Kaufman, Texas—


The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office is making available a citizen-friendly, easy to use, sex offender website for all of Kaufman County. This website will enable citizens to search for the presence of registered sex offenders in proximity to their homes, places of work, schools and day-care centers. This information is being provided to the public in a form they can easily use any time day or night via our website.

The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office only registers Sex Offenders that live in the unincorporated areas or in cities of Kaufman County that do not have Police Departments. All other sex offenders are registered by the law enforcement agencies where they live.

Citizens may go to the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office website www.kaufmanso.com, and click on the Sex Offender Section Heading, and then be able to go to the zip code of interest to them, and see a list of currently registered sex offenders complete with a picture if available. The purpose of this website is to lessen the anxiety of citizens by proactively alerting them should an offender/predator move within proximity to them.

Additionally, al Sex Offenders registered with the Sheriff’s Office are promptly forwarded to the Texas Department of Public Safety and will be listed on their web site. Persons living in the incorporated limits of a city in Kaufman County should also check with their local Police Departments to determine if Sex Offenders live in their area.


The Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Database can be accessed here:

If you know about a sex offender who is not registered or who has registered falsely, we ask that you report that person to the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office Immediately. You may contact our Sex Offender Division at 972-932-4337.
