As TexArrest moves deeper into 2026, daily operations are stable, county coverage continues to expand, and internal architecture is evolving to support cleaner data presentation and future growth.
🚔 Hays County & Tarrant County — Live and Updating Regularly
Hays County and Tarrant County are now fully live on TexArrest and included in the platform’s regular update rotation.
Arrest and booking records from both counties are being indexed alongside existing jurisdictions, expanding coverage across Central and North Texas.
With multiple jail system implementations now supported, TexArrest continues to strengthen its ability to adapt to different county publishing formats while maintaining consistency for users.
🧠 Charge Explainer — Architecture Shift in Progress
Work is underway to improve how charge information is processed and presented across TexArrest.
Instead of relying heavily on WordPress-side cleanup and formatting, charge explanation logic is being revisited at the application level.
This shift allows the platform to:
- Produce cleaner, more readable charge labels before they reach the website
- Reduce the need for aggressive sanitization after publishing
- Present more consistent explanations across counties
- Improve overall performance and stability on the front end
The goal is a friendlier, easier-to-understand experience for visitors, without altering the original public record text.
📱 Laying Groundwork for Mobile & Future Features
Centralizing charge handling logic at the application layer also prepares TexArrest for future expansion.
- Consistent behavior across web and mobile platforms
- Simpler integration for upcoming iOS and Android apps
- Easier expansion of charge explanations and related educational content
- More flexibility for future enhancements without reworking WordPress logic
This approach ensures TexArrest can continue scaling without sacrificing clarity or reliability.
🚀 What’s Next
- Continue daily record updates across supported counties
- Refine Charge Explainer output for cleaner user-facing data
- Monitor stability across newly added counties
- Expand county coverage using the improved processing model
- Advance mobile application development in parallel
TexArrest remains focused on making public arrest information easier to understand, easier to access, and consistently presented across Texas.
📘 Community Feedback, Education, and Transparency
As TexArrest’s visibility has grown, we’ve also received increased feedback — including frustration and pushback — from individuals whose arrest records appear on the site.
That response is understandable. Being featured on a public arrest record platform can be stressful, confusing, and emotionally charged — especially when people are unsure what the information means, what their options are, or what comes next.
To address this, TexArrest launched a dedicated Resources section.
This page exists to help educate and inform people featured on the site — not just visitors browsing records.
- Explains what an arrest record represents (and what it does not)
- Clarifies the difference between arrests, charges, and convictions
- Outlines lawful options such as expunctions, sealing, and record review
- Provides guidance without pressure, upsells, or removal fees
The goal is transparency, not punishment — and access to information, not exploitation.
TexArrest believes that open access to accurate public records supports a safer, more informed community. Transparency creates accountability, reduces misinformation, and allows the public to understand what is actually happening — without distortion.
This approach also helps disrupt an industry built around fear-based monetization.
Many third-party sites rely on a “pay-to-remove” model, charging individuals large fees to suppress information that often remains publicly available elsewhere. When a transparent, free, and lawful record exists on TexArrest, there is no incentive to pay a separate site to hide information that cannot truly be erased.
By keeping public arrest data accessible, accurate, and free — and by providing education instead of pressure — TexArrest aims to reduce the influence of parasitic removal schemes while promoting clarity and accountability.
The Resources page will continue to expand as new questions, concerns, and educational needs surface.
More updates coming soon.
