Midland Recent Arrests: Mugshots, Bookings & Records

The official search accepts a complete or partial last name. It also provides a way to browse the full current detention list without knowing a specific person’s surname.

1. 1

   Open the Midland County Sheriff inmate application

   Start at the county’s Current Detainees page or go directly to Currently Held Detainees.

2. 2

   Use a full or partial surname

   The search screen states that it accepts a partial or complete last name. Start with the known surname. If the search produces no result, try a shorter portion of the surname to account for a spelling variation.

3. 3

   Choose View All Detainees when necessary

   If you do not know the surname, use the application’s option to view all currently listed detainees. This can also help when the person uses a hyphenated surname.

4. 4

   Check the roster timestamp

   The full list displays a heading showing the date and time for the current-detainee data. Use that timestamp to understand the age of the displayed information; it is not a guarantee that custody remains unchanged afterward.

5. 5

   Compare identity details

   Review the available full name and relevant identifiers carefully. Do not conclude that a person is the right match simply because the surname is common in Midland or Odessa.

6. 6

   Read each offense line separately

   The public report uses fields such as Offense, Class, Court, County, Warrant Number, Arrest Date, Bond, Fines and Disposition. A single detained person may have several lines from different cases or arrest dates.

7. 7

   Confirm urgent custody or bond changes by phone

   When the result affects a bond payment, release pickup or immediate family concern, call Midland County Detention Division at 432-688-4745 or 432-688-4746.

Midland County’s detainee list is unusually detailed. It can show multiple charges with different arrest dates and court abbreviations for one person. Reading those fields correctly can prevent costly mistakes.

Is There a Midland County Last-24-Hours Arrest Log?

The verified county system here is labeled Currently Held Detainees. It allows the public to look at current jail custody and associated arrest dates, but it should not be represented as a complete list of everyone arrested today, yesterday or during a chosen historical period.

For an older arrest after the individual has left the jail, request the relevant law-enforcement records or search for the filed court case rather than relying on a current-inmate list.

The standard Midland County current-detainee report should not be confused with a public gallery of every booking photograph. For booking images, the Sheriff’s Office maintains a separate Booking Photos Request process.

That distinction matters because the county’s booking-photo request form has specific eligibility and identifying-information requirements.

What the Sheriff’s Booking Photo Request Requires

1. 1

   Open the county’s booking-photo form

   Use the official Midland County Booking Photos Request. Its form is designed for media requests.

2. 2

   Prepare the required case information

   The form specifies the defendant’s name, date of birth or SPN, and criminal charge. It also requests the name of the news organization and contact details.

3. 3

   Follow the written-request window

   The Sheriff’s form says requests must be made in writing during its Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. request window.

4. 4

   Check the release restrictions

   The form states that booking photos of defendants not arrested by the Midland County Sheriff’s Office, and certain people no longer in custody whose arrests did not result in conviction, will not be released through that process.

The Midland County Sheriff’s official Money Deposits page identifies TouchPay for eligible inmate-account deposits and bail payments. It distinguishes the fees for adding money to an inmate account from fees associated with self-release bail deposits.

Do not pay simply because a bond amount appears in the online roster. Confirm the current charge, the total amount, any other holds and the accepted payment route before making a transaction.

1. 1

   Find the current bond information

   Open Currently Held Detainees. Locate the correct person and review every charge and bond line. A blank or zero amount may require additional clarification from jail staff.

2. 2

   Check the detention center’s official payment instructions

   Go to Midland County Money Deposits. Under the Bail section, review the currently supported kiosk and TouchPay routes.

3. 3

   Ask whether any hold prevents release

   A person may have a parole violation, another county’s warrant, a federal detainer or several active charges. Call 432-688-4745 before assuming payment of one amount is sufficient.

4. 4

   Review the fee before authorizing payment

   The county publishes additional service fees for qualifying bail payments and warns that card transactions may carry a separate percentage charge. Check the live TouchPay screen for the exact total.

5. 5

   Keep the receipt and confirm release

   Record the payer, payment amount, transaction confirmation and date. Jail release processing is separate from payment approval.

Can a Midland County Cash Bond Be Refunded?

The Sheriff’s jail FAQ states that a cash bond for a case above a Class C misdemeanor may qualify for return after dismissal or resolution. It also says cash bonds are receipted to the defendant and that the defendant is the person who may receive the refund under the county’s described procedure.

