Criminal Records
The Texas Department of Public Safety provides criminal records through its Criminal History Search. Sign up for an individual or company Crime Records Service (CRS) account, and purchase search credits to access these records. Each search costs $3 and allows the requester to search for a name and view one matching record. Searches that don’t return any results also use up search credits. Make payment for search credits by credit card or by check.
Search credits purchased by credit card cost an additional 2.25%, making a total of $3.07 per search credit. Every search credit purchase transaction costs an extra 25 cents. Search credits bought using a credit card will immediately be usable. There are additional fees for search credits purchased by mails. To purchase by mail, send a check for the desired amount along with the CRS account details to:
