Texas County Criminal History Search

Texas County criminal history records are managed by the court clerk and sheriff in Guymon, out in the Oklahoma Panhandle. The district court handles all felony and misdemeanor cases filed in the county. You can search Texas County criminal case dockets through OSCN for free, or use OSBI for a full statewide background check. This page explains where to find Texas County criminal history records, what fees to plan for, and which offices hold the case files and arrest data you need.

Texas County Court Clerk Records

The Texas County Court Clerk is M. Renee Ellis. The mailing address is P.O. Box 1081, Guymon, OK 73942. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The court clerk keeps files on all criminal cases, civil suits, family matters, and probate hearings. Records go back to 1907. Texas County is the second largest county in Oklahoma by land area, which means law enforcement covers a wide stretch of ground out here in the Panhandle.

Copy fees at the clerk's office follow state rules. The first page costs $1.00 and each page after that is $0.50. Under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.5, standard copies cap at 25 cents per page and certified copies at one dollar per page. You can pay with cash, money orders, or certified checks. Municipal courts in Texas County handle traffic tickets and city ordinance violations on their own, so those records stay with the city and not with the county court clerk.

Search Texas County Criminal Records Online

The Oklahoma State Courts Network lets you search Texas County criminal history court records at no cost. You can look up cases by party name, case number, or filing date. OSCN is maintained by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Case type codes include CF for felony and CM for misdemeanor. Records go back to the early 1990s for most courts in the state. You can see docket entries, hearing dates, and case outcomes on a single screen.

The OKCountyRecords portal gives access to Texas County land records with indexed data and images from June 1979, and new records get added in real time.

E-recording in Texas County is available through Simplifile, CSC, and ePN.

On Demand Court Records also covers Texas County. ODCR is a private service that pulls data from the court and updates close to real time. It has both free basic searches and paid full-access options. Some Texas County criminal history cases appear on ODCR but not OSCN. If you want a complete picture, search both systems.

State Criminal History Check for Texas County

The OSBI CHIRP portal runs statewide criminal history searches that include Texas County arrest data. A name-based search is $15.00. You need first name, last name, and date of birth. CHIRP looks three years before and after the birth date to catch records with minor data entry issues. You can add a sex offender registry check for $2.00 and a violent offender search for $2.00. A $1.00 online fee applies per transaction. Most results come back quickly, but some need OSBI staff review during business hours.

OSBI only covers Oklahoma. Federal cases and arrests from other states are not in the database. Arrests where no fingerprints were taken will not show up either. For a stronger match, submit fingerprints to OSBI at 6600 North Harvey Place, Oklahoma City, OK 73116. That costs $19.00. The Guymon Police Department handles city arrests, so if the incident happened in town, check with them as well. Call OSBI at (405) 848-6724 for questions about Texas County criminal history searches.

Texas County Sheriff Arrest Records

The Texas County Sheriff's Office keeps arrest records, booking logs, and inmate information in Guymon. Booking logs are public. You can call the jail to ask about current inmates at any time. Written requests for records should include the person's name, date of birth, and the charge or date range you need.

Arrest report copies cost $5 to $25 depending on length. Incident reports run $0.25 to $1.00 per page. The Open Records Act under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.5 sets these fee caps. The Guymon Police Department maintains separate records for arrests inside city limits, so check with them first if the arrest happened in Guymon.

Texas County Criminal History Fees

Clearing Texas County Criminal History

Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, a full expungement seals both court records and the OSBI arrest record. Section 991c covers deferred sentences where the plea gets erased after probation, but the arrest record stays with OSBI. Filing fees run $100 to $300 in Texas County. OSBI charges an additional $150. Violent felony convictions cannot be expunged under Title 57 O.S. Section 571.

Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma can help with expungement if you qualify based on income. Call (888) 534-5243 for the intake line. Given the remote location of Texas County in the Panhandle, phone and mail may be the best way to work with legal aid. The process takes several months to over a year.

Other Texas County Criminal History Resources

The Oklahoma DOC Offender Lookup is free and shows custody status, charges, and release dates for anyone under state supervision from Texas County. The Sex Offender Registry lets you search by name, address, or county.

Texas County sits in the Oklahoma Panhandle, far from the state's larger court systems. Sealed records, juvenile cases, and federal court records will not appear in state databases.
