Titus County, Texas, has about 32,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Titus County Sheriff's Office, one city agency and seven 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 Titus 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 Titus County
The Titus County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Titus County. It reported 103 arrests for 2025.
One city in Titus County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:
- Mount Pleasant, 16,238 residents: 895 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 Titus County: Northeast Texas Community College (campus police); the Titus County Constable's Precincts 1 and 2, the Mount Pleasant Independent School District, Titus Fresh Water Supply District 1, the Chapel Hill Northeast Independent School District and one more (other).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Titus 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.
- Mount Pleasant: 895 for 2025, 1,084 for 2024, 515 for 2023, 493 for 2022, 433 for 2021 and 383 for 2020.
- Titus County Sheriff's Office: 103 for 2025, 74 for 2024, 150 for 2023, 133 for 2022, 116 for 2021 and 123 for 2020.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 998 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 998 in 2025 against 1,158 in 2024, down 14 percent.
Through August 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 576 arrests, against 727 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Titus County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Titus 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 180 people on an average day, up from about 130 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 182 beds, and it is running at 100 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 Titus County Sheriff's Office at co.titus.tx.us/page/co.sheriff.jailroster (page title: Titus County, Texas), phone (903) 577-6736, 100 W 1st St | Mt Pleasant, TX 75455, 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 Titus County
Whether someone was arrested in Titus County, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Titus County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Titus County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.titus.tx.us/page/coclerk.records, phone (903) 577-6736); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.titus.tx.us/page/co.districtattorney, phone (903) 577-6726).
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 Titus 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 Northeast Texas Community College, the Titus County Constable's Precincts 1 and 2 or the Mount Pleasant 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) 577-6726, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Titus County District Court, through the court records page at co.titus.tx.us/page/coclerk.records, phone (903) 577-6736.
