Grand Prairie Arrest Records
Grand Prairie arrest records are public under Texas law and include booking details, charges, bond amounts, and custody status for people arrested by the Grand Prairie Police Department. Grand Prairie spans both Dallas and Tarrant counties, so felony arrests may be processed through either county's jail system. This page covers the city detention facility, both county jail resources, and the state tools that apply to Grand Prairie arrests.
Grand Prairie Police Detention Center
The Grand Prairie Police Department Detention Center is the city's primary holding facility for recent arrests. It is located at 1525 Arkansas Lane, Grand Prairie, TX 75051, phone: (972) 237-8951. Individuals arrested by Grand Prairie Police are brought here for initial booking and the magistration process. Visitation hours at the city jail are Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM for eligible inmates. Call the facility directly to confirm current schedules.
The city jail is not designed for long-term detention. People with felony charges are transferred to county facilities after initial processing. Grand Prairie straddles the Dallas-Tarrant county line, which means the county receiving the transfer depends on which part of the city the arrest took place in. Both counties should be checked for complete results.
Dallas County Jail for Grand Prairie Arrests
A large portion of Grand Prairie lies within Dallas County, and the Dallas County Sheriff's Office handles felony bookings for those arrests. The Lew Sterrett Justice Center at 111 W. Commerce Street, Dallas, TX 75202 is the main county jail, with capacity for over 7,100 inmates. The Dallas County Jail Lookup System is available online for name or booking number searches. The 24-hour Inmate Information Line is (214) 761-9025.
All felony prosecutions for Grand Prairie arrests in the Dallas County portion go through the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. Court records are held at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd., Dallas. You can email felony records requests to dcrecordscriminal@dallascounty.org or visit in person.
Tarrant County as a Secondary Resource
The western portion of Grand Prairie falls within Tarrant County. For arrests in that area, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office handles custody and maintains the county jail. The Tarrant County Jail Inmate Information Line is 817-884-3000. The Sheriff's Office also provides online inmate search tools. For records and warrant inquiries, the Warrant Division can be reached at 817-884-1320.
Tarrant County provides District Clerk Criminal Records at 817-884-1342 and County Clerk Criminal and Misdemeanor Records at 817-884-1066. General county information is available at 817-884-1111. If you are unsure which county an arrest falls under, check both the Dallas and Tarrant county systems.
Grand Prairie Municipal Court Records
The Grand Prairie Municipal Court handles Class C misdemeanors and city ordinance violations. These cases are separate from both Dallas and Tarrant county court systems. The Municipal Court maintains its own records for traffic tickets, minor offenses, and city code violations. For records at this level, contact the Municipal Court directly or check city online services. Paying fines and checking case status may be available online through the city's portal.
To request offense reports and police records from the Grand Prairie Police Department, submit a written public information request. The Texas Public Information Act requires a response within 10 business days. Fees may apply for printed copies.
