Sex Offender Registration
About the Program
The Texas Sex Offender Registration Program (Chapter 62 of the Code of Criminal Procedures) is a sex offender registration and public notification law designed to protect the public from sex offenders. This law requires adult and juvenile sex offenders to register with the local law enforcement authority of the city they reside in or, if the offender does not reside in a city, with the local law enforcement authority of the county they reside in.
Registration involves the offender providing the local law enforcement authority with information that includes, but is not limited, the offender's name and address, a color photograph, and the offense the offender was convicted of or adjudicated for. Registered sex offenders are required to periodically report to the local law enforcement authority to verify the accuracy of the registration information and to promptly report certain changes in the information as those changes occur. A sex offender who fails to comply with any registration requirement is subject to felony prosecution.
Public information on sex offenders can be obtained through the Texas Public Sex Offender Website. If you have any questions or information about a sex offender, or wish to report a violation such as an offender not reporting an address change, please contact the Liberty Police Department at (936) 336-5666. Search the U.S. Department of Justice National Sex Offender Website here.
