Aransas County Arrest Records and Warrant Search
In our modern world, it is not difficult for a person to perform a background check on an individual: for the most part, a Texas criminal records search is fairly simple. It is always a good idea to be informed, especially if you are about to hire nannies, housekeepers, assistants, etc., or if you are concerned about a new boyfriend/girlfriend's criminal past. Below is information on how to find Aransas County arrest records and warrants, whatever your situation may be.
Performing an Aransas County Arrest Records search
The first step is to get in touch with the Aransas County Detention Center (the county jail). This is where inmates are held, and where you will be able to get into contact with those who know where to find such records. The number for the detention center is (361) 790-0164. On their website, you are also able to view a list of current incarcerations and additional information relevant for your inquiry.
If you are looking to search online, the TxDPS tool is a good way to go about it. You are required to register as a user, but this tool allows you to view a lot more than Aransas County arrest records; you will be able to view a person's incarceration and prosecution history throughout the entire state.
Another useful tool that covers all of the state's counties is the TDCJ's offender database. Using it, you will be able to perform a Texas inmate search and thus locate a person in TX correctional system.
