If you have had run-ins with the law in the state of Texas, then there is a good chance that the state's Crime Records Service, or CRS, has a copy of the arrest report in its database. Overseen by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the CRS maintains all Texas arrest records for the state. Along with the Computerized Criminal History System, CCH for short, they serve as the central repository for all criminal records in the state of Texas.
