Read Tarrant County’s 14-Day Booking Reports and Confirm Current Custody
Use the Sheriff’s Daily Booked In Reports when you need to see who entered the Tarrant County jail system recently. Day 1 is the newest 24-hour report; day 14 is the oldest report available on that page.
A booking report does not tell you reliably whether the person is still confined. After finding the name, copy the CID, book-in date and booking number, then run the separate current-inmate search. This guide also explains municipal jail delays, recent bond reports, court verification, visitation, correspondence, deposits and records requests.
Select Day 1 for the latest published 24-hour report.
The official page provides Day 1 through Day 14.
Confirm through the separate inmate-search portal.

Tarrant County booking report questions answered
How do I see Tarrant County arrests from the past 24 hours?
Open the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Daily Booked In Reports page and select day 1. Day 1 is the newest report and lists people booked during the previous 24-hour reporting period. The report includes the inmate name, CID, book-in date, booking number and charge description. Confirm current custody through the separate Tarrant County Inmate Search.
How far back do Tarrant County daily booking reports go?
The Sheriff’s official Daily Booked In Reports page provides 14 reports. Day 1 is the most recent and day 14 is the oldest available report on that page. For an older booking, use the inmate search, request jail records or search the appropriate criminal court record.
Does the Tarrant County booking report show who is still in jail?
Not reliably. The daily report is a snapshot of people booked during a reporting period. A listed person may have bonded out, been released, transferred or remained in custody after the report was created. Use the current Inmate Search or call the Detention Bureau information line at 817-884-3000.
What is a CID in a Tarrant County booking report?
CID is the identifier displayed by Tarrant County for the person in its jail system. The booking report separately displays a booking number for the intake event. Save both numbers because the CID can help with a current inmate search while the booking number helps identify the specific booking.
Why is a recent arrest missing from the Tarrant County report?
The person may still be booking, may be in a municipal jail, may have received a citation, may have been released before county transfer, or may have been booked under another spelling. Check the Tarrant County Inmate Search, Fort Worth Recent Arrests, Arlington Jail Inmate List and Mansfield Inmate Information when the arresting city is known.
How do I check a recent Tarrant County bond?
Use the inmate search for the person’s current charge and bond information. The Sheriff’s Daily Bond Reports list bonds issued during the previous 24 hours and retain 14 daily reports, but they are not a complete list of every currently payable bond. Confirm the amount and all holds by calling 817-884-3000 before paying.
Where can I post bond for a Tarrant County inmate?
Bonds may be posted 24 hours a day at the Bond Desk inside the Tarrant County Corrections Center, 100 North Lamar Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76196. A person paying the bond directly must pay the full required amount. Confirm every charge, bond and hold through the jail information line first.
How do I request a Tarrant County booking or arrest report?
For jail records or a Sheriff-created incident, submit a written request to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office Records Division online, by email, by mail or in person at 200 Taylor Street, sixth floor, Fort Worth. If another police department made the arrest, request the offense report from that department.
How 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. Use the booking number, CID, defendant name, date of birth and cause number to locate the correct case and obtain the disposition for each charge.
Can a Tarrant County arrest record be expunged or sealed?
Some Texas cases may qualify for expunction or an order of nondisclosure. Eligibility depends on the arrest, charge, disposition, waiting period, prior history and other cases arising from the same event. Obtain the complete misdemeanor or felony disposition before using current Texas court forms or consulting a qualified lawyer.
