NM dataXchange
General Information
In 2019 the New Mexico Legislature authorized the Crime Reduction Grant Act under HB0267. This legislation directed local Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils to “facilitate sharing of criminal justice information between agencies” NMSA 1978 § 31-28-3(E)(5). It also directed the New Mexico Sentencing Commission to “create and maintain a data-sharing network [to promote] information sharing among criminal justice agencies” NMSA 1978 § 9-3-10(D)(14). Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils from across the state voted to support a statewide data sharing platform.
The NM dataXchange data sharing platform is supplied by Tyler Technologies Data & Insights as a “Data as a Service” (DaaS). The platform is hosted in a cloud environment; allows data to flow in near-real-time; provides other government entities access to the data without allowing access directly to the agency’s case management system; and offers viewing options on the platform or customizable formatting for data downloads.
NM dataXchange was rolled out as a pilot in Phase 1 to all New Mexico Criminal Justice Partners. The pilot expired in June of 2020 and included New Mexico Court data for the following datasets:
- Notice of Hearing Information
- Open/Active Warrants
- Release Orders
- Orders of Protection
- Criminal Sentences
- Criminal Disposition
Since then additional datasets have been rolled out in Phase 2 & 3 of the project, such as:
- Transport Orders
- Criminal Disposition for years 2000 – Present Day
- Criminal Sentencing for years 2000 – Present Day
- Warrants over 10 years (active/issued)
- Cases Filed over 10 years (criminal cases)
- Landlord Tenant Evictions
- Landlord Tenant Evictions Map
- Active Warrants Street Map
- Court Hearings During a Pandemic Story
- District Court Probate Cases 2019 – 2021
- Bernalillo County
- MDC Inmate Information
- San Juan County Sheriff
- Arrests
- Bookings/Booking Sheets
- Criminal Complaint
- Probable Cause
- DA Case Referral Form
- Cases
- DWIs
- Traffic Citations
- Vehicles
- Warrants
- Sandoval County
- Inmate Information
- Department of Public Safety (DPS)
- State ID (SID)
In FY24 there will be a separate project to share publicly-accessible criminal justice data with the public.
There is no cost for our Criminal Justice Partners to participate on the platform to share or access data. The subscription costs are covered by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC).

Search Instructions
To search for other datasets, you can perform a simple keyword search on the landing page or in the Data Catalog. The platform uses word stemming, which automatically includes common forms of the same root term. For example, searching for “educational,” will also match “education”, “educating” and “educate”. You may narrow a search by selecting a specific category to search within. Categories on the platform refer to the justice partner or type of justice partner that created the dataset.
Search results are rendered based on information contained within the metadata of the datasets. The order of search results are not alphabetical but are determined, in part, by the view count and frequency of updates to the dataset.
