Booking Records and Mugshot Access

Hardeman County booking records include the standard set of information found in Texas county jail records: full name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, bond amount, booking date, and a front-facing mugshot. These are public records under the Texas Public Information Act. Anyone may request them from the sheriff's office.

The county had 18 total criminal complaints in one recent year, with 13 misdemeanors and 5 felonies. Larceny theft was the top property crime with 10 reported cases. Aggravated assault accounted for 5 cases. These numbers reflect a relatively low-crime rural county where each arrest tends to involve specific circumstances rather than high-volume repeat offenders.
