· shares below are over the Texas arrest records we index; approximate, not an official figure
Texas arrests by charge type: the statewide booking picture. About 1,051,000 records across Texas, read as a whole; approximate, not an official figure.
Among the Texas arrest records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is public order, trespass and property damage (20%), followed by drug possession (17%) and DUI/DWI (12%). A record can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%. Across all Texas criminal records on our index, the most common category is assault, battery and threats (16%).
How recent. About 8% of the records show activity in the last 12 months, among the 72% that carry a date.
Every figure is a share of the records we index for Texas, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The county pages carry the same picture for each county where enough records exist; criminal charge types explains the categories.
Texas warrant search and arrest record outcomes.
Texas publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it alongside the county bookings. Texas's statewide court source is in the search too, so an arrest result can be read next to how the case ended.
An arrest is not a conviction. The guide to arrest records explains the three records a case leaves behind, and the warrant search what a published warrant does and does not say.
Beyond Texas arrest records: jail rosters and court records by county. The same counties, the other two questions.
Texas background check: search arrest records by name.
- Type a first and last name, and add an age or date of birth so the right person rises to the top.

Texas arrest records FAQ
How do I look up Texas arrest records by county?
Pick the county below and search the name. Each county page reaches that county's jail bookings, Texas's statewide warrant system and Texas's statewide court source, and labels each result by record type. 23 counties have a page.
Does Texas publish a statewide warrant list?
Yes. Texas publishes a statewide warrant system and a name search here includes it. Not every local warrant reaches it, so to be certain, ask the county sheriff's office or the District Clerk (felonies) or County Clerk (misdemeanors).
Is an arrest in Texas a conviction?
No. An arrest record says a person was booked on a date on the charges recorded at booking. Whether a charge was filed, reduced, dismissed or ended in a conviction is decided in the District Court or the County Court at Law, and only the court record shows that.
Does OffenderSearch show Texas mugshots?
No. The county pages show no booking photos and OffenderSearch never charges to remove one. Where a county publishes a photo it is on the sheriff's official roster.
Can Texas arrest records be used for hiring or renting?
Not from here. A search on this site is not a consumer report; employers and landlords need an FCRA-regulated report with the person's written consent, and many states limit how an arrest without a conviction may be used.
