Graham, Texas, in Young County, has about 8,900 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 Young 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 Graham
The FBI lists Graham with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Graham Police Department. It reported 271 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 Young County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 158 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Young County: the Young County Constable's Precinct 3 (other).
How Many Arrests Graham 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.
- Graham: 271 for 2025, 295 for 2024, 410 for 2023, 475 for 2022, 407 for 2021 and 336 for 2020.
Graham's 271 arrests in 2025 were down 8.1 percent from 295 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Graham reported 195 arrests, against 191 in the same months of 2025.
Across Young County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 484 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Graham Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Graham 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 85 people on an average day, up from about 59 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 144 beds, and it is running at 59 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Graham
Whether someone was arrested in Graham, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Young County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.young.tx.us/page/young.DistrictCourtDockets); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.young.tx.us/page/young.District.Attorney, phone 940-549-4132).
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 Graham
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. 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.
