The inmate search at klebergcountyarrests.org provides instructions for navigating the Sheriff's roster. Booking records available through the portal include the arrestee's personal information, physical description, criminal charges, booking number, and bond amount.

What Kleberg County Booking Records Contain
When someone is arrested and booked at the Kleberg County Jail, a booking record is created. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. Kleberg County booking releases typically include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, criminal charges, booking number, bond amount, arresting agency, and the date and time of intake. Release information is added once the person leaves custody.
The county seat of Kingsville is home to Texas A&M University-Kingsville, which means the Sheriff's Office handles a mix of urban and rural enforcement. Arrests can come from the Sheriff's Office, Kingsville Police Department, or other local agencies. Charges range from Class A misdemeanors to felonies.
Some records are exempt. Juvenile records, active investigation materials, victim information, and sealed court orders are not public. A booking record shows an arrest, not a conviction. Many people booked in Kleberg County are later released on bond, have charges dropped, or are found not guilty.
