Computerized Criminal History (CCH)
WHAT IS CCH?
Chapter 60, Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) defines the Computerized Criminal History
System (CCH) as the statewide repository of criminal history data reported to DPS
by local criminal justice agencies in Texas. CCH is one component of the Texas Criminal
Justice Information System (CJIS). The other component of CJIS is the Corrections
Tracking System (CTS) managed by the Department of Criminal Justice (DCJ).
WHAT DATA IS INCLUDED IN CCH?
Chapter 60, CCP requires that information on arrests, prosecutions and the disposition
of the case for persons arrested for Class B misdemeanor or greater violation of
Texas criminal statutes be included in CCH. The statute identifies many of the actual
data elements. In addition, although not required by statute, CCH has traditionally
included limited supervision data reported to DPS by DCJ.
WHAT DATA IS AVAILABLE ON THE PUBLIC WEBSITE?
The Conviction Database is public record information extracted from the DPS Computerized
Criminal History System (CCH). The information contained in CCH is only public if
a conviction or deferred adjudication has been reported to the Department on an
offense.