If the criminal case was filed with a court, the Clerk holding the deposited bond may be responsible. When a matter was dismissed before filing or indictment, the jail may handle the refund. The county lists the cash-bond receipt, disposition paperwork and government-issued identification as required documents.

Midland County Jail uses video visitation. Its published regular visiting days are Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Visits are subject to inmate eligibility, identification and scheduling or operational limits.

Visitor Limits

The Sheriff’s official visiting page lists a maximum of two visitors per visiting day for each eligible inmate and a maximum of four total visits per week. Visits must occur on nonconsecutive days, and an individual visitor may visit only once per visiting day.

1. 1

   Verify that the inmate has visitation privileges

   The county notes that disciplinary restrictions can affect eligibility. The inmate creates their own visitation list; the inmate must request to add an approved visitor.

2. 2

   Review the county’s visitation page

   Read Midland County Inmate Visitation, including identification, clothing, child visitation and visit-limit requirements.

3. 3

   Confirm the visit location or remote-video method

   The county lists a separate Detention Visitor Center at 2106 A Street, Midland, TX 79705. It also identifies Securus as a remote-video provider. Confirm where and how your particular visit must occur before traveling.

4. 4

   Bring identification and follow security rules

   Do not bring phones, bags or other prohibited items into the visiting area. Children cannot be left unattended while adults visit.

5. 5

   Ask about special or attorney visitation separately

   Attorneys of record have different published visiting arrangements. The county lists private attorney visiting generally between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily, subject to operational and security restrictions.

Midland County separates an inmate’s cash account from phone calling accounts and bond payments. Use the correct service so money is credited to the intended purpose.

How To Make a TouchPay Deposit

1. 1

   Open Midland County’s Money Deposits page

   Begin at the official detention money page and follow its TouchPay link.

2. 2

   Select the correct facility and inmate

   Make sure the recipient is at Midland County Jail in Texas. Confirm all requested inmate information before entering payment details.

3. 3

   Choose the amount and review the service charge

   Midland County publishes tiered service fees for inmate-account deposits. Compare the final payment total with the amount that will actually be credited to the inmate.

4. 4

   Save the receipt

   Keep the date, amount and transaction reference. If funds do not appear, check the confirmation instead of immediately paying again.

5. 5

   Contact the correct support team if something goes wrong

   For an online or telephone TouchPay deposit problem, Midland County’s FAQ lists 866-204-1603 for customer support. For a kiosk issue, bring the receipt to the jail’s bonding area as directed by the county.

Midland County does not use the same address for ordinary personal inmate mail and legal correspondence. The Sheriff has routed personal correspondence through the Securus Digital Mail Center since July 18, 2019.

Why Midland County Inmate Mail Gets Returned

The Sheriff’s jail FAQ identifies several common reasons for returns, including an unreadable sender name or address, inappropriate photographs, self-stamped envelopes, blank sheets, calendars, puzzles and prohibited materials.

• Include the inmate’s full name and ID. Incomplete information can prevent delivery.
• Include your own return address. The county requires a readable sender name and address.
• Do not send money in a letter. Checks, cash and money orders are prohibited through the inmate-mail process.
• Do not send Polaroid photographs. Photos must comply with the jail’s content rules.
• Do not add stickers or glued decorations. The county restricts adhesive materials, glitter and similar attachments.
• Use approved book channels. Paperback books may be sent through authorized distributors under the county’s restrictions.

A jail listing is not the criminal case file. Texas assigns different criminal matters to District Courts, county-level courts, Justice Courts and municipal courts. The correct record source depends on the charge and where the case was filed.

Step-by-Step: Finding a Midland Criminal Case

1. 1

   Use the booking information to identify the case

   Record the person’s correct name, listed charge, warrant or case identifier, and court information from the current-detainee system. Do not assume every charge row has the same case number.

2. 2

   Choose the correct clerk

   Use the District Clerk for felony District Court records. Use the County Clerk for relevant misdemeanor County Court records.

3. 3

   For misdemeanor records, register in the public portal

   Open Search Public Court Records and follow the county’s link to the Tyler Odyssey portal. Create an account before using its available search functions.

