What Concho County Busted Mugshots Contain
A Concho County booking record holds more than just a photo. Each entry lists the person's full legal name, date of birth, and physical description. The arrest date and time are logged along with the arresting agency. In most cases that is the Concho County Sheriff's Office, but it could also be a state trooper or game warden working in the area.
Every booking gets a unique number. This number ties together the charges, the mugshot, and all court dates set after the arrest. Bond amount is listed too. Some charges carry no bond at all, which means the person stays locked up until a judge rules otherwise.
The mugshot itself is taken at intake. Front-facing photo, plain background. These images become part of the permanent booking file. Charges are listed by statute and description. A single arrest can have multiple charges, and each one shows up separately in the record.
Court dates get added as they are scheduled. Release dates show when someone posted bond or finished their time. All of this data is public under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. The law treats booking records as open government data. You do not need a reason to ask for them. Concho County is a small jurisdiction, so records requests are usually handled fast. Walk-ins to the Sheriff's Office in Paint Rock can often get copies the same day.
Digital records go back several years. Older arrests may only exist on paper. If you need something from the 1990s or earlier, call ahead. The clerk can check what is available before you make the trip.
