See Who Was Booked in Webb County During the Last 48 Hours
If the arrest happened today or yesterday, there is a much faster route than running a broad criminal-record search. Webb County Sheriff publishes a dedicated Booking Jail Search for arrests within the last 48 hours. The live list shows the booking number, name, number of charges, race and age.
If the person is not in that feed—or you need current custody, bond or an older booking—switch to the separate Webb County Jail and Bond Record Search. From there, use the court record to find out what happened after booking instead of treating an arrest entry as the final outcome.

Six mistakes that create most Webb County booking confusion
An arrest disappears from the recent window even though the jail or court record still exists.
Save it immediately. Names alone are much easier to confuse.
The live list tells you how many charges exist for a reason. Review every one before discussing release.
District, County Court at Law, JP and Municipal records are maintained through different offices.
Call the jail before sending mail or money when the county has not clearly published the current provider online.
Always continue to the final court disposition when the legal outcome matters.
Recent arrest and booking questions answered
How do I find recent arrests in Webb County Texas?
Use the Webb County Sheriff’s official Booking Jail Search. The county states that this booking feed covers people arrested within the last 48 hours. The list shows the booking number, name, number of charges, race and age. For current custody or bond details beyond the 48-hour window, use the separate Webb County Jail and Bond Record Search.
How far back does the Webb County recent booking search go?
Webb County describes its Booking Jail Search as a list of individuals arrested within the last 48 hours. It should not be treated as a complete historical arrest database. Use the Jail and Bond Record Search or Webb County court records when the arrest is older.
What information appears in the Webb County recent booking list?
The current public booking table displays a booking number, the person’s name, the number of charges, race and age. Use the booking number to help distinguish people with similar names and to continue the search through jail, bond or court records.
How do I find out if someone is still in Webb County Jail?
Use the Sheriff’s Webb County Jail Inmate and Bond Search rather than relying only on the 48-hour booking list. If the online status is unclear, call Webb County Jail at 956-523-4400. The official county directory lists the jail at 1001 Washington Street, Laredo, Texas 78040.
How do I check a Webb County inmate’s bond?
Open the official Webb County Jail and Bond Record Search and choose the jail or bond-record option. Verify the person’s identity and every active case before paying. Webb County Pre-Trial Services also handles personal-bond, surety and court-ordered release processes, and the Webb County Bail Bond Board publishes the current list of licensed bonding companies.
Why is someone I know not appearing in Webb County recent arrests?
The arrest may be more than 48 hours old, booking may still be processing, the person may have been released, the name may be entered differently, the event may have resulted in a citation, or the person may have been booked by another jurisdiction. Search the Jail and Bond Record Search, check Webb County criminal court records and call the jail at 956-523-4400 if necessary.
Does a Webb County booking report mean the person was convicted?
No. A booking record reflects an arrest and custody event and does not establish guilt. Charges may be rejected, changed, reduced, dismissed or resolved differently in court. Verify the filed criminal case and final disposition through the appropriate Webb County court record.
Where do I search Webb County criminal court records after an arrest?
Use the official Webb County Public Record Search and select Criminal Records. District-court judicial records are maintained by the District Clerk, while County Court at Law records are maintained by the County Clerk. Justice of the Peace and Laredo Municipal Court cases use their respective court systems.
How do I get a Laredo Police arrest or offense report?
If Laredo Police made the arrest or created the incident report, use the Laredo Police Department’s official Request a Report or Open Records Request options. Have the person’s name, date of birth, incident or report number, date, location and type of incident available when possible.
Can a Webb County arrest record be expunged or sealed?
Some Texas records may qualify for expunction or an order of nondisclosure depending on the charge, disposition and other legal requirements. The Webb County District Clerk publishes an Expunctions section and nondisclosure forms. Obtain the complete court disposition before deciding which procedure may apply.
