Texas Public Arrest Records

By Claire Dowell


If you were arrested or indicted in the past, it's a sure bet that a record of your arrest is stored somewhere. If you have had run-ins with the law in the state of Texas, then there is a good chance that the state's Crime Records Service, or CRS, has a copy of the arrest report in its database. Overseen by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the CRS maintains all Texas arrest records for the state. Along with the Computerized Criminal History System, CCH for short, they serve as the central repository for all criminal records in the state of Texas.

The environment that we are living in these days can be rather dangerous, especially for our children and loved ones. You can never be too careful when dealing with people you do not know personally. Unsavory individuals are just waiting to take advantage when you're not looking. This is why having a tool that allows you to checkout other people's criminal background before you make deals with them is a welcome advantage, don't you agree?

In the state of Texas, citizens can access a wide array of arrest and conviction reports. You can request a complete copy of your own criminal history by way of a private and public online system. The entire process is relatively quick and easy, involving a name-based search. A three dollar fee, not including the transaction and processing fees, will be charged to the requester for every name searched. You will need to complete the appropriate request form and submit it along with your fingerprint card and the essential fees to the appropriate office.

Upon completion of the request, applicants will get a comprehensive copy of the documents they applied for, including arrest reports, dispositions, and prosecution records of all Class B misdemeanor offenses and felony cases. In contrast, access to criminal documents other than your own is permitted but limited. You will only get conviction reports and/or deferred adjudications. Only approved individuals, government agencies, and law enforcement officers are given access to complete third party criminal histories.

Small business owners and employers who want to conduct criminal background checks on potential applicants can utilize the Texas Department of Public Safety's Computerized Criminal History system. The service is specifically developed to provide aid to employment agencies when trying to obtain criminal information pertaining to job applicants and even current employees. Search results will generate accurate and up-to-date criminal histories, from arrests to conviction data, including dispositions on misdemeanor and felony offenses.

But if you are tired of having to pay for every search you perform, there is a cost-efficient alternative that will only require a one-time fee in exchange for unlimited searches. Online criminal history providers are quite dependable when it comes to providing accurate and up-to-date criminal history accounts. If you are interested in another person's records of arrest, then perhaps you should try using an online criminal record search service. Find a reputable website or provider, and start searching. It's quick and easy, relatively cheap, and far more convenient than any government service.
