Granbury, Texas, in Hood County, has about 13,000 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 Hood 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 Granbury
The FBI lists Granbury with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Granbury Police Department. It reported 713 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 Hood County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 962 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Hood County: the Lipan Marshal's Office, the Hood County Constable's Precincts 4 and 1 and the Hood County Fire Marshal's Office (other).
How Many Arrests Granbury 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.
- Granbury: 713 for 2025, 780 for 2024, 682 for 2022, 675 for 2021, 542 for 2020 and 705 for 2019; 2023 is missing months.
Granbury's 713 arrests in 2025 were down 8.6 percent from 780 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Granbury reported 452 arrests, against 495 in the same months of 2025.
Across Hood County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,676 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Granbury Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Granbury 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 170 people on an average day, down from about 180 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 192 beds, and it is running at 90 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Granbury
Whether someone was arrested in Granbury, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Hood County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at hoodcounty.texas.gov/courts/county_clerk/court_records.php, phone (817) 579-3222); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at hoodcounty.texas.gov/courts/county_attorney/index.php, phone 817-579-3216).
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 Granbury
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.
