Texas Public Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


When an individual commits crimes and violates the law, arrest records are issued to that individual. The Department of Public Safety is the one responsible for keeping the state of Texas arrest records.

There are several reasons why the arrest records of Teas are being requested. One is to use in background check. Employers or business owners are the people who regularly do this. They check on the criminal background of the one's who work for them and those who they are planning to hire. By doing so, problems that are related to the attitude of the employees can be avoided in the future. Unfortunately, this is not very good news to people with past criminal history. More often than not, they always have difficulties landing a decent job and many have claimed that they felt judged and discriminated in their workplace. Another use of this document is for investigations done by local authorities. The information that can be found on this document is used in their investigation and there are cases where it used as evidence in court hearings.

Information about the crimes that the individual has committed is the highlight of the document. The arrest record would show the real name of the involved individual as well as the aliases used. One would also know where the person lived before his arrest. A description of body markings that can be found on the person's body are also indicated on the record. All of the crimes and offenses that the person has committed can be found on the document along with the charges and the sentence that was given to the person.

Although the arrest records are considered as public documents, access to it is only available to authorized individuals. These can the business owners, school personnel, health care providers and the person himself. Private individuals who wish to access the arrest files of other people should have special person in order to gain access to then needed file. One has to pay $15 in order to obtain a copy of an arrest record in Texas. It is important that one should fill out the request form provided by the state office in order to proceed with the request. The person who requested the document should also indicated their contact details on the request form to identity the people who accessed the document.

The arrest records of Texas are being archived at the office of the Department of public safety. The said office should be the first place to check in order to get the needed document. For those who cannot go to the office, the office will accept mail requests, but this may take longer. To cut the time, online retrieval is also possible.
