Timothy Daniel Burge
A Hardin County man remains listed on the Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry following a conviction for a sexual offense involving a minor, according to state records. Timothy Daniel Burge, 47, is currently registered as a Texas resident with a listed address of 3914 FM 2798 in Votaw. The registry indicates Burge is required to remain on the sex offender registry for life and must complete annual verification with law enforcement authorities. State records show Burge was born Dec. 4, 1978. He is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 240 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. A primary photograph associated with the registry entry was reported Dec. 8, 2025. According to the registry, Burge was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving a victim under the age of 17. The offense involved a 9-year-old female victim and was prosecuted under 720 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/12-16(c). Court records indicate the disposition date for the case was Oct. 10, 2000. The registry lists the judgment as discharged from other supervision. Under Texas law, individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses, including those originating in other states, may be required to register if they reside in Texas and the offense would be considered a registrable crime under state statutes. The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office in Kountze recorded Burge’s initial Texas registration on July 5, 2022. The most recent verification event was recorded Dec. 8, 2025, also by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office. Texas law requires individuals on the registry to periodically verify their residence and identifying information with local law enforcement agencies. In Burge’s case, the registry requires annual verification, meaning the registrant must confirm his information with authorities once each year. The Texas Sex Offender Registration Program is administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety and requires individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses to provide identifying information including physical description, address and other relevant details to local law enforcement authorities where they reside. Information in the public registry is maintained by the Texas Department of Public Safety but is reported by the law enforcement agency serving as the individual’s last registration authority. State officials note the information reflects details as reported by those agencies and may be updated as individuals complete required verifications. The DPS registry also includes a notice stating the agency cannot guarantee that records obtained through the website relate to a specific individual without fingerprint verification. Searches on the site are typically based on names, birth dates or other identifying information. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62, individuals required to register must remain listed on the public registry until their legal duty to register expires or other relief is granted by statute or court order. Residents can access the Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry online to review publicly available information regarding registered offenders and to stay informed about individuals required to report their status to law enforcement.
