Welcome,

     For over 34 years I have been privileged to serve the citizens of Tarrant County as the Criminal District Attorney. During this period many changes and improvements have been made in the criminal justice system. A greater emphasis has been placed on the rights of the victims of crime. The legislature has toughened our criminal laws.

 
 

     The Tarrant County Commissioners Court has increased the funding for this office. These actions have enabled this office to vigorously prosecute those who prey upon the law abiding citizens of our community. These groups of dedicated people, in association with all 332 staff members, have helped this office obtain a felony conviction rate averaging in excess of 90%. Managing a legal organization of this size has presented many challenges through the years. We feel that we have not only met these challenges but continued to improve the services rendered to the citizens of Tarrant County.

     We have established a Victims Assistance Unit to aid those who have been victimized. We have been able to create specialized units consisting of prosecutors and investigators concentrating in the areas of crimes against children, family violence, gang prosecution, economic crimes, and most recently, computer crimes.
 
      The Criminal District Attorney also represents Tarrant County, as well as elected public officials and the Tarrant County Hospital District in civil matters in both state and federal court. Overall, the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney is responsible for the daily management and operation of the largest law firm in the county. I am proud to have been entrusted with this responsibility for this period of time.

 

     This web site has been created for the benefit of the educators, students and taxpayers of Tarrant County as well as to visitors from throughout the Internet. It is hoped that the information on this site will be both helpful, informative and will be utilized in the prevention and prosecution of crime and criminal activity in Tarrant County. I consider it a personal privilege to welcome you to this site.
 
                                                                 Sincerely,
 
                                                                 Tim Curry
