This Is Not a Government Office. Goliad County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve official records, conduct an official background check, amend or remove a record, or receive an expunction or nondisclosure filing. Those services remain with the responsible government custodian.
Need an Official Record?
Choose the office by record type. A booking entry and a court judgment may concern the same event, but they remain separate records in Goliad County.
- Court case files: contact the combined Goliad County and District Clerk for district felony and constitutional county-court misdemeanor files
- State criminal history: use the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal History Name Search or the DPS personal-review process through FAST and IdentoGO, as appropriate
- Arrest, booking, jail, or Sheriff reports: contact the Goliad County Sheriff/Jail, and use a written Texas Public Information Act request when a phone inquiry is not enough
- Police incident reports: ask the agency whose officer created the report; City of Goliad requests can be routed through the city main number at 361-645-3454
- Custody and registry records: use TDCJ Online Inmate Search for state custody and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry for published registration profiles
- Fine-only city cases: contact the City of Goliad Municipal Court at 152 W. End St., Goliad, Texas 77963, or call 361-645-3454
Goliad County Sheriff/Jail: 700 E. End St., Goliad, TX 77963; phone 361-645-1262; fax 361-645-2230.

A written Texas Public Information Act request may be delivered in person, sent by mail to the street address, or faxed to the listed number.
Goliad County and District Clerk: Goliad County Courthouse, 127 N. Courthouse Square, Goliad, TX 77963; mailing address P.O. Box 50, Goliad, TX 77963; phone 361-645-3294. Effective June 1, 2026, the announced hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with closure from noon to 12:30 p.m. Monetary transactions stop after 5:00 p.m. Confirm the schedule with the clerk before traveling or planning a payment.
The clerk's Goliad Public Search is the local online starting point for its case files. re:SearchTX can supplement that search, but it should not be treated as a complete statewide public criminal-case database. For a certified document or an older paper file, ask the clerk what is available and whether a copy charge applies. Goliad County did not publish a stable local criminal-copy fee in the reviewed sources.
