What Coke County Booking Records Contain
Each arrest at the Coke County Jail results in a booking record. These records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. A standard Coke County booking release includes the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, the charges, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time. Once a person leaves custody, the release information is added to the record.
About 60% of the inmates in the Coke County Jail are pretrial detainees. The other 40% are sentenced inmates serving court-ordered terms. The most common charges are misdemeanor drug possession, DUI or DWI, property crimes, and probation violations. The average stay runs about 23 days, with 60% of bookings tied to misdemeanor charges.
Some records cannot be released. Active investigation files, juvenile records, medical records, and child abuse investigation materials are exempt from disclosure. If the Sheriff's Office withholds a record on those grounds, they may seek a Texas Attorney General ruling before making a final decision.
A booking record does not indicate a conviction. Charges may be dropped, reduced, or result in acquittal. The bond amount listed at intake may also change after a court hearing. For current case status, contact the Coke County District Clerk.
