OpenArrest is an online resource for searching recent arrest and booking records across multiple Texas counties. Its live booking search lets users look up records by name, charge, or booking number, with listings that may include the reported charge, bond amount, arresting agency, booking details, and custody status. The site says its information is drawn from official county jail rosters and is updated continuously; it also displays recent update times and statewide arrest activity.

Users can narrow results by county, date range, charge, or penalty classification, and sort bookings by bail amount. Coverage shown includes Bexar, Dallas, Harris, Tarrant, and Travis counties, with agencies such as local police departments also identified in individual listings. OpenArrest provides summaries of frequently listed charges and links to broader charge information. For people who want ongoing updates, the service offers free email alerts when a matching name or selected charge appears in a county.
