Robertson County, Texas, has about 18,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Robertson County Sheriff's Office and four city 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 Robertson 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 Robertson County
The Robertson County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Robertson County. It reported 50 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside four 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:
- Hearne, 4,641 residents: 52 arrests reported for 2025.
- Franklin, 1,792 residents: 9 arrests reported for 2025.
- Calvert, 991 residents: 4 arrests reported for 2025.
- Bremond, 883 residents: 7 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 Robertson 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.

Through August 2026, the four agencies with every month so far on file reported 108 arrests, against 80 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Robertson County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Robertson 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 78 people on an average day, up from about 35 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 92 beds, and it is running at 85 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 Robertson County Sheriff's Office at robertsoncountysherifftx.org/inmate-roster/filters/current/booking_... (page title: Inmate Roster | Robertson County Texas Sheriff's Office | Sort Booking Time | Descending | Page 1), 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 Robertson County
An arrest in Robertson County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Robertson County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.robertson.tx.us/page/robertson.District.Attorney, phone 979-828-3337).
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 Robertson 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 Robertson County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Hearne, Franklin, Calvert or Bremond: 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, 979-828-3337, handles discovery for pending cases.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at robertsoncountyesdtx.gov (page title: Public Records Request Online Form | Robertson County ESD).
- Your own statewide record: a fingerprint-based request to the Department of Public Safety.
