What Is in a Glasscock County Booking Record

A typical Glasscock County booking record includes the person's full name and date of birth, the date and time of the arrest, the charges filed at booking, the bond amount if set by a magistrate, the name of the arresting agency, a booking number, and a basic physical description.
