What Midland County Booking Reports Include

Each time someone is booked into the Midland County Central Detention Center, a booking record is created. These records are public under Texas law and document the key details of the arrest.

Midland County booking reports include the arrested person's full name and date of birth, the date and time of booking, charges filed at arrest, bond amount if set, the arresting agency, a booking number, a physical description, and a mugshot in most cases. The online inmate search shows much of this data in real time. The Sheriff's Office may also publish periodic media arrest summaries with recent booking information. Some records may be withheld if cases are active or if other legal exceptions apply under Texas law. Juvenile records are sealed and not public.

For a complete criminal history report across all Texas counties, contact the Texas DPS Crime Records Division. That is a statewide resource and goes well beyond what a single county's booking records show.
