- Someone in the county jail: jail inmate records.
- Booking photos or recent arrest cards: jail roster mugshots.

- A specific jail, police holding facility, or state medical unit: use the facility pages listed in the footer.

- A federal or immigration detainee: use the BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator.
Court Record Contacts
For felony and district-court criminal records after a Galveston County arrest, the District Clerk is the key court-record office. The clerk's online copy request process is for previously filed documents and is not a way to ask the clerk to create reports or case lists.
