Plan for the Tarrant County side of DFW
A Fort Worth search should fit your real commute and appointments. Open to both sides of DFW? Weigh the trips and costs for Fort Worth and Dallas on their own. Ask us if we cover the suburb, ZIP code or community you want.
Get your court record from the right office
For Tarrant County cases, felony records come from the District Clerk's criminal section. Class A and B misdemeanor records come from the County Clerk's criminal courts office. It helps to have the court and case number from your paperwork in front of you. A case from another county? That county's district or county clerk has the record.
We check each property's criteria
We read each community's current written criteria for you. That means looking at which case results its criminal history rule counts, how far back it looks and who does the review. Ask the community what you'll pay to apply and when it's due. An older building, an empty unit or a move-in special doesn't mean the rules are looser.
If your parole or probation limits where you can live, ask your officer about the address before you commit to it. We can't approve that address or promise how an apartment will decide.

Fort Worth Rental Notes
Our Fort Worth searches cover the city and suburbs like Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Euless, Bedford and Benbrook. Burleson sits in both Johnson and Tarrant counties, and Mansfield spills into Johnson and Ellis counties.
Court records stay with the county where the case was filed. For a Johnson County case, ask the Johnson County clerks, not Tarrant's.
Since each community sets its own screening rules, we check every property on its own.
Trinity Metro runs the buses and TEXRail. TEXRail stops in downtown Fort Worth, North Richland Hills and Grapevine on its way to DFW Airport. The Trinity Railway Express runs to downtown Dallas.
TDCJ has several district parole offices in Fort Worth. Tell us your deadline, and get your parole officer to approve the address before you sign.

Fort Worth Renters Ask Us
How is a Fort Worth search different from a Dallas search?
The steps are the same, but the communities and counties differ. Fort Worth is mostly in Tarrant County, so your court records come from different clerks. Trinity Metro runs the buses and trains. If you're open to both, tell us and we'll search each side.
Do you cover Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Euless and Bedford?
Yes. We search those cities, plus Saginaw, Crowley, Everman, Benbrook, Burleson and Mansfield. Send us a ZIP code for anywhere else.
Where can I get help clearing my record in Fort Worth?
We don't give legal advice. Our Fort Worth Local Help guide lists Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas and other local groups you can contact.
Can you help me meet a parole deadline in Tarrant County?
Yes. Write the date in the notes on our form. Then have your parole officer approve the address before you sign.
Can you search near a TEXRail station?
Yes. List the stations you need and we'll search near them. We don't give travel times, so check each trip with Trinity Metro from the address before you apply.
Where can I find apartments that accept criminal records near me in Fort Worth?
Send us your budget, move date and the areas you want. Then we check your record against each community's criteria and send a list. The community still decides.
