Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026.

Jasper County, Texas, has about 33,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office, two city agencies and four 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 Jasper 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 Jasper County
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Jasper County. It reported 573 arrests for 2019, its latest complete year.
Arrests inside two of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Jasper, 7,505 residents: 288 arrests reported for 2025.
- Kirbyville, 2,021 residents: 14 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 Jasper County: the Jasper County Constable's Precincts 1, 5, 4 and 2 (other).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Jasper County
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.
- Jasper: 288 for 2025, 256 for 2023, 236 for 2022 and 289 for 2019; 2020, 2021 and 2024 are missing months.
- Kirbyville: 14 for 2025.
- Jasper County Sheriff's Office: 573 for 2019.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 302 arrests that year.
Through May 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 115 arrests, against 122 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Jasper County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Jasper County 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 120 people on an average day, up from about 110 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 147 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 Jasper County Sheriff's Office at jasperso.com/inmate-roster (page title: Inmate Roster | Jasper SO), 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 Jasper County
An arrest in Jasper County can be traced in three places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Jasper County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Jasper County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.jasper.tx.us/page/County.Clerk, phone 409-384-2632); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.jasper.tx.us/page/District.Attorney, phone 409-384-4362).
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 Jasper County
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. 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 Jasper County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Jasper or Kirbyville: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- An arrest by the Jasper County Constable's Precincts 1, 5, 4 and 2: the records office of the agency involved.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 409-384-4362, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Jasper County District Court, through the court records page at co.jasper.tx.us/page/County.Clerk, phone 409-384-2632.
- Your own statewide record: a fingerprint-based request to the Department of Public Safety.
