Renaissance Tower — Local services in Dallas

I had a Surprisingly Great Experience to which i had no intention of visiting the Renaissance Tower. My mission was to file and register several personal and also family documents to be notarized & filed at the Records Building next to JFK Memorial. I was "extremely upset" finding that the building was being renovated & was instructed where the temporary office's had moved " One City Block ", after i had already parked for $5.(1hr limit) to receive depressing information.

The atmosphere here is laid back, but very busy, and they don't mind how long you stay, which I like.

You have to go to the George Allen Court Bldg if you were born in Dallas to get the long form birth certificate. My child was disappointed because it does not show time, place, parents or weight at birth nothing, just your name and a pre...
