This Is Not a Government Office. Cottle County Criminal History is privately operated. It cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official check, correct or remove government data, or receive an expunction filing. Those actions must go through the responsible public office.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that created or maintains the Cottle County record:
- Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
- Criminal-history results: use the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division
- Arrest, booking, custody, and warrant records: contact the Cottle County Sheriff
- Official Texas record review: follow the DPS name-search or FAST and IdentoGO fingerprint process that fits the request
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
- Expunction and nondisclosure: contact the clerk for filing procedures under Chapter 55A or Chapter 411
Cottle County Sheriff: P.O. Box 887, Paducah, TX 79248; telephone 806-492-3131; email cottlesopubliccorrespondence@gmail.com. The official county page does not name a separate records division, publish office hours, or confirm a physical sheriff records counter. Call before attempting an in-person visit. A written request may be labeled “Public Information Request” and should describe the existing record sought.
Cottle County/District Clerk: 815 9th Street, Paducah, TX 79248; P.O. Box 717, Paducah, TX 79248-0717; telephone 806-492-3823; fax 806-492-2625. This combined office is the local contact for filed criminal case records, docket availability, inspection, copies, and certification. Its official pages do not publish counter hours, so confirm access before traveling to the courthouse.
