The Comal County Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency of the county. It is tasked with maintaining a variety of locally relevant crime reports and records. However, the Texas Department of Public Safety serves as the state repository for criminal history information, and as such processes requests for background checks and criminal records.

To access criminal records on the System, interested persons are required to create an account on the system, purchase credits and self-serve using the available search tools.

In signing up, each new user must provide a valid email and home/office address and a preferred password. The email address provided will automatically become the assigned User ID. Subsequent to obtaining relevant login information, each user must then purchase search credits by cheque or credit card. Search credits generally cost $3 each. However, credit card purchases will attract an additional payment of $0.07 per credit, plus a transaction fee of $0.25.

To conduct a check on the system, the user must log in and ensure that the account is funded, and provide the required search parameters. Each search request requires the requestor to provide the first and last name of the subject, as well as their maiden name and birthdate (if known).

Each search request will provide the requestor with the highest-ranked results based on the information provided. Users are advised to preview each record to verify the result before opening the complete record; every full record opened will deduct a search credit from the user's account.
