What Tom Green County Booking Records Contain
When someone is arrested and booked into the Tom Green County Detention Center, a booking record is created. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. Booking releases from Tom Green County 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. These include records tied to active criminal investigations, juvenile records, medical files, and certain victim information. If your request falls into one of those categories, the Sheriff's Office may withhold the records or seek guidance from the Texas Attorney General.
Per Texas law, a booking record is created at the time of arrest, not at the time of conviction. Tom Green County booking releases do not indicate guilt or any finding by a court.
