Lamb County 24 Hour Booking Database

Lamb County 24 hour booking records are kept at the Sheriff's Office in Littlefield. This West Texas county sits on the South Plains near Lubbock and has a population of around 13,000. The jail handles all arrest bookings for the county, running around the clock. You can reach the Sheriff's Office by phone to ask about a current inmate or visit in person for records from past bookings.

Lamb County Sheriff and Jail Booking

The Lamb County Sheriff's Office operates the jail in Littlefield and manages all booking activity. Deputies patrol the county while jail staff handle intake processing. When someone is arrested anywhere in Lamb County, they end up at this jail for booking. The county covers flat agricultural land on the South Plains, with Littlefield, Olton, Sudan, and Earth as the main towns.

Booking starts the moment a person arrives. Staff record personal details, take fingerprints and a photo, and enter each charge. The system tracks everything from the time of arrival through the charges filed. Lamb County works with local police departments in Littlefield and other towns, and those agencies bring their arrests to the county jail for processing.

How to Search Lamb County Booking Records

The simplest way to check on a Lamb County booking is to call (806) 385-5662. Jail staff can tell you if someone is in custody and give you basic arrest details. For older records or copies you can take with you, visit the office in Littlefield during business hours. Have your ID ready and know the name of the person you are looking for.

Lamb County does not operate an online inmate search. For statewide searches, the Texas DPS Crime Records Service covers all 254 counties. It costs $3 per search and shows convictions and deferred adjudications. This tool picks up Lamb County arrests that resulted in a guilty outcome.

You can also submit a written request under the Texas Public Information Act. Address your request to the Lamb County Sheriff's Office and include the person's name and arrest date if you have it. The office has 10 business days to respond. Copy fees may apply.

Lamb County Booking and Intake Process

Every arrest in Lamb County triggers the same booking steps. The person is identified, fingerprinted, and photographed. Charges go into the system one by one with the arresting officer's name, the time, and the location. Personal items are inventoried. Medical screening takes place during intake because the Texas Commission on Jail Standards requires it.

Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17, the arrested person must see a magistrate within 48 hours. The magistrate hearing adds to the booking file. Bail gets set, rights are explained, and the case starts moving through the court system. All of this is recorded and stays on file at the Sheriff's Office.

Note: Lamb County is close to Lubbock, and some cases may involve coordination between the two counties depending on where the arrest happened.

Lamb County Booking Records Online

While Lamb County does not have its own online search, the Texas Department of Public Safety runs a statewide tool that covers criminal history from every county. The screenshot below shows the DPS portal.

Type in a name and date of birth, pay $3, and get results in seconds. The public search covers convictions only. Arrests that did not end in a conviction are not part of the public database. For those records, contact the Lamb County Sheriff's Office directly.

Criminal History from Lamb County Arrests

Texas Government Code Chapter 411 requires every Texas county to report arrest data to the DPS central database. Lamb County follows this rule. When someone is booked at the jail in Littlefield, that arrest feeds into the statewide system. The public can access conviction data. Law enforcement sees the full record.

If you need details beyond what DPS provides, the Lamb County booking log is where you look. It has the original intake data, including the time the person was brought in, the charges at the time of booking (which may differ from what was eventually filed in court), and the arresting officer's information. These details give a more complete picture than the DPS summary.

Errors in the statewide record can be corrected through the DPS Error Resolution Unit. You submit documents showing the correct data, and DPS updates the entry. It takes some time but it is the right process.
