Kaufman County Arrest Log | Daily and Recent Bookings

Kaufman County, Texas · Daily booking view, recent jail intake and current custody

Use the Sheriff’s “Days” Filter to Narrow Recent Kaufman County Bookings

If you are checking who was booked recently, you do not need to scroll through every name in the Kaufman County Jail. The Sheriff’s live roster lets you search three ways: by inmate name, by charge description, or over the last number of days.

For the newest activity, select Days and enter a short window such as 1, 3 or 7. Then verify the person in the court system before treating a booking charge as the final criminal case. If the person has already been released, use the records and court routes below instead of assuming the live roster is a complete historical arrest log.

A booking is not a conviction. A jail entry records custody and allegations connected with the booking process. Prosecutors may reject, change or add charges, and the final result belongs in the court record.

First choose the right search

“Daily arrest log” can mean three different things in Kaufman County

NEWEST BOOKINGS Use the Days filter

Best when you want to narrow the live jail roster to a recent one-day or multi-day window.

See how the rolling-day search works
CURRENTLY IN JAIL Search Inmates or View All

Best when the question is whether a particular person is currently in Kaufman County custody.

Search the current roster
SEARCH BY OFFENSE Use Charges

Useful when you do not know the person but want current roster entries associated with a particular charge description.

Search by charge safely
ALREADY RELEASED Use records + court search

The live roster should not be treated as a permanent history of everyone arrested and later released.

Request the missing record
FINAL CHARGE Use the Tyler court portal

Check whether the prosecutor filed the same offense and what later happened to the case.

Verify the criminal case
FAMILY HELP Use the jail service pages

After confirming custody, move to visitation, messages, phone calls, mail, money and bond information.

Daily and recent bookings

Use “Days” as a recent-booking filter—not as a permanent arrest archive

Shortest path: Open the official jail page → select Days → enter a recent number → open the results → verify the person and booking details.
Enter 1

Use this for the shortest recent window when your intent is similar to “today’s bookings.”

Important: treat it as a recent one-day filter rather than a midnight-to-midnight daily arrest report.

Enter 2–3

Useful when you know the arrest happened within the last few days but are unsure of the exact booking date.

Enter 7 or more

Useful for a broader recent search. The official field accepts between one and four numeric digits.

What this does not guarantee: The page is the Sheriff’s Current Inmates system. Do not assume a Days search proves every person arrested during that period is still displayed after release.
Open the live Kaufman County Jail page Open Current Inmates
Select Days at the top The same tool also offers Inmates and Charges.
Enter only the number Use a small number when looking for the newest activity.
Open each relevant result Do not identify someone from a name alone.
Record the SO number or booking identifier shown You may need it for jail calls, mail, deposits or court searches.
Save the booking date and charge information These help match the arrest to the later criminal case.
Check the court portal next The booking label is not the final prosecutor or court result.
Current inmate search

Search by name when you are worried about one person

Select Inmates The official page opens with an inmate-search route and also offers View All Inmates.
Use the booked name Try the last name first when spelling is uncertain.
Open every plausible match Common names can create a dangerous wrong-person assumption.
Compare more than one identifier Use the SO number, booking number, booking timing, charge and known arrest circumstances.
Call the jail when current status is unclear The Kaufman County Jail lists 972-932-4337 for inmate and facility information.
Charge lookup

Search current jail entries by charge description

The Kaufman County Jail tool has a separate Charges search and a View All Charges option. This can help when you are researching recent custody activity by offense rather than by person.

Use the wording shown by the jail system
Try a shorter charge phrase when the search is too narrow
Open the person record rather than relying on the charge list alone
Record the SO or booking identifier
Match the booking date to the known event
Verify the filed charge in court records
Charge wording changes. A jail charge can reflect what was recorded during intake. Kaufman County prosecutors decide whether to accept a case and what formal charge proceeds.
Wrong-person protection

Never identify a Kaufman County arrestee from the name alone

Full booked name is consistent
SO number or booking number matches
Booking date fits the known timeline
Arresting agency makes geographic sense
Charge matches the known incident
Court case follows the same person and event
Use at least two independent identifiers before sending money, sharing a mugshot, contacting an employer or posting an allegation publicly.
No result

Why the person may be missing from the Kaufman County jail list

Booking is still being processed Intake, identification, medical screening and data entry can occur before a public entry becomes easy to locate.
The person was released Move to the court portal and inmate-record request instead of treating a current roster as a historical archive.
The name is different Try another spelling, former surname, maiden name, hyphenated name or suffix.
The arrest did not lead to county-jail booking A citation or other release process may create a court case without a lengthy jail stay.
The person was booked elsewhere Search the county or facility where custody actually occurred.
The case is restricted Juvenile, expunged or legally confidential information may not appear publicly.
Call script for a missing booking
I am trying to confirm the current custody or booking status of [full legal name]. The arrest may have occurred on [date] through [agency]. Can you tell me whether the person is currently booked, still processing, released or listed under another SO or booking number?

