What Stonewall County Booking Records Contain
When someone is arrested and booked into the Stonewall County Jail, a booking record is created and becomes public under the Texas Public Information Act. These records include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, the charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time. Release information is added once the person leaves custody.
Booking records may also include aliases, booking numbers, and prior arrests in the county. The amount of detail depends on what the sheriff's office entered at the time of booking and what is approved for public release under Texas state law.
Records that are not public include those tied to active investigations, juvenile offenders, medical records, and jail security information. An arrest is not a conviction. Charges listed in a booking record may later be changed, dismissed, or result in acquittal in court.
The standard Texas jail booking process includes identity verification, fingerprinting, medical screening, property inventory, and a mugshot. Once booking is complete, the record is available through the sheriff's office. Booking can take anywhere from one to several hours depending on the circumstances.
