| Inmate Search | Online Jail Docket |
Use the online jail docket for basic inmate searches. For full booking records, incident reports, or certified copies, submit a written request to the Sheriff's Department. Cite the Texas Public Information Act and include the person's full name, date of birth, and the records you need. The department has 10 business days to respond.
Court records for Harrison County cases are maintained by the County Clerk and District Clerk at the Harrison County Courthouse. Those offices handle filings, judgments, and case histories separate from the jail's booking records.
Note: The online inmate search only reflects inmates at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. Inmates may be held at another facility in some circumstances.
What Harrison County Booking Records Contain
When someone is booked into either Harrison County jail facility, a record is created that is public under Texas law. Harrison County booking releases include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, booking number, charges, bond amount, arresting agency, intake date and time, and release date when applicable.
Exemptions from public disclosure include records tied to active criminal investigations, juvenile records, medical files, and child abuse case records. If any portion of a records request falls under these exemptions, the Sheriff's Department may seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General before deciding what to release.
Booking records do not indicate guilt. Harrison County booking data reflects only that a person was arrested and detained at that point in time. Final case outcomes are tracked through the courts, not the sheriff's office.
