Limestone County Sex Offender Registry

Limestone County is in Central Texas, with Groesbeck as its county seat and Mexia as the largest city.

Limestone County Sheriff Registration

The Limestone County Sheriff's Office in Groesbeck handles sex offender registration for all residents outside incorporated cities. Groesbeck sits on TX-14 and serves as the judicial center for the county. Mexia, located on US-84, is the county's largest community and has its own police department that registers offenders living within Mexia's city limits.

If you live in Groesbeck, go to the Groesbeck Police Department. If you live in Mexia, go to the Mexia Police Department. For all other addresses in the county, the sheriff's office is your registration point. If your address is on the edge of a city boundary, call ahead to confirm which agency has jurisdiction. Getting this right from the start ensures your registration is valid and on time.

You must appear in person. Bring photo ID and proof of your current address. The officer takes your photo and submits your registration to the Texas DPS. The record then becomes publicly searchable in the statewide registry. Registration is a requirement under Texas law, not a request, and missing the seven-day deadline has serious legal consequences.

Chapter 62 Registration Requirements

Texas sex offender registration follows Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law applies in Limestone County exactly as it does statewide. Registration must occur within seven days of establishing a new address. Annual verification is the standard for most registrants. Higher-risk offenders verify every 90 days.

Some offenses require lifetime registration, while others carry a ten-year period from the end of supervision. Failure to comply with any part of Chapter 62 is a felony in Texas. The Limestone County Sheriff and the local police departments monitor compliance in their respective jurisdictions. Violations are referred to the Limestone County District Attorney. Both the registration requirement and the verification schedule must be followed. Missing one or the other can result in new felony charges.
