What Hardeman County Booking Records Contain
Each time someone is arrested and processed into the Hardeman County Jail, a booking record is created. Under Texas law, that record is public. Hardeman County booking releases typically include the full name, date of birth, physical description, charges, bond amount, arresting agency, intake date and time, and release date once the person is no longer in custody.
Some records are exempt from public release. These include records from active criminal investigations, juvenile records, medical information, and files related to child abuse cases. If a portion of your request falls under one of these exemptions, the Sheriff's Office may withhold that part or ask the Texas Attorney General for guidance.
A booking record does not mean the person was found guilty. It reflects that an arrest was made and the person was processed into the jail at that point in time. Court outcomes are tracked by the District Clerk, not the Sheriff's Office.
