The Texas Jail Roster for Limestone County includes arrest records, mugshots when available, charges filed, facility information, offense date, bond amount and type, disposition, booking number, release date, issuing authority, aliases, date of birth, and a physical description. That is a solid level of detail for a county this size, and the data is updated regularly as new bookings come in.

Limestone County Sheriff's Office Records

The Limestone County Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for the county and the custodian of all booking and arrest records from the county jail. The jail is located at 912 North Tyus Street in Groesbeck. All written public information requests should go to this address.

Call (254) 729-3278 for basic custody information during business hours. This is the main jail line. For full booking records, incident reports, or other documents, send a written request by mail or bring it in person. The office has 10 business days under the Texas Public Information Act to respond. If fees are involved, they notify you before pulling the records.

Open records requests do not require you to explain why you need the records. Just describe what you are looking for clearly. If a record is withheld for any reason, the sheriff's office is required by law to tell you which exemption they are using or to seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General.

What Limestone County Booking Records Contain

A booking record is created every time someone is arrested and processed into the Limestone County Jail. That record becomes public under the Texas Public Information Act. Limestone County booking releases typically include the person's full name, booking number, date of birth, aliases, physical description, the charges filed, offense date, bond amount and type, arresting agency, and intake date and time.

Release information gets added once the person leaves custody. The disposition field notes how the case was handled. Some records show holds from other agencies, such as immigration detainers or warrants from other counties. Bond type and issuing authority help clarify the legal basis for release or continued detention.

Not all records are public. Juvenile arrest records, sealed court orders, records from ongoing investigations, and medical information are among the categories that may be withheld. If a request is denied, the sheriff's office is required to cite the specific exemption under state law.

A booking record does not mean the person was convicted of anything. It documents the arrest only. Cases go through the court system separately, and charges may be reduced, dismissed, or result in acquittal. Do not use a booking record as the only basis for conclusions about guilt.

Texas Public Information Act and Booking Records

Booking and arrest records in Texas are public under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. This law gives anyone the right to request records from the Limestone County Sheriff's Office without providing a reason. The office must respond within 10 business days of receiving a written request.

Requests can be submitted by mail, email, fax, or in person. Basic custody status is usually available by phone for free. If there are copying fees, the office notifies you before processing. The first 10 pages of a response are typically free, and extra pages cost $0.10 each.

Court records related to Limestone County arrests are separate from jail booking records. Those are kept by the Limestone County District Clerk, not the Sheriff's Office. If you need case filings, judgments, or sentencing records, contact the clerk directly.
