What Nacogdoches County Booking Records Include

Booking records at the Nacogdoches County Jail follow the standard format used by most Texas county jails. Each record captures key details about the arrest and the person booked. The records are public under the Texas Public Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Government Code.

A typical Nacogdoches County jail booking record includes the full name and any known aliases, date of birth, physical description, booking date and time, booking number, charges filed, arresting agency, bond amount, and release date if the person has been let out. Mugshots are part of the booking record when captured at intake. The charges listed reflect what the person was booked on, not necessarily what they were later convicted of.

Records from juveniles are handled differently. Under Texas Family Code Chapter 58, most juvenile arrest records are confidential. Adult records are generally open to the public. Sealed or expunged records are removed from public access per Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55.
