Maverick County Jail Mugshots Status
No Maverick County official jail roster, recent-bookings gallery, or mugshot page was located on the county website in official sources reviewed. That fact should guide the search. The county should not be described as publishing booking photos online when official sources did not show a public gallery or profile layout. A booking photograph may exist in the internal jail booking record, but public access depends on the county's records process and any Texas law exception that applies.
Tom Bowles Detention Center is the sheriff-operated county jail. Call 830-773-2321 to confirm whether the person is in custody, whether the jail will release booking-photo information, and whether the request should be sent to openrecords@co.maverick.tx.us. If the person was held under federal authority at Eagle Pass Detention Facility, the county jail may not control the photo or record. BOP and ICE tools are not mugshot galleries.
Request Maverick County Booking Photos
The most accurate workflow starts with identity and custody. Before requesting a photo, gather the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, arresting agency, and any case number. Then confirm whether the person was booked into Tom Bowles or held under another authority. This prevents a county request from being sent for a federal or immigration detainee record the county does not control.
- Call 830-773-2321 and ask whether the person was booked into Tom Bowles Detention Center.
- Ask whether the jail releases booking photos and whether any status limits apply.
- If a written request is needed, email openrecords@co.maverick.tx.us with a specific request for the booking photograph or booking record.
- Include full name, date of birth if known, booking date, arresting agency, and case number if available.
- If the person was in federal or immigration custody, use BOP, ICE ODLS, facility, or USMS channels instead.
The Maverick County Open Records Request page gives the local request route and tells requesters to describe records as specifically as possible.
That records request page is more relevant than an unofficial mugshot site because it points to the county process that controls releasable records.
Maverick County Booking Photo Fields
A booking photo is normally a front-facing image taken during intake. It may be paired with identity, booking, charge, and bond details. For Maverick County, those public fields were not confirmed in an official online roster profile, so the safer approach is to ask for the record and avoid claiming a specific public layout.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | Intake image if the county created and releases it. |
| Name and aliases | Identity tied to the booking record. |
| Date of birth or age | Identifier that helps separate similar names. |
| Booking date | When the person entered jail custody. |
| Charges at booking | Initial allegations before court filing changes. |
| Bond or hold status | Release condition, no-bond status, warrant, detainer, or transfer hold. |
Are Maverick County Mugshots Public
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, gives the public a right to request government records unless an exception applies. That does not mean every law-enforcement image must be released in every case. Section 552.108 can apply to some law-enforcement information tied to active investigation or prosecution, and other privacy or confidentiality rules may limit release.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is the public-records framework for requesting Maverick County booking records.
Texas Government Code section 552.108 can limit release of some law-enforcement information.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 109 addresses commercial publication of criminal record information and removal-related conduct.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 controls expunction of certain criminal records.
Mugshot Roster Retention Limits
Maverick County did not publish a roster retention rule, recent-bookings archive, or photo-removal schedule in the official materials reviewed. That means no page should claim that a Maverick County mugshot stays online for a set number of hours or days. If a photo was released before a case changed, the next step depends on the custodian of that photo and any court order or expunction order.
What is and isn't public: A booking photo may be requestable, but no official Maverick County online mugshot gallery was found. Federal BOP and ICE locators are not public mugshot sources.
Maverick County Mugshot Removal
Mugshot removal should be handled through official records and court orders, not commercial pay-to-remove claims. If a case was dismissed, expunged, or otherwise cleared, the person should follow the legal process for the record involved. Chapter 55 is the Texas expunction route identified in the research. An expunction order may need to be presented to agencies or publishers as directed by the order.
Commercial publishing is a separate issue under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 109. That law addresses businesses that publish criminal-record information and charge or solicit fees for removal. It does not create a reason to trust a private mugshot site. For court-record clearing after a dismissal or eligible outcome, use the Maverick County court records after arrest route and the correct clerk.
State Federal Booking Photos
TDCJ profile photos are different from Maverick County booking photos. TDCJ covers sentenced Texas prisoners after transfer and may show a prison profile photo on some public profiles. That image is tied to state prison custody, not to the original county jail intake photo. The TDCJ locator is updated on working days and is at least 24 hours old.
Federal agencies are different again. The BOP locator shows fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location, but it does not publish mugshots through the public locator. ICE ODLS identifies immigration detention status and is not a photo gallery. USMS pretrial detainees may be housed in contract facilities, including Eagle Pass Detention Facility, but no general public USMS mugshot gallery applies to a Maverick County search.
Booking Photo Request Wording
A narrow request helps the county locate the record. Ask for the booking photograph and booking record for a named person, tied to an approximate booking date and arresting agency. Include your name, email, and phone because the Maverick County open-records instructions require contact information. Do not ask for every record about a person unless that broad scope is truly needed, because broad requests can slow review.
