Release date is added once the person leaves custody.
Not all records are open to the public. Active criminal investigation files, juvenile offender records, medical records, and certain victim data are typically withheld. If a request involves those categories, the Sheriff's Office may seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General before deciding whether to release the information.
