I want to find out how a case ended up. It was an indecency with a child case in the 204th criminal district court in Dallas.

I think you generally have to go down to the court and request a copy of the docket. You can sometimes get some information online, but (at least in California) you have to get outcome information directly from the court.

There will probably be a fee, but it's public record, so you should be able to get it.
