Titus County Overview
Titus County Arrest Records
The Titus County Sheriff's Office is the primary custodian of arrest records in the county. Their facility in Mount Pleasant handles all jail operations and booking procedures. The Mount Pleasant Police Department also makes arrests within the city, but those bookings go through the county jail for charges above a Class C misdemeanor. DPS troopers patrolling Interstate 30 bring their arrests here too. Every booking creates a record that the public can access.
Titus County provides mugshots as part of its arrest records. This is not something every small county does, but Titus County has made this data available. Mugshots, along with the person's name, charges, and bond amount, form the basic arrest record. The sheriff's office maintains these files and shares them under the Texas Public Information Act.

Anyone can ask for this data, and no reason is needed.

But standard adult arrest records in Titus County are public. The Texas Attorney General resolves disputes when an agency denies a valid public records request.

Titus County Booking Process
After an arrest, the person is taken to the Titus County Jail in Mount Pleasant. The booking process records personal data, collects fingerprints, and takes a mugshot. A medical screening is done to check for any health concerns. The arresting officer's report gets filed with the booking record. This whole file becomes part of the public arrest record that anyone can request.
A magistrate sets bond after the booking. Cash bonds, surety bonds, and personal recognizance bonds are all options depending on the charge. For minor misdemeanors, people often bond out within a few hours. Felony charges mean higher bonds and more time in custody. Titus County is part of the 76th Judicial District. Felony cases are heard in the district court while the county court handles misdemeanor charges.
Northeast Texas Health Services and other local organizations sometimes provide resources for people dealing with the court system. Legal aid offices in the Texarkana and Tyler areas serve Titus County residents who cannot afford an attorney. The Mount Pleasant area also has bail bond agents who can help with the release process for people who qualify for a surety bond.
