Read Tarrant County Daily Booked-In Reports and Confirm Current Custody
Use the Sheriff’s Daily Booked In Reports when you need to see who entered the Tarrant County Jail during a recent 24-hour reporting period. Day 1 is the newest report; Day 14 is the oldest report still listed.
A name in the arrest log does not mean the person remains in custody. After finding a possible match, use the individual inmate search to check the current status, charges and bond. Then route misdemeanor cases to the County Clerk or felony cases to the District Clerk for the court outcome.
Day 1 is the most recent Daily Booked-In report.

Tarrant County daily booking questions answered
How do I view today’s Tarrant County arrest log?
Open the official Tarrant County Daily Booked In Reports page and select Day 1, which the Sheriff’s Office identifies as the newest report. The PDF covers inmates booked during the preceding 24-hour reporting period. Read the report date at the top, then save the person’s name, CID, book-in date, booking number and charge descriptions.
How many days of Tarrant County booking reports are available?
Tarrant County publishes 14 rolling Daily Booked In Reports. Day 1 is the newest report and Day 14 is the oldest report currently available from that page. For an arrest outside that 14-day window, use the individual inmate search, court records or a public-record request.
Is the Tarrant County daily booking report the same as the inmate search?
No. The Daily Booked In Report is a dated list of people processed during a 24-hour period. It does not prove that someone remains in jail. The individual inmate search is the better tool for current custody, location, charges and bond information. Call 817-884-3000 when the live status is unclear.
What information appears in the Tarrant County daily arrest log?
The official report includes the inmate name, an identifier section, CID, book-in date, booking number and charge description. A booking number can repeat when several charges belong to the same intake. The charge description is an allegation and not a conviction or final court disposition.
Why is a recent Tarrant County arrest missing from the daily log?
The person may still be processing, may have been booked after the reporting cutoff, may appear in the next report, may be listed under another spelling, may have received a citation, or may be held by a city jail or another county. Search several report days, use the individual inmate search and call 817-884-3000 when needed.
How do I check a Tarrant County inmate’s bond and release status?
Use the individual inmate search and review every displayed charge and bond. Tarrant County also publishes 14 rolling Daily Bond Reports, but those reports list bonds issued during a reporting period and are not a guarantee of current custody or completed release. Call the jail information line at 817-884-3000 before paying or travelling.
Where do I find the court result after a Tarrant County arrest?
Class A and B misdemeanor records are maintained by the Tarrant County Clerk Criminal Division. Felony records are maintained by the Tarrant County District Clerk. Search the correct office using the case number or defendant information and read the disposition for every count rather than relying only on the booking charge.
How do I request a Tarrant County arrest or offense report?
Request a Sheriff’s Office-created record from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Records Division through its online request portal, by email at TCSO_Records@tarrantcountytx.gov, or at 200 Taylor Street, sixth floor, Fort Worth. If a city police department made the arrest, request the report from that department instead.
How do I visit or send money to a Tarrant County inmate?
Verify current custody before travelling. General visitation is assigned by the inmate’s last-name group and is limited to one 30-minute visit per day and three visits per week. Tarrant County accepts inmate deposits through Access Corrections, facility kiosks, telephone and approved cash-walk-in options. Cash is not accepted by mail.
Can a Tarrant County arrest record be expunged or sealed?
Some Texas cases qualify for expunction, while others may qualify for an order of nondisclosure. Eligibility depends on the arrest, charge, court result, waiting period, prior history and other cases arising from the same event. Obtain the complete misdemeanor or felony disposition before using current Texas forms or seeking legal advice.
