Texas Free Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Access to criminal records is vital to individuals seeking employment as well as companies who are looking to fill up vacancies in their companies. The records contain pertinent information as well as the person's history including places lived in and criminal records if there are any. Criminal records are available to the public as it is considered as public property. Texas criminal records, for example are available online. The criminal records are under the Public Information Act that guarantees the access of the public to any government information. Request for information should all be made in writing as the State does not recognize phone request and will not entertain it. E-mailed requests are accepted if the person requesting the information were to send it through the "Public Information Request Page" in the site or to the OGC.Webmaster@dps.texas.gov address.

For those who want to check criminal records, they can go to the official website of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The site offers different services such as the Sex Offender Registry, Criminal History Conviction, Recovery and Identification program, Anti-Auto Theft program and Registration of Metal Recycling companies.

The Texas Public Sex Offender registry includes free search of sex offenders. The public is also allowed to download the registry. Criminal History Conviction search on the other hand is an online search query for the public for criminal records. Records are limited and depend on the particular records made available to the public. The T.R.I.P program is for commercial and farm owners to use to enter their property and equipment details to help the local enforcement agency track stolen equipment. The H.E.A.T program on the other hand deals with stolen vehicles.

For those people seeking criminal reports, they can access the Texas Conviction Database. This Database is part of the State's computerized criminal history system. The database contains criminal records from the State's counties that already have convictions and those arrests that were made in violation of the Class B misdemeanour as stated in the law. Some records are not available for public viewing and are only accessible by law enforcement agencies and other authorized agents.

To request for criminal records history, the person requesting must follow the guidelines in the CR-63 and follow the procedure for review of personal criminal history record. For those records that pertain to cases with conviction or a grant of deferred adjudication, the person requesting can gain access online. Another way to obtain public record is by requesting the Office for the information. The person requesting must submit a request form including all the pertinent details or information of the case together with the $10 fee in check or in money order. They can send their request by mail, fax and email. It must be noted that the Department is not in any legal obligation to answer the request if the request is in violation of the Public Information Act.

People who want to check only basic information can do so by accessing free criminal records in the internet. The records are available from several search engines or websites that do offer public search query.
