Martin County Jail Mugshots Overview
Martin County's official public mugshot channel is the Kologik Public Jail Roster linked for agency ORI TX1590000. The roster is operated for the Martin County Sheriff's Office and is used for current county jail custody. The research inspection found that the roster's public-photo setting was not hidden. The Kologik app loads a booking photo through a photo endpoint tied to the person's CCN, which is the custody control number used by the roster.
No official Martin County recent-bookings gallery, daily booking PDF, or long-term public mugshot archive was located. The roster does include RECENT BOOKINGS and ALL controls, plus A-Z letter buttons and a Name Filter. Martin County's history-mode endpoint returned "N" during research, so public past-five-day or past-ten-day history was not exposed. A current roster card may show a photo, but the official sources did not state how long a photo remains visible after release.
Find Martin County Jail Mugshots
The roster should be searched as a current jail roster, not as a commercial mugshot site. It is a JavaScript app with card-style records. A user can choose RECENT BOOKINGS, ALL, or a letter button, then filter by name. If a photo is available, it appears on the roster card with the person's booking information. If the image request fails, the app can substitute a no-photo placeholder.
The Martin County Kologik roster is the direct source for current booking-photo display.
Use that roster screenshot as a guide to the official current-custody interface, not as proof that every person will have a visible photo.
- Open the Kologik roster with JavaScript enabled and let the Martin County Sheriff's Office roster load.
- Select RECENT BOOKINGS, ALL, or the first-letter control for the person's last name.
- Use Name Filter to narrow visible cards by last, first, or middle name.
- Read the roster card for the photo, booking date, arresting agency, charges, warrant number, and bond.
- If the photo is missing, the person is released, or an older image is needed, send a written public-information request to the sheriff's office.
Martin County Booking Photo Fields
A Martin County booking photo is only one part of the roster card. Research on the public current roster API found fields for name, CCN, arrest date, booking date, days jailed, physical descriptors, arresting agency, public address when populated, charges, warrant numbers, and bond. Full birth dates were not shown in the inspected sample records. The roster displayed birth year and age instead.
| Roster field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | Current roster image loaded for the CCN when a public photo is available. |
| Name and CCN | Booked name plus the custody control number used by photo and roster logic. |
| Arrest and booking dates | Separate arrest and intake timestamps when populated by the jail record. |
| Physical descriptors | Race, sex, age, birth year, height, weight, eyes, and hair. |
| Charges and bond | Charge code, charge text, warrant number, bond amount, or "No Bond." |
| Arresting agency | Examples in the research included Martin County Sheriff's Office and Stanton Police Department. |
Are Martin County Mugshots Public?
Texas does not have one simple rule that every mugshot must always appear online. Martin County jail mugshots are handled through the jail roster settings, the Texas Public Information Act, and criminal justice record rules. Current roster photos are public when the roster displays them, but records can be withheld or redacted for reasons such as juvenile status, expunction, sealing, active investigation concerns, or other confidentiality rules.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.26 requires certain warrant and arrest information, including the arrested person's name and the charged offense, to be made public after a warrant is executed. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is the Texas Public Information Act and is the baseline for requesting records from a government office. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 109 addresses business practices involving publication and removal of criminal record information, which is separate from the official county roster.
Key statutes: Chapter 552 supports written public-information requests to the sheriff. Article 15.26 addresses public access to executed warrant and arrest information. Occupations Code Chapter 109 concerns private criminal-record publishing practices, not the county's official roster display.
What Martin County Photos Show
A roster photo identifies the booking record attached to a current inmate card. It is not a conviction record, a court finding, or a full criminal-history report. The roster card may show booking charges, but formal court charges can change after prosecutor review. For filed case status, use court records after an arrest, not the booking photo alone.
What is and is not public: Current roster cards may show a booking photo and booking fields. Older photos, juvenile records, sealed records, expunged records, and restricted law-enforcement records may require a request or may be withheld.
Note: A missing photo does not prove the person was not booked. It can also mean no image loaded, the person is no longer public on the roster, or the record is restricted.
Request Martin County Booking Photos
Official Martin County sources did not locate a sheriff-published jail-records form, booking-photo fee schedule, or online photo request portal. The practical route is a written request under the Texas Public Information Act to the Martin County Sheriff's Office. The request should identify the person, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency if known, CCN or warrant number if shown on Kologik, and the exact record requested, such as "booking photograph" or "jail booking record."
For arrests made by Stanton Police Department, the person may still be booked into the Martin County Jail. The city police page describes an open-records process and lists Maribel Samora as a police records contact at 432-756-3303 or msamora@ci.stanton.tx.us. The research notes that if Stanton Police asks follow-up questions to locate records, a requester who does not respond after 10 business days may have the request treated as withdrawn.
- Use the sheriff for Martin County jail booking records and jail booking photographs.
- Use Stanton Police for city police reports or police-held records tied to a Stanton arrest.
- Ask for electronic copies if acceptable and request a cost estimate before copies are produced.
- Do not rely on third-party directories for official photo access, fees, or removal instructions.
Mugshot Removal and Expunction
Martin County official sources did not publish a local mugshot-removal policy. If a case is expunged, sealed, dismissed with an eligible order, or otherwise restricted, use the court order with the agency or records custodian that controls the record. For the official roster, that means the sheriff's office or its roster vendor process. For filed case records, that means the court and clerk. For a broader record-clearing path, review the Martin County court records after arrest process.
Do not pay or rely on commercial mugshot-publishing sites to change an official county record. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 109 addresses some private criminal-record publication and removal business practices, but it does not replace the need for a valid court order or public-records request. Official county records are controlled by the originating agency, the court, and Texas public-record law.
State and Federal Photo Differences
Martin County jail mugshots are county booking photos. They are different from state-prison offender records, federal custody records, and immigration detention records. If a Martin County defendant is sentenced and transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, search the TDCJ inmate information system instead of the county jail roster. TDCJ records are state-prison records, not county booking cards.
No BOP facility and no ICE detention facility were located in Martin County. The BOP Inmate Locator and ICE Online Detainee Locator System are custody locators, not public mugshot galleries. A federal pretrial detainee may also be in U.S. Marshals custody or held under contract in a facility that does not appear as a Martin County public roster photo.
