Kimble County, Texas, has about 4,400 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Kimble County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. 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 Kimble 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 Kimble County
The Kimble County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Kimble County. It reported 78 arrests for 2023, its latest complete year.
The FBI lists one city in Kimble County with a reporting agency of its own:
- Junction, 2,492 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.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Kimble 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.
- Kimble County Sheriff's Office: 78 for 2023, 99 for 2022, 59 for 2021 and 162 for 2019; 2020 is missing months.
- Junction: 14 for 2025, 22 for 2024, 36 for 2023, 52 for 2022, 63 for 2021 and 20 for 2020.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2023 on file reported 114 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2023 and 2022 complete reported 114 in 2023 against 151 in 2022, down 25 percent.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Kimble County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Kimble 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 14 people on an average day, down from about 15 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 19 beds, and it is running at 74 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Kimble County
An arrest in Kimble County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Kimble County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.kimble.tx.us/page/County.Clerk, phone (325) 446-3353); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.kimble.tx.us/page/District.Attorney, phone (325) 347-8400).
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 Kimble 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 Kimble County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at (325) 446-2766.
- An arrest in Junction: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (325) 347-8400, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Kimble County District Court, through the court records page at co.kimble.tx.us/page/County.Clerk, phone (325) 446-3353.
