How to Search Webb County Busted Mugshots
Calling the Webb County Jail is another option. Give staff the person's full name and date of birth. They can tell you if someone is in custody, what charges are filed, and what the bond is set at. This works well when online tools do not show the person or when the name might have a different spelling in the system.
Note: Webb County jail records are public under Texas law, but juvenile records and sealed cases cannot be released.

All of this information stays on record even after release from custody.
