This update marks another major step forward for TexArrest. Multiple county integrations are now operating in parallel, with stable publishing workflows and improved coverage across jurisdictions.
📂 Arrest Records Without Mugshots
TexArrest has expanded coverage to include arrest and booking records that do not include an associated mugshot.
These records are grouped under the category “No Mugshot Available.”
Not all agencies publish booking photos, and some images are delayed or never released publicly. Including these records ensures visibility is based on the availability of public arrest data — not the presence of a photo.
🤖 Williamson County — Stable & Fully Integrated
Williamson County is now operating through a fully integrated and stable publishing workflow, requiring no ongoing manual intervention.
Recent improvements resolved edge cases that occasionally delayed the availability of certain booking images. These refinements have increased consistency and reliability across the entire Williamson County dataset.
Williamson County records are now:
- Stable
- Consistently published
- Fully aligned with platform standards
🧪 Data Quality Improvements
While implementing the “No Mugshot Available” category, an additional benefit emerged: it helped identify records that required reprocessing due to temporary data availability issues.
As a result, several records were successfully updated with newly available booking images, improving overall dataset accuracy and reducing false “no mugshot” cases.
This process improved data quality across Williamson County without impacting publishing stability.
🚔 Travis County (APD)
Travis County arrest records continue to be published consistently as new public booking information becomes available.
TexArrest maintains close alignment with Travis County’s publicly accessible records, ensuring timely and accurate publication.
📍 Collin County
Collin County records are also publishing reliably through established workflows.
- Arrest records published consistently
- Mugshots processed where publicly available
- No ongoing manual intervention required
⚡ TexBot — Final Integration Phase
Development of TexBot is nearing completion.
TexBot serves as an internal orchestration layer that supports:
- Identification of newly published public records
- Coordinated publishing workflows across counties
- Reduced manual oversight
- Improved consistency and reliability
TexBot is designed to support TexArrest’s mission of making publicly available arrest information easier to access, understand, and review.
⚠️ Registered Sex Offender Data — Legal Review
TexArrest has evaluated whether to include Texas registered sex offender data. Although portions of this information are publicly available, Texas law applies additional restrictions to how registry data may be redistributed and presented.
These rules differ significantly from those governing standard arrest and booking records and carry increased compliance and liability considerations.
For that reason, TexArrest will not publish registry data unless it can be done lawfully, responsibly, and without risk of misrepresentation.
Evaluation of compliant approaches is ongoing.
