The booking photo taken at intake is part of this record and is generally available to the public.

Records for current inmates appear in the online search system and are updated regularly. Historical records can be requested through the Sheriff's Office or the County Clerk depending on what type of record you need.

Note: Records involving ongoing investigations or sensitive cases may have limited availability until the matter is resolved.

Removing an Arrest Record in Gregg County

A Gregg County arrest record stays on file until a court orders it removed. Texas law provides a path for expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. You may be eligible if charges were never filed, were dismissed, or if you were acquitted at trial. Filing a petition with the district court in Gregg County begins the process.

If the court grants the petition, all agencies that hold records of that arrest must destroy them. The Sheriff's Office, the jail division, and both the South and North Jail locations would all be required to purge those records, including any booking photos on file. After expunction, the arrest legally did not occur. An attorney in Longview can review your case and tell you if you qualify and what the filing costs look like.
