Pflugerville, Texas, in Travis County, has about 67,000 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 Travis 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.

The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Travis County: the Travis County Constable's Precincts 5, 2 and 3, the Austin Independent School District, the Travis County Fire Marshal's Office, the Pflugerville Independent School District and two more (other); St. Edwards University, the Austin Community College District, Concordia University and the University of Texas at Austin (campus police).

Booking: Where People Arrested in Pflugerville Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Pflugerville 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 2,440 people on an average day, up from about 2,170 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 3,535 beds, and it is running at 69 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Travis County Sheriff's Office at tcsheriff.org/inmate-jail-info/inmate-info/arrest-booking (page title: Arrest & Booking | Travis County Sheriff's Office, Texas), phone 512-854-4180, 500 W. 10th St. Austin, TX 78701, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
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 Pflugerville
An arrest in Pflugerville can be traced in three places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Travis County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Travis County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at traviscountytx.gov/courts/criminal/attorneys/web); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at districtattorney.traviscountytx.gov, phone (512) 854-9400).
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 Pflugerville
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.
