The Texas Department of Safety (DPS) has
established this
Web site as 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

required by DPS
for law
enforcement
purposes not be
open record.DPS
