Halloween 2017: Find Fort Bend County's Sex Offenders

SUGAR LAND, TX — The time of year where children don costumes of every sort and travel door-to-door for candy and other treats is suppose to be fun.

However, it's also the time of year where police are taking extra precautions relating to sex offenders in various neihgborhoods.

To help ensure your child’s safety, the Texas DPS website recently updated the list of registered sex offenders in the Sugar Land and Fort Bend County area. (Want to get daily news updates and other events going on in your area? Sign up for the free Sugar Land Patch morning newsletter.)

Parents who want to know where the sex offenders are in their neighborhood, can check the sex offender registry.

However, Patch has created a map you can use in conjunction with the DPS database that can show you were the sex offenders are in your neighborhood.

Prior to the maps being published, the Board of Directors for the National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws wrote letters to Patch asking us not to publish this information to our readers. Click the link below to read what they had to say.
