Recent Arrests and Texas Law
Basic arrest facts are public under the Texas Public Information Act.

These facts are public even while the case is still active.
Juvenile records stay sealed. Expunged records under Chapter 55 of the Code of Criminal Procedure get removed from public databases. Nondisclosure orders also block access.
