Registration Agencies in Titus County

The Titus County Sheriff's Office handles sex offender registration for residents living in unincorporated parts of the county. For those living inside Mount Pleasant city limits, the Mount Pleasant Police Department serves as the primary registration authority. Both agencies collect required information and submit it to the Texas DPS for inclusion in the statewide registry.

Mount Pleasant is the largest city in Titus County and the center of county government. The police department there handles day-to-day registration for city residents, while the sheriff's office covers everything outside the city. Any smaller cities or communities within Titus County may also maintain their own local registration processes through their respective police departments.

Regardless of which local agency processes the registration, all records end up in the Texas DPS database. That is where the public can perform searches covering the entire county.

Searching Titus County Offender Records

The Texas DPS public registry at sor.dps.texas.gov is the best tool for searching registered sex offenders in Titus County. Enter a Mount Pleasant address or nearby zip code and choose a search radius. Results include each registrant's current address, photo, offense type, and Texas risk level classification.

Texas assigns three risk levels to registered sex offenders. Level 1 means low risk. Level 2 is moderate. Level 3 is the highest risk designation. When a Level 3 offender moves into a new area, state law requires that the local agency notify the community. In Titus County, the sheriff's office or Mount Pleasant PD handles those notifications depending on where the person lives.

Note: The DPS registry includes only currently active registrants. People who have completed their registration period or had it removed by court order are not visible in the database.

Chapter 62 and Titus County Registrants

Texas sex offender registration law is found in Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law specifies which offenses require registration, how long the obligation lasts, and what happens when someone fails to comply. Anyone convicted of a covered offense must register, whether the conviction was in Texas, another state, or federal court.

New registrants in Titus County must appear at the appropriate agency within seven days of establishing residence or being released from custody. They provide a photo, verify their address, name their employer, and list any vehicles. The agency processes the registration and sends the data to DPS. Annual verification is required for most registrants. Those at higher risk levels verify every 90 days.

Changes to address, job, or vehicle must be reported within seven days of the change. Non-compliance is a state jail felony and can become a third-degree felony based on the specifics of the original case. Titus County law enforcement works with TDCJ and state supervision agencies to check that registrants remain in compliance.
