Searching For Texas Criminal Records

By Claire Dowell


The process of hiring the best people for the right job or position is an integral part of an organization's growth. One important cog in the employment process is to scrutinize the applicant's past deeds. In doing so, the aid of documents such as criminal or public arrest records is typically implored. Such procedures revolve around one premise - to assess the applicant's trustworthiness in order to mitigate or avert any future mishaps.

Criminal or arrest records are the best articles for background checks because it is a comprehensive compilation of a person's past encounters with Law Enforcement in a certain jurisdiction. All details about concurrent arrests, convictions, sentences and dispositions, including civil offenses of that particular individual are the usual contents of a criminal record.

The task of maintaining, distributing, and apprising arrest records in the State of Texas falls upon the Department of Public Safety, Crime Records Services. All criminal records of people arrested in the state are stored in this central repository. State laws allow arrestees in the state to obtain a copy of their own arrest records, or appoint someone on their behalf in procuring such. Aside from the person put under arrest, certain law enforcement entities, the Federal Government, and any authorized agencies are allowed access to a person's criminal history records.

The Department of Public Safety has provided several options in the procurement of Texas criminal records. The first approach is to perform a name-based search. This is done by first creating an account in the Crime Records Service Public Site, found in the website of the Department of Public Records. Simply enter the relevant arrest information in the fields provided, be it your own or of another person's. For every name or record searched, the said department will charge $3.00 on your credit card.

The fingerprint approach ensures more accurate results and can confirm the identity of the requesting party. First, you must make an appointment to the company tapped by the Department of Public Safety in providing electronic fingerprints. Such appointment can only be done online. At the same time, you must write a request that you are applying to obtain a copy of your criminal record. Have your fingerprints taken via this partner entity or obtain them via a fingerprint card duly approved by the same department. The standard payment required by the Department of Public Safety is $15.00 per request. If the services of the mentioned partner service provider are utilized, there is an additional $9.95 service charge. Lastly, mail these fulfilled requirements to the office of the Criminal History Records. The department will deal with your request within ten working days after they have received it.

The power of the World Wide Web has reached several disciplines, including public records search and procurement. The idea has been brought into fruition by concerned government-appointed public records repositories and private service providers out of the need to answer more applications in a faster and more convenient manner. Truly, this idea has become one of the most popular search activities in the Internet, because one can absolutely access and obtain their desired records within a matter of minutes, therefore saving copious amounts of time, cash and effort.
