Government & Court Resources


TexArrest publishes arrest and booking information obtained from publicly available government sources. For official case status, court dispositions, and authoritative records, individuals should consult the appropriate government agencies and court systems directly.

The resources below provide access to official criminal justice information maintained by Texas courts, law enforcement agencies, and state entities.

Texas Judicial & Court Records

Texas courts maintain official records related to criminal cases, including filings, dispositions, and orders. Court systems vary by county and court level.

  • Texas Judicial Branch – case search and court information
  • County district and county clerk offices
  • Municipal and justice courts
  • Appellate and district court systems

Court records are the authoritative source for determining case outcomes, dismissals, convictions, and court-issued orders.

County Jail & Sheriff Databases

Most Texas counties operate online jail or inmate search systems that provide booking and custody information. These systems are the primary sources from which arrest records originate.

  • County sheriff inmate search portals
  • County jail booking logs
  • Law enforcement public access systems

Booking information displayed in these systems reflects custody events and may change as individuals are released, transferred, or processed.

Texas Department of Public Safety

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) maintains certain criminal history records and provides guidance regarding criminal background information.

DPS resources may be relevant for understanding criminal history summaries, eligibility for expunction or sealing, and official background checks.

Expunction and Nondisclosure Information

Eligibility for expunction or orders of nondisclosure is determined by statute and court authority. Official information regarding these processes is available through Texas courts and legal resources.

  • District court clerks
  • County clerk offices
  • Texas statutes and judicial guidance

TexArrest does not determine eligibility for expunction or sealing and does not provide legal advice regarding these processes.

Why Official Sources Matter

TexArrest aggregates publicly available arrest records for informational purposes. Government agencies and courts are the authoritative sources for:

  • Current custody status
  • Case dispositions and outcomes
  • Court-issued orders
  • Eligibility for expunction or record sealing

When questions arise regarding the status or outcome of a criminal case, individuals should consult the appropriate government source directly.
