The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Reeves County: the Reeves County Constable's Precincts 4 and 3 and the Pecos Barstow Toyah Independent School District (other).
Booking: Where People Arrested in Town of Pecos Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Town of Pecos 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 31 people on an average day, down from about 73 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 84 beds, and it is running at 37 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Town of Pecos
For Town of Pecos the place to look is the case index of the Reeves County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at reeves.tx.publicsearch.us).
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.