4. 4

   Search using the available identifying details

   Use the party’s full name or case number when supported. Compare the record’s charge, filed date, court and case details before assuming it corresponds to the jail entry.

5. 5

   Review the docket and disposition

   Look for hearings, filed charges, orders or final disposition entries where publicly available. A dismissal of one count does not necessarily resolve every other listed count or warrant.

6. 6

   Request a certified document when required

   When an employer, attorney, court or agency requires official proof, ask the responsible Clerk which certified copy or disposition document can be supplied and whether fees apply.

If the person is no longer listed in jail or you need the underlying incident report, the next step is usually a public-records request. In Midland, the two main law-enforcement routes are the Midland County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Midland Police Department.

Requesting a Sheriff’s Arrest Report

1. 1

   Open the Sheriff’s Open Records page

   Go to Midland County Sheriff’s Open Records Request and access its Public Information Request Form.

2. 2

   Describe the specific incident

   Include the report type, incident date, location, case number if available and other details that help staff identify the record. A precise request is more useful than asking for every document involving a common name.

3. 3

   Submit through the Sheriff’s published contact route

   The Sheriff’s Open Records office currently lists the email mrecords@mcounty.com, fax 432-688-4972, and mailing/delivery address at 1703 East County Road 120, Building A, Midland, TX 79706.

4. 4

   Understand the ten-business-day procedure

   Midland County states that it has ten business days to release information, pursue an applicable extension or seek an Attorney General determination. This does not guarantee that every requested document must be released within ten days.

5. 5

   Review any fee, redaction or withholding notice

   Texas law may restrict confidential information. Ask whether an available non-confidential copy can satisfy your needs. Official copies, research or other services may have applicable charges.

Requesting a Midland Police Department Report

1. 1

   Open the City’s Request a Police Report page

   Start at Midland Police Report Request and choose the online incident/offense report option.

2. 2

   Provide the incident details

   Use the date, location, case number and relevant identifiers available to you. The city recommends submitting through its official request center.

3. 3

   Track the request

   The City’s Public Records Request Center supports status tracking and access to responsive documents where released.

4. 4

   Ask for help when needed

   Call Midland Police Records at 432-685-7145. For broader city public-record questions, the city lists 432-685-7257.

West Texas arrests can involve several agencies and courts. Someone arrested by Midland Police may be booked into Midland County Jail, but the police department still controls many of the original incident records. Someone arrested in Odessa may instead be in Ector County custody.

If the person has moved into the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system, the Midland County current-detainee list may no longer be the appropriate search. Likewise, if you need automatic custody-status alerts, the Sheriff’s jail FAQ directs users to VINE.

How To Check for a Release or Transfer

1. 1

   Refresh the Midland detainee search

   Check whether the person remains listed and whether the roster timestamp has changed.

2. 2

   Do not treat a missing name as release confirmation

   Transfer, data changes, name matching and other custody events can affect public results.

3. 3

   Use VINE if you need eligible notification services

   Start from the county’s detention page and follow its official VINE route.

4. 4

   Check TDCJ if state custody is likely

   Use the Texas offender search, not the Midland County roster, for an appropriate state correctional search.

5. 5

   Confirm urgent matters directly

   Call the relevant detention facility or state agency. Automated notification is helpful but should not be the sole basis for an urgent personal safety decision.

Searches for “Midland County jail recent arrests” can return results from both Texas and Michigan. These are completely separate criminal-justice systems.

1. Treating Current Detainees as a complete seven-day arrest log. Released individuals may no longer appear in the custody list.
2. Ignoring the roster timestamp. Online custody information can change after the displayed update.
3. Assuming every charge row is a new booking. One detainee may have several arrest dates, warrants or court cases.
4. Equating a reported disposition with a certified court result. Verify the actual case through the responsible Clerk.
5. Confusing bond and fines. They represent different legal and financial obligations.
6. Paying one listed bond without checking additional holds. Other cases may prevent release.
7. Using TouchPay inmate deposits instead of bail payment. The service has separate transaction categories and fees.
8. Arriving on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday expecting normal visiting hours. The county’s published regular visiting days are Saturday through Tuesday.
9. Mailing ordinary inmate letters to the legal-mail address. General correspondence uses the Tampa Securus scanning center.
10. Using a Michigan Midland County roster for a Texas jail search. Check the state and official website.
