Searching Concho County: what to expect
Concho County keeps a modest online footprint — 2 of the 16 sources below are the county's own; the rest is statewide coverage. The county docket is online at co.concho.tx.us — one of the more useful local sources, since Texas has no single statewide court search. The standout local source is esearch.conchocad.org, covering parcel and property-tax data. The county posts nothing for vital records, so that search runs through the statewide sources on our Texas vital records page.

The 4-Step Concho County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Concho County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Concho County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Texas statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Texas state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Concho County Records
MYTH"Concho County maintains all criminal records."
FACTCriminal records for Concho County are held by the Texas state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
MYTH"Records sealed in Concho County are gone everywhere."
FACTSealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
MYTH"Free 'instant background' sites have Concho County data."
FACTOnly the official Texas state repository has verified, current Concho County data. Free sites often have stale data.
MYTH"The Concho County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
FACTThe Concho County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
MYTH"All county records older than 50 years are public."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Concho County?
Concho County court cases are searchable through the 25.0003 • General statutory county court jurisdiction. portal: https://www.txcourts.gov/All_Archived_documents/JudicialInformation/pubs/AR97/judad.htm. Texas also operates a state-level case lookup through the re:SearchTX system. For federal matters, see PACER.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Texas?
Yes — in Texas, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Texas if I wasn't convicted?
In Texas, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Texas's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
How do I find someone in ICE custody?
Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System (locator.ice.gov). You can search by A-number (alien registration number) or by biographical information (name, country of birth, date of birth). The system covers adult detainees currently in ICE custody.
