Webb County, Texas, has about 273,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Webb County depends on where the incident happened: the Webb County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Texas Public Information Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Webb County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Webb County that is the Webb County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies and two campus police departments in Webb County, each with a records office of its own.
Reports from the Webb County Sheriff's Office
The Webb County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 38 violent and 155 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 242 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its custody page, at legacy.webbcountytx.gov/Sheriff/BookingJailSearch (page title: Booking Jail Search), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
Reports from the City Agencies in Webb County
The two cities the FBI lists in Webb County with a reporting agency of their own, with the police records page SearchSystems verified where the city has a guide:
- Laredo: 829 violent and 3,040 property crimes reported for 2025; 5,549 arrests reported for 2025. The Laredo police department's page is at cityoflaredo.com/departments/police-department, phone (956) 795-2828 (verified September 25, 2026).

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.
