Tom Green County Criminal Records

Use the filing court to choose the clerk

In Tom Green County, Texas, district courts have felony criminal jurisdiction and the District Clerk preserves their filings. The county has the 51st, 119th, 340th and 391st District Courts. Some districts also serve other counties, so the court number alone does not establish that a file was lodged in Tom Green County. Check the county on the case caption.

The County Clerk supports county courts handling most misdemeanors, with the stated exception for public officials, and appeals from justice and municipal courts. Use the court and cause number on your papers rather than routing every request containing the word “criminal” to one office. Neither clerk’s case files constitute a complete statewide criminal-history report.

Search the case and request the needed document

Follow Records Search from the District Clerk’s official page to the Tom Green public portal. Use a known cause number, or search the person’s name and compare court, dates and available identifiers. Write down the particular order or docket entry before requesting copies. Do not use the separate attorney login unless you are entitled to it.

For a felony-file question, the District Clerk lists the Felony Department at 325-659-6582. Give the case number, defendant, approximate year and requested document, with your contact details and the certification/format required. The office can clarify availability when the portal does not expose the filing; a search-result screen is not itself a certified judgment.

For a County Clerk criminal file, contact [email protected] or 325-659-6555. Its published mailing address is Tom Green County Clerk’s Office, Attn: Criminal Department, 124 West Beauregard, San Angelo, TX 76903. Ask about the specific copy and lawful access requirements. Do not confuse that address with the courthouse’s general 112 West Beauregard address.

Budget from the appropriate clerk’s fee schedule

The District Clerk’s 2026 schedule explicitly lists civil or criminal records searches at $5 each. Paper copies are $1 per page. Digital/electronic copies are $0.10 per page with a $1 minimum per document; clerk certification adds $5 per copy, and exemplification adds $5. These are District Clerk service charges, not a County Clerk price list.

For example, one ten-page electronic document reaches the $1 minimum and one added certification makes $6 in listed copy/certification charges. A ten-page paper copy with that certification makes $15. A separate paid search or other applicable costs can change the total. Specify the actual format and ask for the completed quote rather than sending a rounded amount.

The reviewed clerk pages do not promise a universal criminal-copy turnaround or publish one shared delivery policy. Confirm how the chosen office will accept payment and deliver that document before submitting the order. If a recipient needs certification, settle that requirement first; adding it after an ordinary copy arrives can mean another request.

If the citation names a justice or municipal court, follow it

Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 identifies traffic and other fine-only Class C misdemeanor cases among its duties. That establishes a separate court route; it does not mean every county citation belongs to Precinct 3. Use the exact precinct or municipal court printed on the citation, with its citation or case number.

For a case actually in Precinct 3, the published contact is [email protected] or 325-657-9922, at 3052 N. Bryant Boulevard, San Angelo, TX 76903. Public hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Ask that court for its filed record rather than applying District Clerk search prices or County Clerk procedures.

Read the outcome, then correct any missing history

Check the person, court, county, case number and disposition together. An arrest or pending charge is not a conviction. An empty portal search can reflect an older, restricted, unentered or differently filed matter. Contact the responsible clerk about the known case before turning an online absence into a claim about a person’s whole record.

For Texas history beyond the local case, DPS directs the public to its conviction/deferred-adjudication name-search service; fingerprint personal review is a different option. Name searches may return another person or miss the intended person. Ask an employer or licensing body which product it requires rather than assuming a local docket search satisfies its screening rules.

For a missing or wrong Texas-history disposition, obtain the certified court document and follow DPS Error Resolution, which requires certified evidence. Its contact is [email protected]. Identity misuse has a separate process linked on that page. Keep a private screening-provider dispute separate as well, because correcting DPS does not automatically change a third-party report.
