Texas Counties

Texas has 254 counties, each with its own Sheriff's Office that handles arrests, bookings, and jail operations. When someone is arrested, the county jail logs the 72 hour booking record and holds the person while a magistrate reviews probable cause. The Sheriff's Office in each county maintains booking data, inmate rosters, and arrest records.
