This Is Not a Government Office. Wharton County Criminal History is a private reference site. It cannot retrieve or correct a record, perform an official background check, or receive an expunction or nondisclosure filing. Only the responsible government custodian can provide those services.
Need an Official Record?
Use the office tied to the record type. Wharton County does not keep every criminal record at one counter:
- Felony case files and civil expunction petitions: Wharton County District Clerk
- Class A and B misdemeanor files: Wharton County Clerk Criminal Department
- Arrest, booking, and county jail material: Wharton County Sheriff
- State criminal history and personal review: Texas Department of Public Safety, Crime Records Division
- Incident and police reports: the sheriff, police department, constable, or state agency that created the report
- Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information: Texas DPS and the applicable local registration authority
