Seguin, Texas, in Guadalupe County, has about 39,000 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 Guadalupe 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 Seguin
The FBI lists Seguin with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Seguin Police Department. It reported 853 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 Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 2,496 arrests for 2020.
How Many Arrests Seguin 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.
- Seguin: 853 for 2025, 743 for 2023, 670 for 2022, 600 for 2021, 724 for 2020 and 863 for 2019; 2024 is missing months.

Across Guadalupe County, the four agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,293 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Seguin Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Seguin 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 470 people on an average day, up from about 390 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 598 beds, and it is running at 79 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Seguin
For Seguin the place to look is the case index of the Guadalupe County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at guadalupetx.gov/page/Courts, phone 830-303-8861).
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 Seguin
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.
