1 · Arrest

The booking at Lubbock County Detention Center

Made by the jail when a person is taken into custody in Lubbock County. It records the date and the charges the arresting officer wrote down. This is the arrest record, and it is the whole of what an arrest proves.

2 · Charge

Filed in the District Court

Made by a prosecutor, who decides what to charge, reduces it, or declines to file. A felony goes to the District Court; a misdemeanor to the County Court at Law. The charge filed often differs from the charge at booking.

3 · Outcome

The disposition in the court file

Made by the court and kept by the District Clerk (felonies) or County Clerk (misdemeanors): conviction, dismissal, acquittal or diversion. Only this record speaks to guilt. Texas court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.

An arrest record attaches to a person at the moment of accusation and often never detaches, including when the accusation went nowhere. Reading a Lubbock County booking as a conviction is the most common misreading of this data, and it follows real people around. The guide to arrest records covers the three claims in full; this page applies them to Lubbock County.

By the numbers

Lubbock County, TX arrest records by charge type. About 3,400 records read as a whole, never one by one; approximate, not an official figure.

91%
of the records state at least one charge

Charge categories on Lubbock County arrest records91% state a charge
  • Public order, trespass and property damage17%

  • Probation/parole violations and failure to appear8%
  • Theft, larceny and stolen property7%
  • DUI / DWI6%
  • Domestic violence5%
  • Weapons offenses5%
  • Drug possession5%

Among the Lubbock County arrest records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is public order, trespass and property damage (17%), followed by assault, battery and threats (16%) and probation/parole violations and failure to appear (8%). An arrest can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%, and a charge at booking is not the charge that was filed. The categories are our grouping of the charge text each source publishes; criminal charge types explains each one.

Photos. About 37% of the Lubbock County booking records we index carry a photo on the official roster. This page shows none.

How recent. About 88% of the records show activity in the last 12 months, among the 37% that carry a date, on the booking or offense date the source publishes.

Every figure is a share of the records we index for Lubbock County, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The Texas criminal records page carries the statewide picture.

Lubbock County warrants: warrant search for Lubbock County.

Texas publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it, so a warrant entered there for someone in Lubbock County shows with the person’s other records. A warrant is a different claim from an arrest: it says a court has ordered that a person be brought in, not that they were.

Not every local warrant reaches a published list. A search that finds nothing is not proof that no warrant exists; to be certain, ask the Lubbock County sheriff’s office or the District Clerk (felonies) or County Clerk (misdemeanors). The warrant search page explains what a published warrant does and does not say.

Lubbock County mugshots: booking photos in the arrest records.

A booking photo is taken at the Lubbock County Detention Center when someone is booked. Where Lubbock County publishes it, it appears on the official roster at lubbocksheriff.com, usually only while the person is held. About 37% of the Lubbock County booking records we index carry one (approximate, not an official figure). This page shows no photographs, and a search result here does not either.

OffenderSearch never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, no law requires anyone to pay a website to take one down, and several states restrict sites that charge for it.

Arrests in Lubbock County this week: what the records can and cannot tell you.

People search for “Lubbock County arrests this week” expecting a list. There is no list here, by rule: this site never publishes a running list of names, and a booking is not news about a person. What a search does give you is the records we index for one person, each with its booking date, so the question “was this person arrested recently?” has an answer when the jail published it.

Counts of how many people were booked in Lubbock County in a given week are not stated on this page. What we hold is a set of records as sources publish them, which is approximate and not an official tally; the sheriff’s office is the only source of an official count.

An arrest record is a public record, but it is not a conviction. It says a person was taken into custody on a date on the charges written down at booking.
