Beeville Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Beeville

The FBI lists Beeville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Beeville Police Department. It reported 308 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Bee County: the Beeville Independent School District (other).

How Many Arrests Beeville Reports

Booking: Where People Arrested in Beeville Are Held

A person kept in custody after an arrest in Beeville is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.

So far in 2026 the jail has held about 110 people on an average day, down from about 120 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 145 beds, and it is running at 77 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Beeville

For Beeville the place to look is the case index of the Bee County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at beecounty.gov/209/District-Clerk, phone 361-621-1562).

Texas is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Conviction Database search lets anyone look up convictions and deferred adjudications by name, for $3 a search, through the Texas Department of Public Safety. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
