All arrests in Texas County are processed here. The sheriff's deputies, Houston PD, Cabool PD, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol all bring arrestees to this jail for intake.
The booking process follows standard Missouri procedures. Officers take a mugshot and fingerprints. Personal details are recorded. Charges are entered. A booking number is assigned. Bond is set. The whole process creates a public record that anyone can access under the Sunshine Law.
