Corsicana, Texas, in Navarro County, has about 26,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Navarro County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Corsicana
The FBI lists Corsicana with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Corsicana Police Department. It reported 762 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.
Outside the city, the Navarro County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 269 arrests for 2024.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Navarro County: Navarro College (campus police); the Navarro County Constable's Precincts 1 and 3, the Corsicana Independent School District and the Blooming Grove Independent School District (other).
How Many Arrests Corsicana Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Corsicana: 762 for 2025, 810 for 2024, 716 for 2023, 832 for 2022, 886 for 2021 and 841 for 2020.
Corsicana's 762 arrests in 2025 were down 5.9 percent from 810 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Corsicana reported 554 arrests, against 545 in the same months of 2025.
Across Navarro County, the five agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 854 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Corsicana Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Corsicana and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 210 people on an average day, down from about 220 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 290 beds, and it is running at 72 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice lists its inmates at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/start.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Corsicana
An arrest in Corsicana can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Navarro County District Court, kept by the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.navarro.tx.us/page/district.attorney, phone (903) 654-3045).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at co.navarro.tx.us/page/court.dockets (page title: County Court Docket | Navarro County, TX), belongs to a lower court, not to the Navarro County District Court.
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.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Corsicana
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Texas Public Information Act the agency must answer within 10 business days, and it may charge the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests.
- An arrest by the Corsicana police: the police records page SearchSystems verified at cityofcorsicana.com/617/Open-Records-Request (page title: Open Records Request | Corsicana, TX), phone 903-654-4900, 200 N. 12th St. Corsicana, TX 75110, Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 25, 2026.

- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (903) 654-3045, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: in the Navarro County District Court it is kept by the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases. The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at co.navarro.tx.us/page/court.dockets, is a lower court's.
