What Moore County Booking Records Contain
When someone is booked into the Moore County Jail, a public record is created under the Texas Public Information Act. Booking releases typically include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, the charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and the date and time of intake. Release information is added once the person leaves custody.
Some records are exempt from disclosure. Juvenile records, records tied to active investigations, medical files, and sealed records are not public. The Sheriff's Office can withhold those records or seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General if a request raises questions.
A booking record is not a conviction. It reflects the charges at intake, before any court action. Moore County booking releases do not indicate guilt.
