Questions about official Duval County criminal records usually belong with the office that created or maintains the document. The District Clerk handles felony files, the County Clerk keeps Class A and B misdemeanor cases, and the Sheriff's Department holds local incident, booking, and custody material. Statewide criminal history requests go through Texas DPS. The contacts below route each request in San Diego or statewide to its source while making clear which services this private reference site cannot provide.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve official records, perform background checks, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expunction filing. Contact the government custodian that holds the source record.

  • Police or incident report: ask the law-enforcement agency whose officer created it. Freer Police Department has its own public-record request route.
  • Review of your own national identity history: use the FBI Identity History Summary process and follow its current fingerprint and payment instructions.

The Sheriff is the primary county law-enforcement custodian, but the clerk and sheriff do not hold interchangeable files. For courthouse records, call the misdemeanor or felony clerk before travel and ask what cause number, identification, copy charge, and certification option the request requires.
