Midland County Booking Photos and Records
Every person booked into the Midland County Detention Center has a record created on arrival. That record includes the person's full legal name, date of birth, physical description, charges, bond amount, and a booking photograph. These records are maintained by the Sheriff's Office Records Division.
Under Texas Government Code Chapter 552, most booking records are public. However, Midland County restricts online access to mugshots. You must request them through the formal Public Information Request process. The agency has 10 business days to respond to your written request.
Some records may be withheld under state law. Juvenile arrests are confidential. Records connected to active investigations may be temporarily restricted. Cases that were later expunged by a court order will not be released. Outside these exceptions, the records are public and you have a right to see them.
How to Request Midland County Jail Records
Send a written Public Information Request to the Midland County Sheriff's Office at 400 S. Main St., Midland, TX 79701, or call (432) 688-4600 to ask about email submission. Include the subject's full name, date of birth, and approximate arrest date. Be specific about what you need, such as a booking photo, arrest report, or charge sheet.
The Sheriff's Office has 10 business days to respond. If they cannot fulfill the request in that window, they must notify you in writing and give a new completion date. If fees apply, they must get your approval before proceeding when the estimated cost exceeds a set threshold under Texas law.
Midland is a larger county with a dedicated Records Division, so responses tend to be timely. Email requests are often the fastest option. If you have trouble getting a response, contact the Texas Attorney General's Open Records Division for help at no cost to you.

Removing an Arrest Record in Midland County
If your Midland County arrest was dismissed, resulted in a not-guilty verdict, or meets other qualifying criteria, you may be able to have the record expunged. Expunction deletes the record from all law enforcement databases. You file a petition in the district court in Midland.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 sets out who qualifies for expunction and the steps involved. Midland County has multiple district courts. An attorney here can review your case and help you determine which court handles your petition and whether your case qualifies.
For people who completed deferred adjudication, an Order of Nondisclosure is a separate remedy. It does not destroy the record but seals it from most public access. Both options are worth exploring if an old arrest is showing up on background checks or public record sites.
