Navarro County, Texas, has about 57,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Navarro County Sheriff's Office, six city agencies and five campus, state or 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 Navarro 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 Navarro County
The Navarro County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Navarro County. It reported 269 arrests for 2024, its latest complete year.
Arrests inside six 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:
- Corsicana, 25,591 residents: 762 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 Navarro County: Navarro College (campus police); the Navarro County Constable's Precincts 1 and 3, the Corsicana Independent School District and the Blooming Grove Independent School District (other).

Through August 2026, the five agencies with every month so far on file reported 614 arrests, against 604 in the same months of 2025.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Navarro County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Navarro 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 210 people on an average day, down from about 220 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 290 beds, and it is running at 72 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice lists its inmates at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/start.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Navarro County
An arrest in Navarro County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Navarro County District Court, kept by the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.navarro.tx.us/page/district.attorney, phone (903) 654-3045).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at co.navarro.tx.us/page/court.dockets (page title: County Court Docket | Navarro County, TX), belongs to a lower court, not to the Navarro County District Court.
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 Navarro 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 Navarro County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Corsicana, Kerens, Rice, Blooming Grove, Dawson or Richland: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city; the city guides linked above name each city's records office.
- An arrest by Navarro College, the Navarro County Constable's Precincts 1 and 3 or the Corsicana 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) 654-3045, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: in the Navarro County District Court it is kept by the District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases. The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at co.navarro.tx.us/page/court.dockets, is a lower court's.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at co.navarro.tx.us/page/Open.Records.Request (page title: Open Records Request | Navarro County, TX).
