Irving Felony Records
Irving felony records are filed and maintained at the Dallas County District Clerk's Office, which handles all felony cases for cities in Dallas County including Irving. If you need to look up a criminal case, check charges, or get copies of court documents from a felony proceeding, you can search through Dallas County's public records portal or visit the Frank Crowley Courts Building in Dallas. Irving sits just west of Dallas and is home to roughly 240,000 people. The Irving Police Department handles local arrests, but all felony prosecutions go through Dallas County District Court. This page covers how to find Irving felony records, where to request documents, and what other resources are available for criminal case research.
Irving Overview
Where Irving Felony Records Are Kept
All Irving felony records are held by the Dallas County District Clerk. Felony cases in Texas are filed at the district court level, and Irving falls entirely within Dallas County. That means every felony arrest that leads to an indictment in Irving gets processed through the Frank Crowley Courts Building in downtown Dallas. The District Clerk manages case files, stores documents, and handles public records requests.
The Dallas County District Clerk has maintained felony records dating back to 1975. Records include the original indictment, court filings, motions, hearing dates, plea information, jury verdicts, and final judgments. You can search the records by case number or by using the criminal background search tool on the county's portal.

How to Search Irving Felony Records Online
Dallas County has a public online portal where you can search felony records for free. You can look up cases by last name, first name, middle name, or case number. The portal shows case status, charges, court dates, and disposition info. It covers cases going back several decades.
Start at the Dallas County Criminal Records Search. You'll find a search form where you enter the person's name. Results come back with case numbers, charges, and current status. Clicking into a case shows more detail including docket entries and hearing dates. For recent cases the system updates regularly, so what you see should match the current court status.
Two other statewide tools are useful for Irving felony research. The Texas Office of Court Administration runs re:SearchTX, which lets you look up court records from participating counties across the state. The Texas Department of Public Safety also operates a Criminal History database, but public access there is limited to name-based searches and returns only conviction data. The full TDCJ offender search at offender.tdcj.texas.gov lets you check on people currently under TDCJ supervision.
The Dallas County online portal covers felony and misdemeanor cases. Filter by case type if you only want to see felony matters. Case numbers starting with "F" typically indicate felony filings.
Irving Police Department Records
The Irving Police Department handles incident reports, arrest records, and local criminal activity in the city. While felony court records sit with Dallas County, the Irving PD is where you request police reports for incidents that took place in Irving.
Arrest records from Irving PD document the initial detention and charges. When a felony arrest leads to an indictment, the case moves to Dallas County District Court and the Dallas County District Clerk's office takes over the file. If you need information about an arrest before charges were filed, or need a police incident report, contact Irving PD directly.

What Irving Felony Records Include
A felony case file from Dallas County can hold a lot of documents. What's in there depends on how far the case went. Most files at minimum show the indictment, charging instrument, and case disposition. More complex cases have much more.
- Grand jury indictment or information
- Arrest warrant and affidavit
- Court filings and motions by both sides
- Plea agreements or trial transcripts
- Sentencing orders and final judgment
- Probation or deferred adjudication orders
Some documents in a felony file may be sealed. Juvenile records are almost always sealed. Cases where the defendant received deferred adjudication and later got a non-disclosure order will not show up in a standard public search. If you believe a record was sealed or expunged and you're trying to verify that, you may need to contact the Dallas County District Clerk directly.
Under Texas Government Code Chapter 552, most court records are public by default. There are exceptions for sensitive materials, ongoing investigations, and certain victim information. What you can actually get in hand may be narrower than what the file contains.
Statewide Felony Record Resources for Irving
Texas runs several databases that apply to Irving residents and cases. These are useful when you want to go beyond the Dallas County portal or confirm information from a different angle.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice runs the statewide offender search tool. If someone was convicted of a felony in Texas and sentenced to state prison or placed on state supervision, they will likely appear in the TDCJ Offender Search. This tool is free and open to the public. You can search by name or TDCJ number. Results include current location, offense, sentence length, and supervision status.
Texas DPS maintains the statewide Criminal History database. Authorized employers and agencies use this for background checks. The public can access some conviction data through DPS Crime Records, but full reports cost a fee and require fingerprints for self-request or a third-party authorization. If you need a complete criminal history for someone in Irving, a paid DPS request is the most thorough option.
The re:SearchTX portal run by the Texas Office of Court Administration aggregates court records from participating counties. Dallas County participates. You can search by name, case number, or other identifiers and see results from multiple courts in one place.
The Dallas County Criminal Records Search portal lets you look up felony cases by name or case number for free. Irving felony cases are filed there under Dallas County District Court.
