Terrebonne Parish Sex Offender Registry

Search registered sex offenders in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana through the Louisiana State Police registry, the primary public search tool for this large south Louisiana parish. The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office in Houma processes all local registrations and compliance checks for a parish that extends from the I-90 corridor south through coastal wetlands to the Gulf of Mexico.

How to Search the Terrebonne Parish Sex Offender Registry

Terrebonne Parish does not operate its own separate sex offender search portal. Public searches go through the Louisiana State Police sex offender registry. You can search by name, address, ZIP code, or map to find offenders with a registered home, workplace, or school in Terrebonne Parish. Each result shows a current photo, registered address, offense of conviction, tier level, and compliance status. The tool is free and open to anyone.

Terrebonne Parish is one of the larger Louisiana parishes by land area. The population is concentrated in and around Houma, with smaller communities scattered through the southern part of the parish toward the coast. Using a ZIP code or map search is the most practical way to narrow results to a specific community, since a name search returns results for the whole parish.

The LSP registry page shown above is where all Terrebonne Parish public searches take place. The database is updated each time an offender completes a required check-in or when the sheriff's office processes an address change. If you know a specific person and want to confirm their current registration status, this is the right tool to start with.

For phone-based inquiries, call the LSP sex offender hotline at 1-800-858-0551 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM CDT. Staff can confirm whether a person is registered in Terrebonne Parish and provide tier and compliance details.

The sheriff's office handles all sex offender registrations for Terrebonne Parish. Any person who moves to the parish, is released from custody with a local address, or changes their address within the parish must register with the sheriff's office within 3 business days.

Registration with Louisiana State Police is also required within 3 days, as is registration with any applicable city police department if the address falls within city limits.

Offenders whose addresses fall within Houma city limits must register with the Houma Police Department in addition to the sheriff's office and LSP.

The southern part of Terrebonne Parish is made up largely of coastal marshlands and wetlands. Some communities in that area are accessible primarily by boat or along limited road access. Offenders living in those communities still face the same registration requirements. The sheriff's office coordinates with state police on compliance checks in all parts of the parish.

Louisiana Sex Offender Laws That Govern Terrebonne Parish

Registration in Terrebonne Parish follows the statewide framework set by RS 15:540, the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Law. This law applies in every Louisiana parish without local modification. It defines who must register, sets the check-in schedule, specifies what happens when someone fails to comply, and establishes the public's right to search the registry. Terrebonne Parish follows these rules exactly as written in state law.

Tier classifications are assigned under RS 15:541. Tier I applies to the least serious qualifying offenses and requires 15 years of registration with one check-in per year. Tier II applies to more serious offenses and requires 25 years of registration with check-ins every six months. Tier III applies to the most serious offenses and means lifetime registration with a check-in every 90 days. The tier is set at sentencing and does not change afterward regardless of behavior or time passed.

What an offender must disclose at registration and at each check-in is set out in RS 15:542. Required items include full legal name and any aliases, date of birth, home address, employer name and location if employed, school address if enrolled, vehicle information, online screen names or identifiers, and a current photograph. All of this goes into the LSP statewide database and is publicly searchable at no cost.

What Terrebonne Parish Registry Records Include

When you search for an offender through the LSP registry for Terrebonne Parish, the record shows their full legal name and known aliases, a current photo, the registered home address, employer name and location if applicable, and school information if enrolled. The record also shows the offense of conviction, the assigned tier, and whether the person is in current compliance with their check-in schedule. For most entries, the date of the last check-in is also visible.

The statewide registry is updated regularly as offenders complete scheduled check-ins or when the sheriff's office enters address changes. If a record looks outdated or you believe someone is living at a different address than what is listed, report it to the sheriff's office or the LSP hotline. Acting on that kind of tip is how non-compliance investigations typically start.

For offenders recently released from state custody to a Terrebonne Parish address, check the Louisiana Department of Corrections sex offender registry page. A person released from a state facility has 3 business days to complete registration with the sheriff's office. During that window, they may appear in the DOC system before showing up in the LSP public search. Cross-referencing both databases gives the most complete picture.

State Resources for Terrebonne Parish Residents

The main LSP site at lsp.org links to the sex offender registry, troop contacts, and other public safety tools. If you are unsure where to start when looking up an offender or filing a report, the LSP homepage is a good central resource. The registry link is prominently listed under community outreach.

The DOC sex offender registry page focuses on offenders under active state supervision or recently released from state facilities. Checking both the LSP registry and the DOC page is the most thorough approach if you are trying to track down a specific individual who may have been released to a Terrebonne Parish address recently.

The LSP Troop information page identifies the state police troop that covers the Terrebonne Parish area and provides direct contact information for that troop. This is the right starting point if you want to reach state police directly rather than routing everything through the sheriff's office, particularly for compliance-related questions about specific individuals.
