Chapter 62 Registration Requirements

Sex offender registration in Texas is governed by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law applies throughout Navarro County and every other Texas county. It defines which offenses require registration, sets the timelines for registering and verifying, and spells out what happens when someone moves or fails to comply. Chapter 62 is the governing law for all local agencies that handle registration in Navarro County.

Most people required to register must do so within seven days of moving to a new Texas address. Annual verification is standard for most registrants. Higher-risk offenders verify every 90 days. Missing a registration or verification deadline is a criminal offense under Texas law. Registration can be for life or for a defined period. The length depends on the offense type and the person's criminal history.
