Search Leander Booking Reports
Leander booking reports and arrest records come from the Leander Police Department and county agencies in Williamson and Travis counties. Leander sits primarily in Williamson County north of Austin, though a small portion of the city extends into Travis County. The Leander PD processes city arrests, and the Williamson County Jail in Georgetown handles most longer-term detention. This page covers how to find Leander booking records, how to submit records requests, and what data the reports contain.
Leander Overview
Leander Police Department
The Leander Police Department is at 705 E Cypresswood Dr, Leander, TX 78641. The main number is (512) 528-2800. To request records, you can visit the records division in person at that address, submit a written request by mail, or fax a completed request form to (512) 528-2841. Pick up the request form in person if you need it, or call the records division to ask about the current process. The department's website at leandertx.gov has links to police department services and additional contact information.
Leander has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas over the past two decades. The rapid growth means the police department handles more calls and arrests than in earlier years. The city maintains a short-term holding facility, and arrestees who don't post bond quickly transfer to the Williamson County Jail at 306 W 4th St in Georgetown. For arrests in the small Travis County portion of Leander, those cases may go to Travis County systems instead. When in doubt, check both county systems.

Williamson and Travis County Records
The Williamson County Jail is at 306 W 4th St, Georgetown, TX 78626. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and handles inmate records for the county. You can reach the records division at (512) 943-1300, option 5. Their online Records Inquiry system is available for public searches and shows current inmate status, charges, and bond information. For Leander arrests that result in county-level detention, the Williamson County inmate inquiry is where you'll find the most current custody data.
The Travis County Sheriff's Office at (512) 854-9770 handles records for the small portion of Leander inside Travis County. That is a much smaller share of Leander arrests, but worth checking if the Williamson County search turns up nothing. Court records from Leander cases are filed in the appropriate county court. The statewide re:SearchTX portal covers both Williamson and Travis county courts, so you can search by name or cause number without knowing which specific court handled the case.
Third-party sites including RecentlyBooked.com and the informational site LeanderJailArrests.org aggregate booking data from public sources. These can be useful for a quick look, but for official records always request directly from the Leander PD or the appropriate county Sheriff's Office.
Note: Because Leander spans two counties, always confirm which county handled the detention before submitting a formal records request to avoid delays.
Requesting Leander Arrest Records
Texas gives the public broad access to booking reports and arrest records under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. The Leander Police Department and both county Sheriff's Offices must respond to records requests within 10 business days. You don't need to provide a reason. If the records involve possible exemptions, the agency can seek an Attorney General opinion, which can extend the timeline.
You can submit a request to Leander PD in person at 705 E Cypresswood Dr, by mail to the same address, or by fax to (512) 528-2841. For Williamson County Jail records, call (512) 943-1300, option 5, and ask about the records request process. Travis County Sheriff records requests go to that office at (512) 854-9770. Include the full name, approximate arrest date, and any case numbers. Specifying plain or certified copies helps the agency give you an accurate cost estimate upfront.
Copy fees run 10 cents per page for standard paper copies under the Texas Administrative Code. If your request will cost more than $40, the agency must notify you before proceeding. You can narrow the request or agree to pay. Certification costs extra. Basic inmate information from the Williamson County Records Inquiry is free online.
What Leander Booking Reports Include
Leander booking reports follow the Texas standard format used by agencies statewide. These records are created at the time of arrest and are public documents. A booking report is not removed if charges are later dropped or if the person is found not guilty. It captures what was known at the moment of booking.
The Williamson County booking system is one of the more detailed in the Austin metro area. A full booking report from Leander or Williamson County typically includes the person's full legal name and any aliases, date of birth and demographic data, physical description, a booking photograph, fingerprint classification if taken, charges filed at time of arrest, case or incident number, custody status, bond amount, and prior arrest history within the county. The Travis County system captures similar fields for arrests in that portion of the city. All of this data is retained under Texas records rules, with felony arrest records kept for 75 years and misdemeanor records for 20 years.
