What a Texas Statewide Criminal Background Check Shows
Every Texas DPS record follows one case from arrest to final court outcome. Here is what you will see.
Subject Identifiers
You see the State ID (SID), name variations, birth dates, and physical description. A DPS photo appears when one is on file.
Arrest Details
Each arrest lists the date, arresting agency, tracking number, and offense citation. Moreover, DPS ties these records to fingerprints.
Offense Level
The report shows the degree, from Class B misdemeanor to first-degree felony. It also lists the Texas Penal Code section.
Prosecution Action
You learn whether the prosecutor accepted, reduced, or refused the charge. This step often explains a lesser conviction.
Court Disposition
Court entries show the plea, disposition date, and cause number. In addition, you see confinement, probation, fines, and costs.
Sex Offender Registry
We also search the Texas public Sex Offender Registry. That way, you catch registrant records in the same order.

Searches based on names, date of birth and other alphanumeric identifiers are not always accurate. The only way to positively link someone to a criminal record is through fingerprint identification. It is your responsibility to make sure the records you access through this site pertain to the person about whom you are seeking information. Extreme care should be exercised in using any information obtained from this Web site.

Know the Limits of Texas DPS Criminal Records
DPS data is strong, but it is not complete. Smart employers pair it with other searches.
Reporting Delays
Local courts send outcomes to DPS on their own schedule. So recent or pending cases may not show yet.
Sealed Records
Expunctions and orders of nondisclosure remove records from public view. Consequently, those cases never appear.
Name-Based Matching
DPS matches on name and date of birth. Therefore, you should confirm every record against your applicant’s identifiers.
Texas Only
DPS covers Texas cases only. For other states or federal crimes, add a nationwide or federal search.
Need deeper coverage? Add a county criminal court search, a federal criminal search, or a nationwide background check.
Texas Background Check Laws Employers Should Know
Texas lets the public see conviction and deferred adjudication records under Texas Government Code Chapter 411.
However, Texas Business and Commerce Code §20.05 limits what screening companies may report.
Specifically, it bars conviction records older than seven years for jobs paying under $75,000 a year.
Texas has no statewide ban-the-box law for private employers. Still, some cities apply their own fair-chance hiring rules.
Federal rules also apply to every Texas employer. The FTC requires written disclosure, signed consent, and adverse action notices.
Likewise, the EEOC urges an individualized assessment before you reject an applicant.

Texas Criminal Background Check FAQs
What does a Texas statewide criminal background check include?
Our Texas statewide criminal background check searches the Texas DPS Computerized Criminal History (CCH) database. It returns convictions and deferred adjudications reported by agencies across all 254 counties. Each record shows the arrest, offense level, prosecution action, and court disposition. We also check the Texas public Sex Offender Registry.
How much does a Texas criminal background check cost?
The search costs $20 plus a $3.45 Texas DPS fee, for a total of $23.45 per name. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum. Instead, you pay only for the searches you order.
How fast do I get Texas DPS criminal records?
The search runs in real time against the DPS database. As a result, most reports complete the same day, and nearly all return within 24 hours. You can track status in your secure account.
How far back does a Texas criminal records search go?
The DPS database holds records for a person’s entire adult history. However, Texas Business and Commerce Code §20.05 limits what a screening company may report. Generally, convictions older than seven years from disposition, release, or parole are not reported. That limit does not apply when the job pays $75,000 or more per year.
Does a Texas DPS search show deferred adjudication?
Yes. Texas law treats deferred adjudication records as public information. So a DPS report can show a deferred case, even after the court dismisses it. The record stays public unless a court grants an order of nondisclosure or an expunction.
Will expunged or sealed Texas records appear?
No. An expunction removes the record from the DPS database. Likewise, an order of nondisclosure blocks public release of that record. Therefore, those records do not appear in a Texas statewide criminal background check.
Should I add a Texas county criminal search?
Often, yes. DPS relies on local agencies and courts to report arrests and outcomes. Consequently, recent or pending cases may not appear yet. A county court search fills that gap for the counties where the person lived or worked.
Can Texas employers ask about criminal history on a job application?
Texas has no statewide ban-the-box law for private employers. Even so, some cities set fair-chance rules, and federal law still applies. You must follow the FCRA disclosure, authorization, and adverse action steps. Review our Texas background screening laws guide before you make a decision.
