Irving 24 Hour Booking
Irving 24 hour booking records are created by the Irving Police Department at their facility on O'Connor Road. Irving sits in Dallas County and has about 240,000 residents. The city runs its own jail with an online inmate search portal, which makes it one of the easier places in the DFW area to look up current bookings. People held in the Irving jail can be searched by name through the IPD website. For longer holds, inmates transfer to the Dallas County Jail. If you need to find someone recently arrested in Irving, start with the city's inmate search tool. You can also call the jail directly at (972) 721-2625.
Irving Overview
Irving Police Booking and Jail
The Irving Police Department operates from 305 N. O'Connor Road. The city jail is at the same address. IPD processes all city arrests here. Staff take mugshots, collect fingerprints, and log the charges into the booking system. The jail is a short-term holding facility, but Irving keeps inmates longer than some other city jails in the area.
Irving's online inmate search lets you look up people currently in the city jail. Go to the Irving Police Department website and find the jail inmate search link. Enter a last name and the system shows matching results. Each entry lists the person's name, booking date, and charges. The tool only shows current inmates. Once someone bonds out or transfers to Dallas County, the record drops off.

How Irving Booking Works
After an arrest in Irving, the person goes to the city jail on O'Connor Road. Booking takes a few hours depending on how busy things are. The standard steps happen: fingerprints, mugshot, personal info, and charges get recorded. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17, the arrested person sees a magistrate within 48 hours. That hearing sets bail and formally notifies the person of their charges.
Irving is part of Dallas County. For more serious charges or longer holds, inmates go to the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, which is the main Dallas County jail. The Dallas County Sheriff posts booking data online too, so if someone is not in the Irving system, check Dallas County next. The transfer usually happens within a day or two of the initial booking.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards oversees both the Irving city jail and the Dallas County facility. TCJS inspects jails, sets standards for inmate care, and publishes population data for every detention facility in Texas.
Note: People booked on federal charges in Irving may be transferred to federal holding rather than the county jail.
Irving Booking Records Access
Texas law gives you access to booking records. The Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, requires agencies to release basic arrest info. Names, charges, booking dates, and bond amounts are public. You do not need to state a reason when asking for these records. Anyone can request them.
The screenshot below shows the Texas DPS website where you can run statewide criminal history searches that include Irving arrests.
The DPS criminal history tool covers convictions from every Texas county, including those originating in Irving and Dallas County.
For statewide searches, the Texas DPS conviction database costs $3 per name. It shows convictions and deferred adjudications but not same-day bookings. The TDCJ Offender Search is free and covers people in state prison. Texas Law Help has guides on understanding criminal records and clearing your history. If an agency will not release records, the Texas Attorney General has a hotline at (877) 673-6839.
Irving Municipal Court and Bookings
The Irving Municipal Court shares the address at 305 N. O'Connor Road. Call (972) 721-2652 for court questions. This court handles Class C misdemeanors. Most of those cases involve traffic tickets and minor violations. People cited for Class C offenses usually get a ticket, not a trip to jail. But outstanding warrants on Class C cases can result in an arrest and booking.
More serious offenses go to the Dallas County courts. Government Code Chapter 411 explains how criminal history gets compiled from these different court levels at the state level. Both the municipal court and the county courts create records, but they are stored in separate systems.
