Texas DWI Defense · Officer Lookup
Before you cross the DWI officer, know where they were certified — and where else they have worked.
Texas officer records run differently: Officer Lookup returns the arresting officer's TCOLE peace-officer certification and employment history — including moves between departments, the wandering-officer pattern worth flagging — published via the National Police Index, every entry cited to the underlying public record.

Certification and employment history are cross-examination foundation.
A Texas DWI case turns on the arresting officer's training and judgment at the stop and on the field-sobriety tests. Whether the officer is currently TCOLE-certified, and whether they have moved between departments, is foundation a defender can lay before cross — the "wandering officer" who leaves one agency and is hired by another is a documented pattern worth checking on the record.
The TCOLE certification and employment record is public under the Texas Public Information Act, but assembling it per officer is its own task. Officer Lookup returns it in one search and cites every row to the record it came from, so the output works as exhibit foundation, not a tip.
- TCOLE certification + employment historypeace-officer certification status and department-to-department employment history, obtained under the Texas Public Information Act and published via the National Police Index — certification history, not internal-affairs complaint files
This is certification and employment history, not a finding of misconduct or an internal-affairs file. Entries are source-backed leads for attorney review, not Brady/Giglio determinations. Coverage is Texas and six other live jurisdictions — not all 50 states. All data is drawn from the named public source.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the officer record show in this state?
- Peace-officer certification and employment history — the agencies the officer has worked for, dates, separations, and any certification status changes, obtained under the state's public-records law and published via the National Police Index. It is certification/employment history, not a civilian-complaint or internal-affairs file.
- Why does that matter for my case?
- A short-tenure pattern of separations across agencies, a separation under inquiry, or a certification lapse is a legitimate line for cross-examination of the officer whose stop, search, and report the State's case rests on. You apply your professional judgment to what the record supports.
- Is this a finding of misconduct?
- No. The certification and employment record is a source-backed lead cited to the public record, for attorney review — not a Brady/Giglio determination and not a finding of misconduct.
- How much does it cost?
- The officer search is a free preview. The full source-cited report for a named officer is $147, with a 7-day refund if it is not usable.
