Texas Criminal Records Database
Texas Crime Records Service
The Texas Department of Public Safety offers two fee-based databases for obtaining criminal information. Search the Conviction Records Database by individual full name to find summary records containing name, known aliases, date of birth, known alias dates of birth, physical characteristics, arrest record, and a unique criminal identification number. Expanding the arrest record provides some information about the charges, sentencing, arresting agency and agency receiving custody of the individual.
Scant documentation about the database appears at the site. It appears to contain felonies and misdemeanors, but no information exists about dates of coverage.
The Sex Offender Database permits searching by full name or zip code. It provides sex offender name, known aliases, physical description, photo (juvenile records appear not to provide photos), date of birth, address, and offense data, including time served and current status.
Texas Sex Offender Database
The Texas Department of Public Safety maintains this official source of sex offender registration information. Search by first and last name (partial entries okay), city and zip code or zip code to find name, aliases, date of birth, physical description, current address on file, information about the offense and more. An interesting feature of this database indicates whether the date of birth in the record is an actual one. (Red ink indicates false date of birth.) Click Map on the left-side navigation menu to find an interactive map that lets you locate sex offenders living near a particular address.
