Registration records can include identifying information, residential addresses, photographs, offense details, risk levels and verification requirements for individuals who are required to register under Texas law. DPS notes that information contained in the public registry is reported by the law enforcement agency that served as the registrant’s most recent Texas registration authority. Because registration information is submitted and updated through individual agencies, the dates shown in the registry reflect the most recent information reported to DPS. The department also cautions that it cannot guarantee records obtained through the registry relate to the particular person someone may be searching for. Searches based on names, dates of birth and other identifying information are not always conclusive. DPS states fingerprint verification is the only way to positively link an individual to a criminal record. The agency also notes that registration information generally remains available on the public website until an individual’s duty to register expires or other relief allowed under state law is granted. Mitchell’s current registry record continues to list Hearne as his place of residence and the Hearne Police Department as the agency responsible for his registration.
