Texas Sex Offenders List

Public access to the Texas Sex Offenders List is the result of several acts passed by Congress, which require states - like Texas - to release relevant information about registered sex offenders to protect the public.

Texas Registry

Each state differs in terms of how it administers its community notification process. The Texas sex offenders registry IS accessible on-line via the following link:

Texas Department of Public Safety

Texas Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The Texas Department of Safety (DPS) established its Web site as the official Internet source for Sex Offender Registration information. The Sex Offender Registration open record information is extracted from the DPS Sex Offender Registration Database. The DPS maintains files based on registration information submitted by criminal justice agencies and represents a statewide source of information on sex offenders required by law to register. Effective September 1, 1999, the Texas Legislature mandated specific information regarding a sex offender's home telephone number, social security number, drivers license number and any information required by DPS for law enforcement purposes not be open record."

Other Registries

Although you can get registered sex offender information directly from a State Sex Offenders List like that of Texas, in fact, from almost all state government web sites, you'll probably find it easier to do a free search or a full search of several other sex offender registries.
