Criminal Records
The Webb County Sheriff's Office serves as the major law enforcement agency for the county. In compliance with the Texas Public Information Act, it maintains a public-access database of arrest warrants and records. Interested parties may obtain these records by requesting them in person or via mail from the County Sheriffs office at:
902 Victoria Street,
Laredo, TX 78040
Phone: (956) 523-4500
In addition, the Texas Department of Public Safety offers a broader service. It attends to state-level requests for background checks and criminal history records. This typically requires the fingerprints of the respondent sent either electronically or via mail to the DPS.
Alternatively, county residents may request the required record from the police department of the city concerned. This would require preparing a written request accompanied by relevant information regarding the registrant(s) and delivering it by mail or in-person to any of the city offices or police departments:

In addition to government agencies, county public records may also be obtained from third-party websites. These non-government platforms come with intuitive tools that allow for expansive searches. Record seekers may either opt to use these tools to search for a specific record or multiple records. Users are able to search third-party websites remotely for multiple records at a time with just the name of the record subject and their last known location, including the city, county, or state. Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this, record availability and results may vary.
