Maverick County, Texas, has about 59,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Maverick 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 Maverick 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.

How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Maverick 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.
- Eagle Pass: 642 for 2025, 638 for 2024, 769 for 2023, 815 for 2022, 862 for 2021 and 899 for 2020.

Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 820 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 820 in 2025 against 848 in 2024, down 3.3 percent.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Maverick County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Maverick 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 81 people on an average day, down from about 650 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 250 beds, and it is running at 32 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
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 Maverick County
For Maverick County the place to look is the case index of the Maverick County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.maverick.tx.us/district-court, phone 830-468-6850).
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.
