Richardson Booking Reports Database
Richardson booking reports are created by the Richardson Police Department when someone is arrested in the city. The department operates its own municipal jail and posts a list of current jail inmates on its website. People transferred to county custody go to the Dallas County Jail. You can search current inmate status at both the city and county level, and you can request full booking records, offense reports, and related documents through the Richardson Police Department Records Section at 200 N Greenville Ave.

How to Search Richardson Arrest Records
The Richardson Police Department posts a current jail inmates list on its website. This is one of the more direct ways to check on a recent arrest in the city. The list is updated regularly and shows names, charges, and booking dates for people currently held at the city jail. For someone already transferred to the county, you check the Dallas County Jail inmate search portal instead.
For full records including detailed offense reports and complete booking documentation, you file an Open Records Request with the Richardson Police Department. The department has an online submission system for these requests, or you can submit in person at the Records Section. Provide the person's full name and the approximate date of the arrest when possible. Turnaround time is ten business days under Texas law.
Fees at Richardson PD include $0.10 per page for offense and arrest reports. Accident reports cost $6.00. Certified copies of any document carry a $2.00 additional fee. If you don't know the case number, you can still request records by name and date, but the department may charge a $5.00 search fee when no offense or call number is provided.
Third-party aggregators like RecentlyBooked.com and JailBase.com also publish Dallas County booking data. Richardson arrests that flow through the county system may appear on these sites, though they are not official and may have gaps or delays.
Contents of a Richardson Booking Report
A booking report from a Richardson arrest includes the full legal name and any aliases on record. Date of birth, home address at time of arrest, and physical description are all standard parts of the document. Height, weight, hair color, eye color, and any visible identifying marks are noted. The arresting officer and the date and time of the arrest are recorded.
Charges are listed with the relevant statute or code section. Bond information is set at booking and documented in the file. The booking number links all these details together. If the person was booked at the city jail, Richardson PD holds the primary record. If they were transferred to Dallas County Jail, the full county booking record is maintained by the Dallas County Sheriff. Both records may exist for the same arrest depending on how the case progressed.
Note: Current inmates listed on the Richardson PD website show name, booking date, and charges. Full details require a formal records request.
State-Level Records Resources
The Texas DPS Crime Records Division holds statewide arrest and criminal history data. If you are researching an arrest in Richardson that led to a court case or a criminal conviction, the DPS system may have a record on file. This is the official state-level repository for criminal history information in Texas.
For questions about how jails in Texas must handle records and respond to public requests, the Texas Commission on Jail Standards is the relevant oversight agency. TCJS sets the standards for county jails across the state, including the Dallas County Jail where Richardson transferees are held.
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public the right to request booking reports and arrest records from any state or local agency. If a records request is denied or delayed beyond ten business days, you can file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General's Open Government division.
Online Records Tools for Richardson
Richardson PD uses an online records request system that lets you submit requests without coming in person. The system handles open records requests under the Texas Public Information Act. You can also reach the Records Section by phone at (972) 744-4800 during business hours. The Collin County Judicial Search and Dallas County systems are both relevant depending on where the case ended up after arrest.
Police-to-Citizen portals also provide access to certain public police records. These systems vary by agency. For Richardson specifically, the department's own records request system is the primary path for most public records. Dallas County's online inmate search is the best tool for looking up people currently in county custody after being transferred from Richardson.
