Death Records Now

So I’m trying to find some family mbrs.. dad & brother… I think I have spent several days all together trying to find something… always end up coming to a website that makes you pay. I thought these records were free… I have called the Round Rock Texas death records and they say I need to come in there and proove I’m family…. I live in Minnesota so…. I’m not even sure if he passed away, I want to know! I google, yahoo… zaba, zoom, whitepages… pretty much you name it I’ve more then likely been there… Any other suggestions other then having to pay? I’m looking for a Craig A. Ladwig, last know to live in Round Rock, Tx… born 1956…. And my brother whos name is also Craig, his age is somewhere around 21 (I think), last known to have lived with his mom Michel in Chaska, MN… Anyone… any suggestions that wouldnt be obvious to me?
