College Station Police Department Registration

The College Station Police Department sex offender information page covers registration requirements for city residents. CSPD handles all registrations for people living within College Station city limits. Registration appointments are done in person at police headquarters during business hours. The department collects required personal information, photographs each registrant, and submits all records to the Texas DPS statewide system.

College Station's large university population means the department handles registration cases tied to the student and transient community in ways that differ from many other Texas cities. CSPD coordinates with Texas A&M University Police on matters involving the campus community. University police and city police operate as separate entities, but they share information on cases where registration is relevant to campus safety.

The College Station Police Department works with the Brazos County Sheriff on cases where offenders move between the city and unincorporated parts of the county. City residents register with CSPD; those in unincorporated Brazos County register with the Sheriff.

Texas Chapter 62 Registration Requirements

Sex offender registration in Texas is governed by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law applies statewide to anyone with a qualifying sex offense conviction in Texas or another state. It defines who must register, what information they must provide, how often they must verify their registration, and the penalties for failure to comply.

Registrants must provide full legal name, aliases, current address, phone number, date of birth, physical description, vehicle details, and employer information. A photograph is taken at each appointment. Some registrants must submit a DNA sample. All data goes to the Texas DPS.

Verification frequency depends on offense classification. Most verify annually; higher-risk offenders check in every 90 days. Any change to a registered address, vehicle, or employer must be reported to CSPD within seven days. Missing the seven-day deadline is a separate felony offense under Texas law.

• Register with College Station PD within 7 days of city residence
• Report all registration changes within 7 days
• Annual or quarterly check-in required
• Non-compliance is a felony under Chapter 62
• CSPD submits all data to the Texas DPS public registry
