How to Search Lewisville Booking Records

To find someone arrested in Lewisville, check the Denton County Sheriff's Office inmate roster. The county puts a live inmate list online. You can search by name and see booking dates, charges, and bond amounts. The roster is updated as people enter and leave the jail.

Visit the Denton County Sheriff's website at dentoncounty.gov and follow the inmate search link. If the person has already been released and you need a record of the booking, submit a written public information request to the Sheriff's Office. Texas law requires a response within 10 business days.

What Lewisville Booking Records Contain

A booking record is created at the Denton County Jail each time someone from Lewisville is arrested and brought in. These records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. The standard booking record includes the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, bond amount, arresting agency, and the date and time of booking. Once the person is released, that date is added to the record.

Some records are restricted. Records tied to open investigations, juvenile arrests, medical files, and pending cases may not be released. The Sheriff's Office can deny those requests outright or ask the Texas Attorney General for guidance on whether to release the records.

A booking record is not a conviction. Lewisville booking releases show that someone was arrested and booked, not that they were found guilty of any charge. Texas law keeps these two events separate, and that separation appears in how the records are kept and what they can be used for.

State Resources for Inmate Searches

Texas Public Information Act

Booking and arrest records are public in Texas under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. Anyone can ask for these records from the Denton County Sheriff's Office. The office has 10 business days to respond to a written request. No explanation is needed when you make the request.

Written requests can be submitted by mail, email, or in person. Calling the jail is often faster for simple custody questions. If the request involves fees, the office will tell you before processing. Standard copy fees are low under Texas law.