Booking to court

Find what prosecutors actually filed after the arrest

Kaufman County’s District Attorney explains the local split clearly: Class A and B misdemeanor cases are filed with the County Clerk; felony cases are filed with the District Clerk.

Class A or B misdemeanor

Use the County Clerk court record and County Courts at Law.

Examples can include certain assault, theft, DWI and other misdemeanor prosecutions depending on the filed charge.

Felony case

Use the District Clerk and the district-court record. Kaufman County currently lists the 86th, 422nd and 489th District Courts.

Kaufman County Clerk misdemeanor search and copy fees currently published
Service Published fee Useful when
Inspect court record No inspection charge You need to review a public County Clerk court file.
Plain copy $1 per page An unofficial paper copy is sufficient.
Certified copy $5 certification + $1 per page You need formal proof of a filing or disposition.
Certification of Facts $5 You need the results of a search without copies.
For a mailed misdemeanor search, the County Clerk asks for the charged person’s name, the offense or conviction date within a 10-year period, the type of offense when known, applicable fees and a return mailing address.
Arrest and incident records

Request the record when the live jail roster is not enough

Use the Sheriff’s open-record form when you need an HCSO-created incident, arrest-related or other identifiable law-enforcement record rather than current custody alone.

Find the case number if possible It is the cleanest identifier for the request.
Provide an incident date range The Sheriff’s form asks for beginning and ending dates.
Add the time range This helps staff distinguish similar calls or incidents.
Identify the incident type and exact location Include the street address and city.
Describe the document you actually need Avoid an unnecessarily broad “everything you have” request.
List the people involved The online form supports multiple involved persons.
Select the delivery method The form supports delivery information for email, fax or physical address depending on the request.
Sheriff open-record email: OPENRECORDS@KAUFMANSO.COM
The Sheriff states that when a requester agrees to receive a redacted releasable copy, the department will provide it within 10 working days from the request date. If an Attorney General ruling is required for unredacted material, the process may take up to 45 working days.
Copy-ready Sheriff records request
I request the releasable records concerning [full name] for the incident occurring on or about [date] between [time range] at [location]. Known identifiers are case number [number], SO number [number] and booking number [number]. I specifically request [incident report / arrest record / probable-cause information / identified document]. Electronic delivery is preferred. Please contact me before processing if significant fees will apply.
Bond and release

Check every charge before calling a Kaufman County bondsman

Verify the person and SO number Do not discuss payment until you know you have the right booking.
List every charge or case One bond does not necessarily resolve a second charge, warrant or hold.
Ask the jail what is preventing release Call 972-932-4337 when the online entry is unclear.
Use a licensed Kaufman County surety The county Bail Bond Board publishes the approved company list.
Read the fee and collateral agreement Keep a written copy of premiums, collateral and conditions.
Do not assume payment means immediate release Jail staff still must clear all cases, court conditions and holds.
Kaufman County’s Bail Bond Board licenses and regulates surety companies. The Board page includes an Approved Bonding Company List and notes rule changes effective June 1, 2026.
Bail Bond Administrator: 972-932-4337

Mail, messages, calls and money

Use the current Kaufman County Jail instructions—not an old mailing address

Important mailing update: The Sheriff’s main Jail Info page currently routes ordinary non-legal personal mail through a scanning address in Longview, Texas.

Fax: 469-595-0186
Case information

Ask the Victim Assistance Coordinator about a pending prosecution and victim-rights process.

Local orientation

Three important Kaufman County criminal-justice stops sit along US-175

1900
Sheriff & Jail
1900 E US-175
Kaufman, TX 75142

Booking, custody, inmate services and Sheriff records.

1902
Justice Center
1902 E US Hwy 175
Kaufman, TX 75142

County Clerk, District Clerk, courts, DA, Public Defender and indigent defense.

