Official Howard County criminal records come from the government office that created or keeps each file. The contacts below separate sheriff and jail material from felony court records, county-level court files, statewide TxDPS criminal-history information, and police reports created within Big Spring. Howard County Criminal History is a private reference resource and cannot receive a public-record request or issue a certified document.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated resource cannot retrieve an official record, conduct a government background check, correct or remove agency data, or accept a Texas expunction filing. Those actions belong with the responsible public office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the record type to choose the proper Howard County or Texas custodian:

  • Felony case files: review the criminal court case record route and contact the 118th District Clerk
  • County-level case files: ask the Howard County Clerk whether it holds the specific Class A or B misdemeanor matter
  • State criminal history: use the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division for its name search or fingerprint-based personal review
  • Arrest, booking, and jail material: contact Howard County Sheriff or the detention center
  • Incident and police reports: request the record from the law-enforcement agency that created it, including Big Spring for city incidents
  • Texas expunction or nondisclosure: file with the court that has jurisdiction over the original case
