What Limestone County Busted Mugshots Contain

A Limestone County booking record is more than a mugshot. The file starts with a booking number that uniquely identifies the arrest event. Staff enters the person's full legal name, date of birth, aliases, and physical details: height, weight, hair color, eye color. The home address goes in along with the arresting officer's name and the agency that made the arrest.

Charges are listed separately. Each count has a statute number and description. Bond is set per charge and the total bond is the sum. The booking date and time are logged to the minute. The mugshot is a front-facing photo taken during intake at the Limestone County Jail. The facility in Groesbeck processes all arrests from across the county.

One important thing to remember is that booking data can change. After the arrest, the prosecutor may add counts, drop charges, or change offense levels. Bond amounts get adjusted at court hearings. The mugshot stays the same but the charge sheet is a living document.
