About this data
Bookings are matched to this page by the home address the person gave at booking. The county report doesn’t list the arresting agency or where the arrest happened. Anyone who listed Watauga as home counts here, wherever they were booked; people who listed another home city don’t. A booking is not a conviction; everyone listed is presumed innocent. Data: DJR archive of public Tarrant County booking reports, Sep 26 – Oct 25, 2026 (Sep 12 missing).
