Irving Sex Offender Registry
Irving sex offenders who live within city limits register with the Irving Police Department, which handles all registrations and submits those records to the Texas DPS public registry. Irving is located in Dallas County and is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with all registered sex offenders in the city searchable through the statewide DPS registry at sor.dps.texas.gov.

Irving Police Department Registration
The Irving Police Department operates a sex offender registration program for all people who live within Irving city limits. IPD handles initial registrations when people establish new residence in the city, processes periodic verifications, and updates records when offenders change their address, employer, vehicle, or online accounts.
Registrants appear in person at IPD headquarters during business hours. The department photographs the registrant and collects their current address, employment details, vehicle information, and any email addresses or social media accounts they use. All of this goes to the Texas DPS and becomes part of the publicly searchable statewide registry.
Irving is within Dallas County, and the Dallas County District Attorney's Office prosecutes felony sex crimes that involve Irving residents. Convictions through those prosecutions result in registration requirements enforced at the local level. IPD also works with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department on inter-jurisdictional registration matters and compliance monitoring across city boundaries.
Note: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport sits partially within Irving city limits. People who work at the airport and establish residency in Irving must register with IPD. Employment at the airport alone does not trigger registration, but residency in Irving does.
Searching Irving Sex Offenders in the DPS Registry
Use sor.dps.texas.gov to search for registered sex offenders in Irving. Enter any Irving street address and choose a radius. The results show all active registrants within that distance, including photos, current registered addresses, offense details, and risk levels. The search is free and does not require an account.
Irving is a mid-sized city within the DFW metro area. Searches near the Las Colinas business district, major arterials, or the airport corridor may show results from nearby neighborhoods. Adjusting the radius or using a specific zip code helps focus on a particular part of Irving. The DPS updates the database regularly as IPD and other Dallas County agencies submit new records.
Only active registrants appear in the results. Offenders who have completed their duty or had it removed by a court will not appear. The search covers all agencies in the area, so results include anyone registered with IPD within your search radius.
Chapter 62 Registration Requirements in Irving
Texas registration law is set out in Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Any person convicted of a qualifying sex offense must register if they live, work, or attend school in Texas. The requirement applies to Texas convictions and to out-of-state convictions for comparable offenses.
New Irving registrants have seven days from establishing residence or being released from custody to appear at IPD. Annual verification is standard for most offenders. Higher-risk registrants check in every 90 days. Updates to address, job, vehicles, or online accounts must be reported to IPD within seven days of any change. Not meeting these requirements is a felony.
Texas classifies offenders using three risk levels. Level 3 is the highest. Irving Police Department handles community notification for Level 3 offenders who establish new addresses within city limits. Notification may go to nearby residents, schools, and places where children gather.
The Dallas County District Attorney's Office prosecutes felony sex crimes for Irving residents. The image below shows the DA's page, which handles cases from all cities in Dallas County including Irving.
The Dallas County DA's office has specialized units for sexual assault and crimes against children, and convictions through those units typically carry registration requirements enforced through IPD.
How to Check Irving Sex Offenders Near You
The best way to check for registered sex offenders near a specific Irving address is through the Texas DPS registry. Enter the address and choose a search radius of one quarter mile, half mile, or one mile depending on how broad you want the results. The registry shows every active registrant within that zone. You can then review each person's photo, offense, and risk level to assess the situation.
If you find someone you believe is not registered or is living at a different address than what appears in the database, you can report that to IPD directly. The department investigates non-compliance and can take enforcement action when an offender is found to be in violation. This helps keep the registry accurate for everyone using it.
