How to Find Jackson County Arrest Records

Jackson County arrest records should best be searched at the local jail. Call them at 361-782-5407 to inquire about a detainee's status.

The sheriff, unlike other larger counties, does not display a Jackson County jail roster on his website, so if you plan to do an online research we suggest turning to these two broader governmental sources: 1) The Texas DPS operates an arrest search tool that shows all people incarcerated in the state for Class B misdemeanor or greater offenses. This service comes with a fee. 2) The TDCJ maintains an electronic inmate lookup tool allowing you to locate people confined in the state's prisons.

Where to look for Jackson County warrants

Information on wanted people can be acquired at the sheriff office. You ought to go there in person (115 W. Main, Room 104, Edna, TX 77957, phone: 361-782-3371) to find out if a person you are checking has any history with the police. This kind of information is usually disseminated freely. Law enforcement agencies believe that the public may help them locate fugitive and so they have no problem sharing information.

Carrying out a case search

To discover whether a person has prior convictions go to the County Clerk (for misdemeanor cases) or the District Clerk (for felony cases) and submit a request to view Jackson County court records.

The Texas Open Records Act obligates the authorities to provide the public with free access to records in their possessions. For more information on how to access public information, go here.
