What Upshur County Booking Records Contain

When someone is arrested and booked into the Upshur County Jail, a booking record is created. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. Booking releases from Upshur County typically include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description including mugshot, charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time.

A booking record is created at the time of arrest under Texas law. It is separate from any court finding. Upshur County booking releases do not indicate guilt.
