The process is the same regardless of which agency handles the registration. New residents moving into Milam County from another county or state must register within seven days of establishing their new address. This applies to people released from TDCJ who are moving to the area as well.

Chapter 62 and Registration Requirements

Sex offender registration in Texas is governed by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law applies to every county in Texas, including Milam County. It defines which offenses trigger a registration requirement, how quickly someone must register after establishing a new address, and how often they must verify their registration. Chapter 62 also covers what happens when someone moves, fails to register, or has changes in registration details.

Most people required to register must do so within seven days of moving to a new address. Annual verification is required for most registrants. Higher-risk offenders must verify every 90 days. Failing to register or verify on time is a separate criminal offense in Texas. The length of the registration requirement varies by offense type and the person's prior record. Some people must register for life. Others have a defined registration period that can eventually end if they comply with all requirements.

• Register within 7 days of moving to a new Texas address
• Report in person to the sheriff or police in your area
• Provide current address, photo, fingerprints, and offense information
• Verify registration at least once per year
• Higher-risk offenders verify every 90 days
• Failure to register is a criminal offense with additional penalties
