reviewed material does not identify a new, separately costed 2026 campaign proposal or implementation timetable. This article does not claim that any technology eliminates errors or replaces judicial decision-making.
This profile draws on the certified ballot and official county webpages. Unverified endorsements and an unsupported employment chronology have been excluded.
The Prosper-Celina Journal did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
