What Longview Mugshots Include

When someone gets booked in Gregg County, the jail creates a record with set fields. The booking record has the person's full legal name, date of birth, and a front-facing photo taken at intake. It also lists the charges filed, the arresting agency, and the bond amount set by a judge or magistrate.

Physical details are part of every record too. Height, weight, hair color, eye color, race, and sex all get logged at booking. The system records the date and time of the arrest plus the booking number assigned to that stay. If the person posts bond or gets released, that date shows up as well.

Longview busted mugshots pulled from the Gregg County system will show most of these fields. Some records also include the court the case is assigned to and the next hearing date. Bond conditions and hold information may appear for inmates still in custody. Older records might not have a photo if the system was different at that time, but most recent bookings include one.
