Young County Sheriff and Arrest Records
The Young County Sheriff's Office operates the county detention facility in Graham and is the official keeper of all arrest and booking records. The Sheriff's records division maintains files for everyone processed at the facility, including those arrested by the Graham Police Department and other local agencies. All records are maintained in compliance with the Texas Public Information Act (Government Code Chapter 552).
To get official copies of arrest records, submit a written public information request to the Young County Sheriff's Office. You can go in person or send the request by mail. The agency must respond within 10 business days. Include the subject's full name, approximate arrest date, and any booking or case number you have. Fees are determined by the state copying schedule.
For a quick custody check, calling the Sheriff's Office directly is the most efficient approach. Staff can confirm whether a person is currently in custody and provide basic charge information without a formal request being required.

What Young County Arrest Records Show
A Young County arrest record documents a specific booking event. It includes the arrested person's full legal name, date of birth, and physical description. It lists the arresting agency and officer, the date and time of arrest, all charges filed at booking, and bond information. A booking photo is typically included as part of the record.
Arrest records are separate from court records. The arrest record covers the initial booking event. Court records show what happened afterward, including whether charges were filed, plea agreements reached, or trials held. The Young County District Clerk handles felony cases, and the County Clerk manages misdemeanor records. Both offices are at the Young County Courthouse in Graham and are open during regular business hours.
