A common question I get from clients, specifically first responders is, “How do I hide my name and address from the Bexar County Appraisal District website?”  If you’re a police officer, corrections officer, etc – you more than likely don’t want someone you’ve had a negative interaction with be able to look up your address just by searching your name.  The request or document you’re looking for is called a request for confidentiality (click HERE for a fillable PDF file for Bexar County).

By filling out this form and sending it in (after meeting the below requirements/qualifications) to the county government, they will remove your name, address, and other information from public view on the Bexar County Appraisal District website.  I recommend anyone that is eligible to have this confidentiality do so – it only makes things safer!

When you submit this request for confidentiality you have to meet certain qualifications.  The qualified circumstances or positions are:

• Peace/Police Officer (current or former)
• County Jailer
• Commissioned Security Officer
• Employee of the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice
• Victim of Family Violence
• Officer or Employee of a Community Supervision and Corrections Department
• Federal Judge
• Spouse of a Federal Judge
• State Judge
• Spouse of a State Judge
• Employee (current or former) of District Attorney
• Employee (current or former) of Criminal District Attorney
• Employee (current or former) of County Attorney
• Employee (current or former) of Municipal Attorney
• Employee (current or former) of Attorney General
• United States Attorney (current or former)
• Spouse of current or former United States Attorney
• Child of current or former United States Attorney
