For written records, you can submit a formal request under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552.

What Lamb County Booking Reports Contain
A booking report is created each time someone is processed into the Lamb County Jail. It captures the basic facts of the arrest: who was booked, when, and what charges were filed. These records are public under Texas law and can be requested by anyone, subject to limited exceptions.
Lamb County booking records typically include the following details:
- Full name and date of birth
- Date and time of arrest
- Charges at time of booking
- Bond amount if set
- Arresting agency
- Booking number
- Physical description and booking photo
Some information may be withheld if a case is under active investigation or involves a juvenile. Records tied to dismissed charges or expunged cases are also handled differently. If you need certified copies for legal use, the Sheriff's Office can tell you the current process and fees. The Texas DPS Crime Records Division handles full criminal history requests, which are separate from local booking reports.
Lamb County Jail
The Lamb County Jail in Littlefield is run by the Sheriff's Office. It houses individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting a bond hearing, trial, or transfer. People booked into the jail go through a standard intake process, which includes identification checks and recording of personal property.
After intake, inmates are housed based on their charges and security classification. Bond is set by the court, and those who post bond are released. Some individuals may be transferred to other facilities depending on their charges or housing needs. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards sets the rules that all county jails in Texas, including Lamb County, must follow. This includes standards for inmate care, staffing, and facility conditions.
If you need to send money to an inmate or arrange a visit, contact the Lamb County Jail directly. Policies on visitation and deposits can change, so it is a good idea to call before making plans to visit. The Sheriff's Office can point you to current rules on both.
Public Records Requests in Lamb County
Anyone can request Lamb County booking and arrest records under the Texas Public Information Act. This law applies to all Texas government agencies, including sheriff's offices. The act is found in Government Code Chapter 552 and gives the public the right to access most arrest records held by public agencies.
To make a request, send a written letter to the Lamb County Sheriff's Office in Littlefield. Include the full name of the person you are searching for, an approximate date range, and your contact information. You can also go in person during business hours. Once your request is received, the office has 10 business days to respond with the records, a timeline for larger requests, or an explanation if records are being withheld.
If records are withheld, the office must identify a specific legal exception under state law. Standard copy fees apply and are set by the state. If you think a denial was not proper, you can contact the Texas DPS Crime Records Division or the Texas Office of the Attorney General for guidance on next steps.