1906
Pretrial Supervision
1906 E US Hwy 175
Kaufman, TX 75142

Pretrial bond supervision after qualifying release.

These offices are close together but have different responsibilities. Calling the jail for a certified court disposition—or calling the Clerk for a housing pod—usually wastes time.
Beyond the county roster

Use a Texas-wide tool when the Kaufman booking is only part of the question

Texas DPS Criminal History

Use DPS for a broader Texas public criminal-history search rather than one county’s current jail roster.

Open Texas DPS search

Texas Department of Criminal Justice

Use TDCJ after someone enters state-prison custody or when you need a TDCJ/SID-based state search.

Open TDCJ inmate information
Do not use a statewide name match as proof of identity without comparing date of birth, identifiers and the underlying court record.
Old or inaccurate booking

Correction, expunction and nondisclosure solve different problems

Record is wrong

Identify which agency or clerk created the incorrect field and obtain the controlling document proving the correct information.

Record is accurate but eligible for expunction

Texas expunction can require covered agencies to remove qualifying arrest records after a proper court order.

Record may qualify for nondisclosure

A nondisclosure order restricts public disclosure of qualifying criminal-history information but is not the same as destroying every record.

Kaufman County’s current District Clerk materials include an expunction distribution list updated under legislation effective September 1, 2025. Use the newest local instructions rather than an old agency list copied from another Texas county.
Eligibility can depend on the arrest, charge, prosecutor action, waiting period, prior history and how all charges from the same arrest ended. Obtain the complete court disposition before filing.

10 practical questions

Kaufman County daily and recent booking questions

How do I see today’s Kaufman County bookings?

Open the Kaufman County Sheriff’s official Current Inmates page and select the Days search. Enter 1 to narrow the roster to the most recent one-day window. The tool is a live jail roster rather than a complete historical arrest archive, so someone who was booked and already released may require an inmate-record request or court search.

How do I search recent Kaufman County bookings for several days?

Use the Days option on the official Kaufman County Jail roster and enter the number of days you want to review. The portal accepts 1 to 4 digits. For example, entering 3 or 7 can narrow the current roster to people associated with that recent booking window.

Can I search the Kaufman County jail roster by charge?

Yes. The official roster provides a Charges search in addition to Inmates and Days. You may search a charge description or use View All Charges. Use the result only as a jail-booking record and check the Kaufman County court portal for the filed charge and case outcome.

Why is someone missing from the Kaufman County arrest log?

The person may still be processing, may have been released, may be listed under another spelling, may have received a citation instead of a county-jail booking, or may have been booked elsewhere. Call the Kaufman County Jail at 972-932-4337 when current custody remains unclear.

Does the Kaufman County jail roster prove that someone was convicted?

No. A jail booking reflects custody and allegations associated with that booking. Kaufman County’s District Attorney explains that prosecutors decide what charges to accept. Misdemeanor cases are filed with the County Clerk and felony cases with the District Clerk. Check the court record for the filed charge and disposition.

How do I request a Kaufman County Sheriff’s arrest or incident report?

Use the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Open Records Request form or email OPENRECORDS@KAUFMANSO.COM. Provide the case number when known, incident date and time range, incident type, location, involved people and a specific description of the records requested.

What are Kaufman County Jail visitation hours?

In-person visitation varies by sex and housing pod. Female visitation is Tuesday 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Male A and C pod visitation is Wednesday 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Male B pod visitation is Thursday 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Separate times apply to federal inmates.

How do I send mail to someone in Kaufman County Jail?

The Sheriff’s current main Jail Info page directs ordinary non-legal inmate mail to Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, PO Box 591, Longview, Texas 75606, using the inmate’s name and SO number. The mail is scanned and then destroyed. Legal and medical mail must be sent directly to the facility under the Sheriff’s separate rules.

How do I add money or order commissary for a Kaufman County inmate?

The Sheriff’s current jail information directs online trust-fund deposits and commissary ordering through Tiger Correctional Services. Money orders are also accepted under the Sheriff’s inmate-account instructions, but cash is not accepted for inmate accounts. Confirm the inmate’s SO number before sending money.

How do I find the court case after a Kaufman County booking?

Use the official Kaufman County Tyler Odyssey Portal. Smart Search accepts a record number or a person’s name in Last, First Middle Suffix format. Advanced filters include date of birth, SO number, booking number, case type, case status and filing dates. Class A and B misdemeanors are maintained through the County Clerk, while felony cases are filed with the District Clerk.
