Hill County Sheriff's Office

The Hill County Sheriff's Office handles sex offender registration for unincorporated Hill County. The office is located at 1700 E. Franklin Street, Hillsboro, Texas 76645. You can reach them at (254) 582-5011. Registration is available during regular business hours. Call to confirm current hours before showing up, and ask what documents you need to bring.

Hill County sits in North-Central Texas between Dallas and Waco, straddling Interstate 35. The county includes Hillsboro, Corsicana (which is in Navarro County), and smaller communities like Hubbard, Abbott, and Covington. The rural areas between these towns are unincorporated territory where the Sheriff is the registration authority. Registrants must appear in person, provide their current address, and be photographed. The Sheriff submits that data to the Texas DPS.

Anyone moving to Hill County must register within seven days. This applies whether you are coming from another county in Texas or from another state.

City Registration Points

Hillsboro is the county seat and the largest city in Hill County. People who live within Hillsboro city limits register with the Hillsboro Police Department. The Hillsboro PD is at 106 S. Covington Street, Hillsboro, TX 76645, phone (254) 582-7000. Other cities in Hill County, including Hubbard, also have local police departments. Those residents register with city police, not the Sheriff.

If you are not sure whether your address falls inside city limits, contact the Hill County Sheriff's Office. They can help determine which agency covers your location. The answer matters because registering with the wrong agency does not satisfy your Chapter 62 obligation under Texas law.

Chapter 62 Requirements

Texas sex offender registration law is in Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law identifies which offenses require registration, when you must register, and what verification applies going forward. The basic rule is registration within seven days of establishing a new Texas address.

You must appear in person to register. Provide your address, a photo, and conviction details. Most offenders verify annually. High-risk offenders verify every 90 days. Moving to a new address within Hill County, from one city to another or from a city to a rural area, still triggers the seven-day re-registration window. Violating Chapter 62 is a criminal offense. Repeat violations can lead to felony charges.

• Register within 7 days of any new address in Texas
• Appear in person at the appropriate local agency
• Provide photo, address, and offense information
• Verify registration at least annually
• Every 90 days for high-risk offenders
• Notify your registration authority before moving
