What Crosby County Booking Records Contain
A booking record is created when someone is taken into custody and processed at the Crosby County Jail. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. Crosby County booking releases typically include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time. Release details are added when the person leaves custody.
Certain records are not available to the public. Active criminal investigations, juvenile records, medical information, and some law enforcement intelligence materials can be withheld. If the Sheriff's Office withholds your request or part of it, they may seek an opinion from the Texas Attorney General before releasing or denying access.
A booking record does not equal a conviction. It shows that law enforcement placed a person in custody at a specific time. Charges listed at booking may change or be dropped as the case moves through the courts. For court case records, filings, and judgments, contact the Crosby County District Clerk at the courthouse in Crosbyton.

You can search by last name and first initial, TDCJ number, or state ID. The TDCJ system covers all state prison units across Texas.
For a full criminal history, the Texas DPS Crime Records Division handles name-based searches for $10 and fingerprint-based searches for $15 plus a $10 FAST fee. Results take about 10 business days. The fingerprint search is more thorough and less likely to miss records from other counties or states.
