Texas Sex Offenders List
Public access to information about sex offenders in the United States is the result of (1) the Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, (2) the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act and (3) Megan's Law, which require states - like Texas - to release relevant information about registered sex offenders to protect the public.
Each state differs in terms of how it administers its community notification process. The Texas sex offenders list IS accessible on-line via the following link:
Texas Department of Public Safety
Texas Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The Texas Department of Safety (DPS) established its Web site as the official Internet source for Sex Offender Registration information. The Sex Offender Registration open record information is extracted from the DPS Sex Offender Registration Database. 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 telephone number, social security number, drivers license number and any information required by DPS for law enforcement purposes not be open record."
