Hunt County Arrest Record Details

For recent arrests, a booking photograph is usually part of the record as well. These records are public under the Texas Public Information Act.
Arrest records show what officers filed at the time of booking. They do not show what happened in court. The District Attorney may file different charges, negotiate a plea, or decline to prosecute.
