Booking: Where People Arrested in Marble Falls Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Marble Falls 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 430 people on an average day, up from about 340 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 587 beds, and it is running at 73 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Marble Falls
For Marble Falls the place to look is the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at burnetcountytexas.org/1408/District-Attorney, phone 512-756-5462).
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.
