Grand Prairie Booking Releases
Grand Prairie booking releases may involve two county systems since the city spans both Dallas and Tarrant counties. Most bookings go through the Dallas County Jail, while arrests in the Tarrant County portion may go to the Tarrant County facility. This page covers how to search Grand Prairie booking releases, which county system to check first, how to reach each jail, what the records contain, and how Texas law gives you the right to access those booking records.
Grand Prairie Overview
Which Jail Handles Grand Prairie Bookings
The Grand Prairie Police Department Detention Center at 1525 Arkansas Lane, Grand Prairie, TX 75051 is the initial holding facility for city arrests. Phone: (972) 237-8951 or (972) 237-8947. Inmate search at this facility is by phone only. Visitation is Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Inmates are typically transferred to the county jail within 24 to 72 hours.
Most of Grand Prairie falls in Dallas County, so the Dallas County Jail at Lew Sterrett Justice Center is the primary county-level facility. Some areas of Grand Prairie fall in Tarrant County, in which case inmates go to the Tarrant County jail system in Fort Worth. If you cannot find someone at the city detention center, check both county jail lookups.

Grand Prairie Police Department Arrest Records

What Grand Prairie Booking Records Contain
Booking records from the Grand Prairie city facility and both county jails are public under the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 552). The Grand Prairie city facility provides inmate information by phone only. Dallas County records include mugshot, physical description, charges, booking number, bond information, and facility location. Tarrant County records show CID, name, race, sex, custody status, booking information, and hold details.
Because Grand Prairie spans two counties, it is worth checking both county systems if a phone search of the city facility does not produce a result. Most arrests processed through the city facility are transferred to Lew Sterrett (Dallas County) within 24 to 72 hours. An arrest record does not indicate guilt.
