Find College Station Booking Records

College Station booking releases are processed at the Brazos County Jail, which handles all bookings from College Station Police and Texas A&M University Police arrests. These booking records become public once processed and can be searched online or by contacting the facility. This page covers how to find College Station booking releases, what the Brazos County online system shows, how to reach the jail directly, and what your rights are under Texas public information law.

Which Jail Handles College Station Arrests

College Station does not operate its own county jail. People arrested in College Station are booked into the Brazos County Jail, which is run by the Brazos County Sheriff's Office and located at 4001 E. 29th St. in Bryan, just north of College Station. The facility serves the entire Bryan-College Station metro area and all of Brazos County.

College Station is home to Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the country. Multiple law enforcement agencies operate in the city. College Station PD handles city calls, while Texas A&M University Police Department has authority on campus and adjacent areas. The Brazos County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated parts of the county. All arrests by these agencies at the county level result in bookings at the Brazos County Jail.

How to Search College Station Booking Releases Online

The Brazos County Sheriff's Office provides a public jail roster on its website. You can search by name for anyone currently in custody at the Brazos County Jail. The roster shows booking dates, charges, and bond information. It is updated regularly as new arrests are processed.

Because both Bryan and College Station feed into the same jail system, a search of the Brazos County roster will show bookings from both cities. If you are searching for someone and are unsure of the exact arrest location, searching by name in the county system will cover both areas.

Court records tied to College Station arrests can be found through reSearchTX. This portal covers Brazos County District Courts and county courts at law. It is free and available without registration.

For cases involving Texas A&M students or campus arrests, the university's Police Department website may have additional resources. Campus arrests that result in county charges will still appear in the Brazos County jail system once the person is transferred there for booking.

College Station Police Department

The College Station Police Department provides law enforcement for the city. After arrests made by CSPD officers, detainees are transported to the Brazos County Jail for booking. College Station PD does not operate its own jail for extended detention.

College Station PD and Bryan PD are separate agencies serving adjacent cities. They do not share records systems, but both send arrestees to the same county jail, so all bookings from both cities appear in the Brazos County jail roster.

For copies of police reports from College Station PD incidents, contact the department's Records Division directly. Police reports are kept by the originating police department, separate from the booking records at the county jail.

What College Station Booking Records Contain

When someone is arrested in College Station and booked into the Brazos County Jail, a booking record is created. These records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. The booking record contains the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, arresting agency, intake date and time, bond amounts, and release date when applicable.

For campus arrests, the arresting agency listed on the booking record will be Texas A&M University Police Department if that agency made the arrest. For city arrests, it will show College Station Police Department. This is useful if you need to know which agency to contact for additional information or a police report.

A booking record reflects the status of the case at the time of arrest. Charges can be added, dropped, or changed as the case moves through the court system. The booking record itself is not updated with court outcomes, so check reSearchTX for case disposition information.
