Texas Jail and Inmate Resources
State-level tools are helpful when local resources are limited or when a person may have been arrested in more than one county. These tools all cover Texas statewide.
The TDCJ Offender Search is the official database for state prison inmates. The Texas DPS Crime Records Division provides background check records. The VINELink system sends alerts for inmate status changes at no cost. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspects and monitors Lamb County Jail along with all other county jails in the state. You can check inspection reports and population data through their website.
Note: An arrest record stays public in Texas until a court orders it expunged. The record remains even if no charges were filed or the case was dismissed unless an expunction is granted.
Clearing a Lamb County Arrest Record
An arrest record in Lamb County does not go away on its own. Texas law allows expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 in certain situations, such as when charges were dropped, you were found not guilty, or the case was dismissed. You file a petition in the district court in the county where the arrest occurred.
If the court approves the expunction, all agencies with records of that arrest must destroy them. The Sheriff's Office and its booking records are included. After that, you can legally deny the arrest in most situations. An order of nondisclosure is another path that hides records from the public but does not erase them. A local attorney in Littlefield can tell you which option is available for your case.
