Booking Records and Bee County Jail Mugshots

Bee County booking records are public under the Texas Public Information Act (Government Code Chapter 552). This law gives any person the right to request most government records. The agency must respond within 10 business days of receiving the request. Some records may be withheld, including those related to ongoing investigations or juvenile arrests.

A typical Bee County booking record includes the subject's full name, date of birth, physical description, booking number, charges, bond amount, and mugshot. The record also includes the name of the arresting agency and the arrest date. If the subject has been released, the record will show how and when they were let out.

Bee County has a notable presence of state correctional facilities nearby. People doing state time are tracked by TDCJ rather than the county jail. If you are looking for someone in a state prison or on parole, use the TDCJ Offender Search rather than the county roster.

Note: Juvenile arrest records are generally sealed under Texas Family Code and are not available through standard public information requests.

Requesting Records from the Bee County Jail

Removing a Bee County Arrest Record

Bee County arrest records remain on file until a court orders them expunged or sealed. Texas law allows expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. You may qualify if charges were dismissed, you were acquitted, or the case did not result in a conviction. You must petition the district court in the county of arrest to begin.

If the petition is granted, all agencies holding that record, including the Sheriff's Office and the jail, must destroy their copies. This includes booking photos. After a successful expunction, you can say the arrest did not happen in most situations. An order of nondisclosure is a different option that seals records without destroying them. Talk to an attorney in Beeville to find out which option fits your case.
