Bexar County Criminal Court Records
Use Bexar’s District Clerk for felony court records, follow official court-record links, and distinguish a local felony check from wider criminal history.
Match the Bexar tool to the record you actually need
| Goal | Official route | What the result means |
|---|---|---|
| Find a Bexar criminal court case | Use the County Clerk & District Clerk criminal court search. | A case-locator route; use the identified court and case number for deeper records. |
| Check a very recent arrest | Use the Central Magistrate Search. | Bexar says this search covers people arrested within the last 24 hours. It is not a county criminal-history report. |
| Browse the District Clerk criminal index | Use the Online District Clerk Criminal Records. | The county describes it as last-name indexed with limited information; it should be treated as an index, not a complete file. |
Choose between a $5 county felony check and a case document
Bexar felony background check
Criminal Operations conducts Bexar County felony background checks for $5. Requests may be made in person or by mail if payment is included; public kiosks are available for onsite self-service searching.
Felony case copy
When the question is about a judgment, order, indictment, or another filed item, ask for the specific felony case document instead. The District Clerk is the official custodian of Bexar criminal felony court records.
County scope matters
A Bexar felony check answers a county felony question. It should not be described as a Texas-wide or nationwide background check, and it is a different product from a court-certified document.
Order the felony document with the case details attached
-
01
Capture the case locator
From the county search, retain the defendant name as displayed, case number, assigned court, and the document or disposition you need.
-
02
Request through Criminal Operations
Bexar Criminal Operations accepts felony-copy requests in person, by fax, or by mail. The main criminal line is 210-335-2591; the records page lists the office at 101 W. Nueva St., San Antonio.
-
03
Price the copy correctly
Bexar lists both plain and certified felony copies at $1 per page. Copies are made after payment; mailed payments are accepted by cashier’s check or money order.
-
04
Keep search output and issued copy distinct
A screen result helps locate the matter. If a recipient requires an official or certified filing, provide the issued copy rather than a screenshot of the index.
Do not use absence from one Bexar search as a universal “no record” result
Different Bexar systems answer different questions
The court and judicial records directory links several separate services, including court cases, dockets and magistrate/recent-arrest information. A person missing from the 24-hour magistrate feed, the limited last-name index, or one case search has only failed to appear in that particular source and scope.
