The previous update outlined progress toward bringing Williamson County (WilCo) fully online. This update confirms it.
Williamson County integration is now complete.
WilCo booking records are now being ingested, processed, and published on a near-daily basis, marking a major milestone in TexArrest’s statewide expansion.
📸 Williamson County: Fully Integrated
After extensive development and validation, Williamson County support is now fully operational. This includes:
- ✅ Support for the county’s public access platform
- ✅ Automated intake and publishing workflows
- ✅ Consistent handling of mugshots, charges, and booking metadata
- ✅ Ongoing, reliable updates without manual intervention
The Williamson County pipeline is now stable and self-sustaining.
📊 Early Scale Validation
Since expanded automation was enabled, TexArrest has successfully published:
- Thousands of booking records
- Across multiple Texas counties
- Within a short operational window
This confirms the TexArrest platform is operating reliably at real-world scale — beyond proof-of-concept and into sustained production.
🚀 Next Focus: Tarrant County
With Williamson County stabilized, development is shifting toward Tarrant County, which operates on a different public records platform.
- It uses a non-Tyler public access system
- It expands TexArrest’s platform compatibility
- It strengthens long-term statewide coverage
In parallel, TexArrest will begin rolling out additional counties that share similar public access formats, leveraging the now-complete Williamson County framework.
🧩 Offense Taxonomy: Ongoing Refinement
A continuing challenge across all counties is offense taxonomy normalization.
Even when counties reference the same statute, charge descriptions often vary in formatting, abbreviations, and embedded notes.
- Different wording for identical offenses
- Combined offense and agency descriptors
- Additional metadata embedded in charge titles
This makes consistent classification more complex than initially expected. However:
- The issue is well understood
- Normalization and filtering rules are actively expanding
- The goal is consistent grouping without losing original context
This work continues to improve daily.
📈 Early Search Performance
Within the first ten days of search indexing, TexArrest has already shown strong early signals:
- 1,000+ organic clicks
- 3,000+ search impressions
- Average position near the top of page one
For a new platform, this confirms real demand for centralized access to Texas public arrest records.
