Questions about an official Brown County criminal record usually belong with the government office that created or maintains it. The contacts below route court files to the proper clerk, arrest and jail material to the Sheriff, police reports to the reporting agency, and statewide history to the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division. Brownwood is the county seat, and the main county court offices are in the Brown County Courthouse.

This Is Not a Government Office. Brown County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It cannot obtain an official record, conduct an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expunction filing. Those services must come from the authorized government custodian.

Use the office tied to the record type and jurisdiction in Brown County:

  • Felony court files: Brown County District Clerk, Brown County Courthouse, 200 S. Broadway St., Room 216, Brownwood, TX 76801; 325-646-5514; Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
  • County misdemeanor files: Brown County Clerk, Brown County Courthouse, 200 S. Broadway St., Room 101, Brownwood, TX 76801; 325-643-2594; call to confirm current counter hours.
  • Sheriff reports and county law-enforcement records: Brown County Sheriff, Law Enforcement Center, 1050 W. Commerce, Brownwood, TX 76801; 325-646-5510; call to confirm the current request route and office hours.
  • Jail and current custody information: Brown County Jail at the Law Enforcement Center, 1050 W. Commerce, Brownwood, TX 76801; 325-641-2481; call to confirm access before visiting.
  • State criminal history and personal review: use the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division and its official fingerprint instructions.
  • Police incident reports: request the report from the city or state agency whose officer created it, rather than from a county clerk.
  • Expunction or nondisclosure filings: begin with the Brown County clerk that holds the underlying case and confirm the current filing method and fees.

The Sheriff is the main county custodian for releasable law-enforcement records, but it does not issue clerk case files or statewide DPS histories. For a court matter, determine whether the charge was a felony or county misdemeanor before choosing the District Clerk or County Clerk. The Brown County court case lookup explains that split in more detail.
