Where Can a Sex Offender Live in Texas?

A sex offender in Texas can not live, work, or even visit certain public places. A convicted sex offender can’t live or loiter within 1,000 feet of childcare facilities, schools, and the home of the victim. The state parole board can determine the distances and even which places an offender can visit. Convicted sex offenders must also alert the local police of their address. The offender may also be required to have his/her name, and address printed on the local newspaper, or other publications to let the public know where they live.

How Can I Get off the Sex Offender Registry in Texas?

Sex offenders can get off the registry in Texas through a removal process called deregistration. Through deregistration, an offender can have their name removed when he/she meets certain requirements. The requirements needed to be removed from the registry are completing the sex offender treatment program; which requires offenders to go through counseling, and by receiving confirmation from certain professionals that he/she no longer posses a threat of reoffending.
