Wolfforth, Texas, in Lubbock County, has about 8,000 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 Lubbock 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 Wolfforth
The FBI lists Wolfforth with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Wolfforth Police Department. It reported 105 arrests for 2024, its latest complete year. 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 Lubbock County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 427 arrests for 2024.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Lubbock County: Lubbock County Water Control and Improvement District #1, Lubbock International Airport, the Lubbock County Constable's Precinct 1, the Idalou Independent School District and three more (other); Lubbock Christian University and Texas Tech University at Lubbock (campus police).
How Many Arrests Wolfforth Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.
- Wolfforth: 105 for 2024.
Across Lubbock County, the six agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,703 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Wolfforth Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Wolfforth 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 1,270 people on an average day, down from about 1,270 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 1,530 beds, and it is running at 83 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 Lubbock County Sheriff's Office at lubbocksheriff.com/active-jail-roster (page title: Active Jail Search | Lubbock County Sheriff's Office | Dedicated to Service), phone (806) 775-7009, 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 person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, whose inmate locator is at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/start.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Wolfforth
An arrest in Wolfforth can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at lubbockcounty.gov/department/index.php?structureid=13, phone (806) 775-1100).
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 Wolfforth
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.
