Find Sex Offenders in Conroe

Conroe, Texas handles sex offender registration through the Conroe Police Department and the Texas DPS statewide registry. Conroe is the county seat of Montgomery County, just north of Houston. This page covers how to search for registered sex offenders in Conroe, which offices handle local registration, and what the law requires under Chapter 62.

Conroe Police Department

The Conroe Police Department handles sex offender registration for all residents living within Conroe city limits. CPD processes registrations at its headquarters during regular business hours. The department coordinates with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office on cases where offenders move between city and county jurisdiction. For questions about registration inside Conroe city limits, CPD is the right contact.

Anyone required to register must appear in person at CPD with valid identification and documentation related to their offense and release. Officers collect personal data, take a current photograph, and submit everything to the Texas DPS for inclusion in the statewide public registry. Registration is not optional. Anyone who has been convicted of a qualifying sex offense and lives in Conroe must register within seven days of establishing residence.

For details about local registration procedures, visit the Conroe Police Department sex offender information page or the Conroe Police Department main site.

Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office handles sex offender registration for residents in unincorporated parts of Montgomery County outside Conroe city limits. Montgomery County has seen rapid growth in recent years, and many residential communities in the county sit outside incorporated city limits even though they have Conroe mailing addresses. If your address is in an unincorporated area, you register with the Sheriff's Office rather than CPD.

The Sheriff's Office maintains its own registration unit and submits all registration data to the Texas DPS. Offenders registered through the county appear in the same statewide search database as those registered with city police departments. There is one searchable registry for the whole state.

Note: A Conroe mailing address does not always mean you are inside Conroe city limits. If you are unsure which agency handles your registration, call the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office before going to CPD.
