Kimble County Sex Offenders

Kimble County is a rural Hill Country county in West-Central Texas with Junction as its county seat. The Kimble County Sheriff's Office is the registration authority for sex offenders in the county. All registration records are transmitted to the Texas DPS and made available to the public through the statewide search portal at sor.dps.texas.gov. You can search Kimble County sex offender records by name or zip code at no cost.

Kimble County Sheriff Registration

The Kimble County Sheriff's Office in Junction is where sex offenders living in the county must register. Junction sits at the confluence of the North and South Llano rivers along I-10, and while it is a small community, the same registration rules that apply throughout Texas apply here. The sheriff is the local enforcement arm of the Texas DPS sex offender registration program.

You must register in person. Bring a valid photo ID and documentation showing your current address. The registration officer will take your photograph and fingerprints and submit the completed registration to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Once the DPS processes it, your record becomes part of the public registry. That process typically happens within a short time of the local agency's submission.

The Junction Police Department also registers offenders who live within city limits. If you live inside the city of Junction, go to the Junction PD rather than the sheriff's office. The registration obligation is the same regardless of which agency you report to, and the data ends up in the same statewide database either way.

Kimble County Sex Offender Database

All Kimble County registrations are part of the Texas DPS public registry at sor.dps.texas.gov. Searching is free. Enter a name or the zip code 76849, which covers the Junction area, to see registered sex offenders in the county. Each result shows the person's name, photo, date of birth, current address, and the offense that requires them to register.

Because Kimble County has a small population, the number of registered offenders in the county may be low at any given time. That makes the individual results more meaningful, since each one represents someone who actually lives nearby. Check back periodically to see if any new registrations have been added.

Registration Requirements for Kimble County

Texas sex offender registration is governed by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law requires registration within seven days of establishing any new address in Texas. It does not matter whether you are moving from another state or just down the road. The seven-day window is firm, and missing it can result in a new felony charge.

Annual verification is required for most registrants. Those assigned a higher risk level may need to verify every 90 days. Some offenses require lifetime registration, while others carry a ten-year obligation. The specific rules depend on the conviction and the offender's prior registration history. Consulting a Texas attorney can help clarify what applies in a specific case, especially if you have questions about verification frequency or whether a prior out-of-state conviction triggers Texas registration requirements.

• Register within 7 days of arriving at any new Texas address
• Appear in person at the Kimble County Sheriff or Junction Police
• Provide photo ID, address proof, and conviction details
• Verify registration on the required schedule
• Report any change of address promptly

Note: Chapter 62 requirements differ based on offense type, number of prior convictions, and whether the offender is a juvenile or adult registrant.

Kimble County Court Records

The Kimble County District Clerk handles court records for felony criminal cases in the county. The courthouse is located in Junction. Court records for sex offense cases are public and include the indictment or information, the judgment, and the sentence. You can review these records in person at the clerk's office or submit a written request for copies.

The DPS registry is not a substitute for court records. It shows current registration status. Court records show the underlying legal proceeding. For a complete picture of someone's criminal history in Kimble County, you may need to check both.
