How to View Texas Criminal History

How Can I See My Texas Criminal Record?

I have an arrest or conviction in Texas. Why should I clear or erase my Texas Criminal History? Is it worth is to expunge my Texas criminal record?

Answer:

Generally, there are two ways to see what potential employers will see on your criminal history background check. First, you can contact DPS and complete a Texas DPS Criminal History Request. You can obtain a Texas DPS Criminal History Report from the DPS Website.

Alternativly, and with less time and expense, if you want to see how potential employers view your history, purchase a Commercial (non-DPS) criminal history report. That way, you can see which offenses may show up.
