Bee County is located in South Texas. Beeville is the county seat and the largest community. Offenders who live within the city limits of Beeville or another incorporated city in the county must register with that city's police department instead of the Sheriff. If you are unsure which agency covers your address, call the Sheriff's Office before your seven-day registration window closes.

The Bee County District Clerk maintains public court records for felony criminal cases including sex offenses. These records are available at the courthouse in Beeville and can show conviction details and registration orders.

Texas Registration Law Requirements

Texas sex offender registration is controlled by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law defines who must register, when they must do so, and what they must provide to local law enforcement. In Bee County, the obligation falls on anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense who establishes a residence in the county.

Registrants must appear in person within seven days of establishing a new address. They must provide their name, current address, a photograph, and details of their conviction. Annual in-person verification is the baseline requirement. Some offenders, particularly those assigned a higher risk level, must verify every 90 days. Any change of address requires notifying law enforcement within seven days. Failing to register is a felony under Texas law. For most qualifying offenses, the registration period lasts for life.

• Register within 7 days of establishing residence in Bee County
• Appear in person at the Sheriff's Office in Beeville
• Provide ID, proof of address, and offense information
• Annual in-person verification at minimum
• Report any address change within 7 days

Additional Resources

The Texas Attorney General provides victim resources and general information about the sex offender registration program at texasattorneygeneral.gov. For juvenile offender registration, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department handles that part of the program under different rules than adult registration. If you have questions about a specific record in the registry or believe a record is incorrect, the appropriate contact is the local law enforcement agency listed as the verification agency on that record, or the DPS Crime Records Service.

The Texas DPS Sex Offender Registration Program page explains what information is publicly available and what is protected. Sensitive information like social security numbers and phone numbers are not included in the public registry file, even though law enforcement agencies hold those details internally.
