Camp County, Texas, has about 13,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Camp County Sheriff's Office, one city agency and two other agencies. An arrest 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 Camp County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Camp County
The Camp County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Camp County. It reported 162 arrests for 2025.
One city in Camp County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:
- Pittsburg, 4,552 residents: 95 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Camp County: Camp County Constable at Precinct 1-4 and the Pittsburg Independent School District (other).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Camp County
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.
- Camp County Sheriff's Office: 162 for 2025, 114 for 2024, 130 for 2023, 127 for 2022, 160 for 2021 and 119 for 2020.

Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 257 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 257 in 2025 against 200 in 2024, up 29 percent.
Through August 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 168 arrests, against 169 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Camp County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Camp County 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 43 people on an average day, up from about 27 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 52 beds, and it is running at 83 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Camp County

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 Camp County
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.
- An arrest by the Camp County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at 903-856-6651.
- An arrest in Pittsburg: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- An arrest by Camp County Constable at Precinct 1-4 or the Pittsburg Independent School District: the records office of the agency involved.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 903-577-6726, handles discovery for pending cases.
- Your own statewide record: a fingerprint-based request to the Department of Public Safety.
