San Angelo warrant informationTexas DPS statewide criminal-history search
A Tom Green County court search is local. For qualifying statewide Texas public criminal-history information, use the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division.
The DPS public Criminal History Name Search provides access to qualifying Texas conviction and deferred-adjudication information.
Create the appropriate public Crime Records account
General public users should use the public DPS Crime Records website rather than the restricted Secure Site intended for legislatively authorized organizations.
Purchase search credits
Texas DPS currently charges $1 per search credit. Credit-card purchases carry the site’s published processing fees.
Enter accurate identifying information
First and last name are required. DPS recommends including date of birth, middle name and maiden name when available.
Review possible matches carefully
The DPS search expands results to similar-sounding names. The first or closest result is not automatically the correct person.
Use fingerprint review when positive identity matters
DPS warns that name-based searching can miss records or return records belonging to someone else. Fingerprint identification is the reliable method for positively linking a person to a criminal-history record.

Texas Public Information Act requests vs Tom Green County court records
Texas treats law-enforcement agency records and court-case records differently.
Public Information Act
Records held by agencies such as the San Angelo Police Department can fall under the Texas Public Information Act, subject to statutory confidentiality rules and exceptions.
The judiciary is excluded from the PIA
Texas excludes the judiciary from the Public Information Act. Court-case records are accessed through court clerks and the legal rules governing judicial records, not by treating the request like an ordinary police open-records request.

Tom Green County expunctions and orders of nondisclosure
A criminal case that once appeared publicly may later become restricted because of an expunction or an order of nondisclosure.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A
Texas Chapter 55A governs expunction of qualifying arrest and criminal records. Eligibility depends on factors such as the charge, disposition, timing and other statutory conditions.
Restricted public disclosure
An order of nondisclosure operates differently from an expunction. It can restrict public disclosure of qualifying criminal-history information without being identical to record destruction.
The Tom Green County District Clerk currently publishes:
- expunction contact information
- Model Order of Nondisclosure
- Order of Nondisclosure Overview
- Petition for Order of Nondisclosure form
What if a Tom Green County or Texas record belongs to someone else?
Common names and incomplete identifying information can create false matches. This is particularly important when using a name-based statewide criminal-history search.
Before relying on a result, compare:
- full legal name
- middle or maiden name
- date of birth
- cause number
- court
- offense date
- arresting agency
- final disposition
Texas DPS specifically warns that a name-based search may return a criminal record that belongs to another person. DPS recommends fingerprint-based personal review when positive identity needs to be established.

Tom Green County criminal-record search tips that save time
Start with the county portal
Use the District Clerk’s official Records Search link before paying a commercial people-search site.
Know felony vs misdemeanor
Felony usually means District Clerk. Most county-level misdemeanors mean County Clerk.
Bring the cause number
A cause number reduces mistaken matches and makes copy requests easier.
Current inmate ≠ conviction
A jail entry shows custody, not whether a person was eventually convicted.
Check the 48-hour release list
Someone may disappear from the current inmate roster shortly after release but remain on the recent-release list.
Use the arresting agency
Jail records identify the arresting agency, which helps you locate the correct police or sheriff report.
City warrant? Check Municipal Court
San Angelo Class C and city warrants may require Municipal Court rather than the county warrant list.
Use DPS for statewide context
The local court portal does not automatically represent qualifying criminal history from every Texas county.
Read the final disposition
A case that begins with a serious charge can end in dismissal, acquittal, plea, reduction or another outcome.
Using Tom Green County criminal records for employment, housing or other screening
A public court search is not automatically the same as a legally compliant consumer background report. Employment, housing, credit, insurance and other eligibility decisions can involve federal or state legal requirements.
