What Ochiltree County Booking Records Contain
Every time someone is arrested and processed at the Ochiltree County Jail, a booking record is created. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. A standard Ochiltree County booking release includes the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and the date and time they were brought in. Once the person is released, that information is added to the record too.
Certain records are not public. If a record is tied to an active investigation, it may be withheld until the case closes. Juvenile records are confidential. Medical records and child abuse investigation files are exempt from disclosure. If a request touches those areas, the Sheriff's Office may withhold information or ask the Texas Attorney General for a ruling before responding.
A booking record is not proof of guilt. It only shows that a person was taken into custody. Many people who appear in Ochiltree County booking releases are never charged, or have charges dismissed. Bond amounts in booking records reflect the amount set at intake and may change after a judge reviews the case.
