Find Arrest Records in Concho County
Concho County arrest records are public documents maintained by the Sheriff's Office in Eden, Texas. This small West Texas county does not have a public online inmate roster, so you will need to contact the Sheriff's Office directly or submit a public information request to access booking records and arrest reports. This page explains how to find Concho County arrest records and which state resources can help when local options are limited.

The Concho County Sheriff's Office is located at 106 Paint Rock Road, Eden, Texas 76837. The main phone number is (325) 869-4941.

Concho County is a small rural county in the Texas Hill Country region with a population of approximately 2,700 residents. Because of the county's small size, there is currently no official online jail roster or inmate search provided directly by the Sheriff's Office. To find out if someone is in custody, the most direct approach is to call (325) 869-4941 during business hours. Be ready to provide the person's full name and date of birth.
The Sheriff's Office maintains arrest and booking records for all inmates in custody, including booking details, charges, and bond amounts. Pre-trial detainees and sentenced county inmates are both housed at the facility. Visitation rules, commissary services, and communication policies can be obtained by contacting the jail administration directly. For bond information, the Concho County court system manages bond settings and conditions.
Requesting Concho County Arrest Records
Official copies of arrest reports and incident records are available through a public information request to the Concho County Sheriff's Office. Requests can be submitted in person at 106 Paint Rock Road, Eden, TX 76837, or by mail to the same address. The Texas Public Information Act (Government Code Chapter 552) requires the agency to respond within 10 business days.
Include as much detail as possible in your request. The subject's full name, date of birth, approximate date of arrest, and any known case or booking number will help the office locate the record efficiently. Fees may apply for document copies based on the state fee schedule. Records involving juveniles, active investigations, sealed cases, and expunged matters are not available to the general public.
The Concho County Clerk and District Clerk maintain criminal court files at the Concho County Courthouse in Paint Rock.

Eden is the county seat for most services, but the courthouse is located in Paint Rock, the original county seat.
