Separate felony, misdemeanor and recorded-document offices

The District Clerk holds Bexar criminal felony court records. For the actual filing or judgment, contact Criminal Filing at 210-335-2591 in the Paul Elizondo Tower, 101 W. Nueva Street, San Antonio, TX 78205. Identify the particular case and document so the office can locate what you need.

For a misdemeanor, use the County Clerk’s Misdemeanor Court Records Search route and ask that clerk about the required case copy. Its Official Records Search serves land, marriage and other recorded documents; it is not the criminal-case index. Select the court on the case rather than assuming all county records are in one database.

Order a copy with the proper charge and format

Criminal Operations lists plain and certified felony copies at $1 per page. Requests may be made in person, by fax or by mail, but copies are made only after payment. Mailed payment is by cashier’s check or money order. Ask the criminal section to confirm the document’s page count and submission details before mailing.

Give the defendant’s name, cause number, court, filing date or approximate year, and the exact order or judgment. Specify certification and the delivery format accepted by your recipient. A portal printout may help identify a filing but is not a clerk-certified copy. No fixed criminal-copy turnaround is promised on these service pages; obtain an estimate for the particular file.

Check whether the question is really about arrest or a city citation

Bexar’s Central Magistrate Search is described as a search for people arrested within the preceding 24 hours. That time-limited arrest product does not establish a final conviction, and a person’s absence from it does not establish a clean history. Follow the resulting court reference to the prosecution and final order.

If the paperwork names San Antonio Municipal Court, follow that court instead of assuming a Bexar district or county case. The city FAQ says citation/court-record copies can be requested in person with valid ID at Case Filing & Records, Room 131. It cautions that a new ticket may take ten days from the violation date to appear in its system.

For broader history, choose the Texas DPS product deliberately

Texas DPS directs public inquiries to its Criminal History Conviction Name Search for conviction and deferred-adjudication information. This is statewide repository information supplied by Texas agencies, not a nationwide search or a copy of every local court filing. A name-based search can match another person or miss the intended person; fingerprint review is more reliable for identity. The public online service has its own price; the $10 offline name-check fee in the FAQ must not be substituted for online pricing.

For your own fingerprint-based Texas review, DPS’s CR-63 instructions give service code 11FT12 and a $15 record fee plus $10 fingerprinting service fee. Schedule through the linked FAST/IdentoGO route or 888-467-2080, bring valid photo ID and retain the enrollment receipt. This product’s purpose differs from an employer’s prescribed agency-code submission.

Verify outcomes and direct errors to the right record holder

For an incorrect or missing Texas-history entry, DPS’s Error Resolution Unit requires certified supporting documents; its contact is [email protected]. If the wrong person used your identity, use the separate misuse-of-identity process linked there. DPS cannot force a private history website to update its own database, so a private-report error also needs a dispute with that provider.

For a wrong court copy or absent disposition, return to the clerk holding the case with the exact discrepancy. Ask about the lawful route for restricted records; portal access does not remove confidentiality limits. Keep the search date, court and scope with your findings, and distinguish pending charges, dismissals and convictions before describing someone’s record.
