You can run a name-based search for $3.00 per query. Results include convictions, deferred adjudications, and some arrest data reported by local agencies.
The TDCJ Offender Search is free. It covers anyone serving time in a Texas state prison or on parole. Each record shows the offense, sentence length, unit location, and a photo. This tool will not show Nueces County jail inmates since those are county-level holds, not state prison.
VINELink is another free option. It lets you register for custody status alerts on any inmate in Nueces County or elsewhere in Texas. You get a call, text, or email when the person's status changes. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards also publishes reports and data on county jail operations across the state.
Corpus Christi Police Arrest Data
The Corpus Christi Police Department is the main law enforcement agency in the city. Officers handle patrol, investigations, and arrests within city limits.

You can reach the Corpus Christi PD records division at (361) 886-2600. They handle requests for incident reports, accident reports, and arrest reports. Walk-in requests are accepted during business hours. You can also mail or email a written request. Fees for copies follow the state schedule, which is $0.10 per page for most documents.
The department also posts press releases and crime data on its website. These can be useful if you want to check recent arrests or look for a specific case in the news. For the actual mugshot and booking record, though, you need the Nueces County system since that is where the booking happens.
