Reeves County, Texas, has about 12,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Reeves County Sheriff's Office, one city agency and three 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 Reeves 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 Reeves 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.
- Reeves County Sheriff's Office: 129 for 2024 and 144 for 2023.
- Pecos: 114 for 2025, 116 for 2024, 138 for 2023, 108 for 2022, 137 for 2021 and 178 for 2020.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Reeves County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Reeves 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 31 people on an average day, down from about 73 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 84 beds, and it is running at 37 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Reeves County
For Reeves County the place to look is the case index of the Reeves County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at reeves.tx.publicsearch.us).
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 Reeves 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 Reeves County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
