How to Search Murray Felony Records
Murray felony records are split between court records and police records. Court records originate with the 3rd District Court and cover everything from the initial charge through final sentencing. Police records come from the Murray City Police Department and document arrests, incidents, and related reports. Both types of records are public under Utah law, though some portions may be restricted depending on the case.
The best starting point for Murray felony records is the Utah Courts XChange system at utcourts.gov/xchange. XChange lets you search by name or case number. Guest access costs $5 per session plus $0.20 per search result. A monthly subscription is $40. Free public terminals are available at the 3rd District Courthouse locations, and no account is needed to use them. The West Jordan courthouse at 8080 South Redwood Road is the closest terminal location for many Murray residents.
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification runs a separate statewide name-based search for conviction records. BCI charges $15 for a name check and can be reached at (801) 965-4445. Their database includes felony convictions from Murray cases reported by the 3rd District Court. Learn more at bci.utah.gov.
Note: XChange shows court filings and decisions. BCI shows final conviction outcomes as reported to the state. The two databases can return different results for the same person.

What Murray Felony Records Contain
Murray felony records vary depending on where you request them. Police records focus on the arrest side. They include the date and location of the arrest, the charges, and the officer's report. Court records from the 3rd District cover the legal proceedings, starting with the first appearance and running through the final judgment. BCI records reflect only the conviction outcome as submitted by the court to the state.
All three sources are worth checking if you want a complete picture of a Murray felony case. Each database captures a different part of the process. XChange is the most detailed for court proceedings. BCI is most useful for confirming a final conviction. Police records provide the earliest documentation of an arrest before it moves to court.
Some Murray felony record details are not public. Records involving juveniles are sealed. Ongoing investigations may result in withheld documents. Portions of files can be redacted by the agency under GRAMA exemptions. The openrecords.utah.gov portal explains what records are public and how to appeal a denial.
Utah Felony Classes Seen in Murray Records
Utah law defines felony crimes under Utah Code Title 76. There are four felony levels. Capital felonies are the most serious. First degree felonies carry five years to life in prison and fines up to $10,000. Second degree felonies carry one to fifteen years and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies carry up to five years and fines up to $5,000.
Utah Code section 76-3-201 specifies that felony sentences are served in state prison rather than local jail. The Utah Department of Corrections manages those facilities and runs an offender search tool at corrections.utah.gov. All four felony classes create a conviction record in the 3rd District Court file and in BCI's statewide database for Murray cases. The felony class assigned to a charge appears in the XChange docket as part of the case information.
Expungement of Murray Felony Records
Some Murray felony convictions may be eligible for expungement. Expungement seals the record from public access. Capital felonies and first degree felonies are generally not eligible. Some second and third degree felony convictions may qualify after a waiting period following completion of the full sentence, including any probation or parole period.
The Bureau of Criminal Identification handles the first step. BCI reviews the case and, if eligible, issues a certificate of eligibility for expungement. The petitioner then files that certificate with the 3rd District Court, where the Murray conviction was entered. The court holds a hearing and decides whether to grant the petition. Details on eligibility requirements, waiting periods, and steps to file are at bci.utah.gov/expungements.
Note: An active warrant can affect expungement eligibility. Check the warrant status for any open cases at secure.utah.gov/warrants before starting the process.
