Registration in Wilson County
Wilson County is southeast of San Antonio in South-Central Texas. The county sits within the broader San Antonio metro region and has seen significant residential growth as people look for housing outside the city. Floresville is the county seat. The Floresville Police Department handles registration for those living within Floresville city limits. The Wilson County Sheriff's Office handles all unincorporated areas and smaller communities throughout the rest of the county.
Registration must be done in person. Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID and any court or supervision documents related to your conviction. The registering agency enters your information and forwards it to the Texas DPS for the public statewide database. All address changes must be reported within seven days. Changes to employment, vehicles, and online accounts you use regularly are also subject to the same seven-day reporting rule under Chapter 62.
Wilson County's proximity to Bexar County and the San Antonio metro means some residents commute regularly across county lines. Commuting does not affect your registration obligation. As long as your home address is in Wilson County, you register and verify here. If you move to Bexar County or another county, you must notify Wilson County and register with the appropriate agency at your new address within seven days.

Chapter 62 Registration Requirements
Texas sex offender registration is governed by Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The statute applies identically in Wilson County as in every other Texas county. It defines qualifying offenses, sets the initial registration deadline, establishes how often verification must occur, and outlines penalties for non-compliance. Failure to register is a felony.
The seven-day registration window opens from the date you establish any Texas address. This applies whether you are being released from incarceration, beginning community supervision, or relocating from another state. Annual in-person verification is the minimum requirement for most registrants. High-risk offenders must verify every 90 days. Any change to your home address, employer, vehicle registration, or regularly used online accounts must be reported within seven days of that change.
