Presidio County Sheriff's Office Records Department

The Presidio County Sheriff's Office is the primary custodian of arrest and booking records for the county. The sheriff's office, jail, and county clerk are all at 320 N Highland Ave in Marfa. Written records requests under the Texas Public Information Act go to the sheriff's records staff. The county also has a Financial Transparency section on its website with auditor reports and budget documents.

Call (432) 729-4308 to ask if someone is in custody or to get basic booking information. For full records or document copies, submit a written request to the sheriff's records department. Requests can be made in person, by mail, or by email if the office accepts electronic submissions. Presidio County is a small county with limited staffing, so allow the full 10-business-day period for responses to written requests.

What Presidio County Booking Records Contain

Every time someone is arrested and processed at the Presidio County Jail, the sheriff's office creates a booking record. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. A standard Presidio County booking release includes the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, all charges, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time. Release details are added once the person leaves custody.

Not all records are public. Records tied to active criminal investigations may be withheld. Juvenile records are confidential. Medical records and child abuse investigation files are exempt. If a request touches those areas, the Sheriff's Office may withhold information or seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General before responding.

Presidio County's border location means the sheriff's office works alongside U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies. Some arrests in the county may involve federal charges and result in transfer to federal detention rather than the county jail. If you can't find someone in the county jail, check with the U.S. Marshal's Service or the Bureau of Prisons federal inmate locator at bop.gov.

A booking record is not a conviction. It shows that a person was taken into custody at a specific time. Bond amounts set at booking may change after a court hearing. For case status, contact the Presidio County District Clerk at the Marfa courthouse.
