Check McCamey Criminal Records

McCamey Criminal History Checks

McCamey does not publish one city criminal-history portal. A useful search begins by naming the event: a police incident, a city citation, a JP ticket, a booking, or a filed county case. The date, place, report or citation number, and record sought will help the custodian locate the right file. Keep the request narrow, and ask for an electronic copy or an estimate before costs rise.

1. Call McCamey City Hall at (432) 652-3333 to identify the police-report custodian or Municipal Court contact.
2. Submit a written request for the city police incident or arrest record, using the date, time, location, and report number if known.
3. Check McCamey Municipal Court for city ordinances and fine-only state cases, or JP3 and JP4 for their own citations and warrants.
4. Call Upton jail for current custody, then search the county clerk's Tyler portal for filed Class A/B misdemeanor or felony cases.
5. Use the Texas DPS public name search only for statewide public conviction and deferred-adjudication information, not as proof of a recent arrest.

The broader Upton County criminal history overview explains how the county clerk and DPS repository differ. At city altitude, the key is choosing among McCamey's three local court channels before moving north to Rankin.

Start McCamey Records at City Hall

McCamey City Hall is at 207 East 6th Street, P.O. Box 1409, McCamey, TX 79752. The main line is (432) 652-3333, and published hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The city does not list a dedicated police-records unit page, public request form, fee schedule, arrest blotter, mobile app, or crime map.

Ask City Hall for the designated public-information address and the current McCamey Police records custodian. The main line also routes Municipal Court questions. Do not send a date of birth or other sensitive identifier by ordinary email until the office gives instructions.

Records at the McCamey Police Department

McCamey Police creates incident, offense, and arrest reports for events in city jurisdiction. A request may seek an incident report, arrest report, CAD entry, 911 audio, or body-worn-camera record. Give the approximate date and time, location, report number if known, and the precise record type. A written request under the Texas Public Information Act triggers the statutory process; a phone call helps locate the custodian but is not the request itself.

No official city page states the police report fee, expected production time, or release form. Active-investigation material, juvenile information, protected victim facts, and personal identifiers may be withheld or redacted. Basic facts about an arrest or crime are treated differently under Government Code §552.108(c), but another confidentiality law can still control. A partial release or redaction does not mean the event never occurred.

Note: McCamey publishes no online police-report form, so confirm the designated written channel with City Hall before sending a request.

Request a McCamey Incident Record

A clear request asks for existing McCamey records instead of answers to questions. It should be broad enough to identify the event but narrow enough for city staff to search. State whether inspection is acceptable and whether an electronic copy is preferred. Ask for an itemized estimate if charges may exceed a set amount.

Body-camera requests can have special specificity and cost rules under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1701. Describe the event with care. If the event was a highway crash rather than a city police incident, the TxDOT CRIS system may be the proper report source.

Booking and Arrest Records in McCamey

McCamey does not publish evidence of a long-term city holding facility or an official arrest blotter. A McCamey arrest can begin with the city police report, then move into Upton County custody at the sheriff's jail in Rankin. Call the jail at (432) 693-2422 for current custody and bond routing. Request the underlying city report from McCamey Police through City Hall.

The booking record and the police report answer different questions. Booking records cover intake, custody, booked charges, bond, and release or transfer. The incident report covers the officer's account and investigation. A prosecutor can later reject, amend, or replace the booked allegation. The filed case may therefore use different charge language.

For a complete event trail, obtain the McCamey report, seek the sheriff booking record, and then use the Upton County court case lookup once charges have been filed. Filing can lag an arrest.

Note: A person can leave Upton County custody before the related McCamey charge appears in a searchable court file.

McCamey Sheriff's Substation Role

The Upton County sheriff maintains a substation at 108 West 5th Street, McCamey, TX 79752, with telephone (432) 652-8222. It gives southern-county residents a nearby sheriff contact, but the county does not say that the substation is the custodian for reports or booking files. Treat it as a routing point unless staff confirms otherwise.

The same address houses JP Precincts 3 and 4. The official Upton justice-court directory publishes each precinct's contact and hours. That grouping can make the building seem like one record counter, though each office has a distinct role. Sheriff staff handle law-enforcement routing. The two JPs keep their own fine-only case and warrant records. County jail files remain tied to the Rankin jail ecosystem.

The McCamey Municipal Court File

The McCamey municipal-court ordinance creates a city court with exclusive original jurisdiction over city-ordinance criminal cases and the state-law jurisdiction assigned to municipal courts. In practical terms, it covers ordinance violations and generally fine-only Class C matters. The city attorney prosecutes. A six-person jury is available.

The ordinance states that the clerk keeps minutes and issues process. It also describes preservation of a proceeding record for twenty days after the relevant final event, or until an appeal is final, whichever is later. The Office of Court Administration directory lists mayor@mccameycity.com as the court email, but call City Hall to verify the current clerk and safe way to submit identifiers.

The assigned official image comes from the McCamey court ordinance source.

The ordinance view supports the court's local jurisdiction and record duties, while the clerk remains the contact for a specific McCamey case.

When calling, provide the citation or cause number first. A full name, permitted date-of-birth detail, offense, and event date can help staff distinguish similar entries. Ask whether the requested docket item, judgment, or recording is still retained and whether a copy can be sent electronically. The ordinance's short proceeding-record rule makes an early request important, but it does not define the retention period for every document in the Municipal Court case file.

Note: Confirm the current clerk and retention status before relying on an older McCamey Municipal Court proceeding record.

McCamey Warrant Record Expenses

McCamey's ordinance authorizes a $25 expense for issuing and serving a failure-to-appear arrest warrant. It also authorizes a separate $25 expense for issuing and serving an arrest warrant after notice to appear for trial. These figures do not establish the total amount due in a case, and current state-law effects should be confirmed with the court.

Do not try to clear a McCamey warrant from an online payment link alone. Call the issuing court, confirm the cause number and balance, and ask whether appearance, bond, a payment plan, or another step is required. Get written confirmation after resolution because a warrant database can lag the court's action.

McCamey Courts Split the Records

Three lower-court channels operate in McCamey. A city ordinance or Municipal Court citation belongs with the city court. JP Precinct 3 and JP Precinct 4 keep their own fine-only and traffic matters, magistrate records, and warrants. Each JP is at 108 West 5th Street and publishes 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. hours. JP3 can be reached at (432) 652-4230; JP4 at (432) 652-3536.

Class A or B misdemeanors proceed to Upton County Court, while felonies belong to the 112th District Court. Those filed records are kept by the combined District/County Clerk in Rankin. A no-result in one local channel does not rule out a record in another. The citation, complaint, warrant notice, or case number usually identifies the court.

How McCamey Records Reach the County

A McCamey officer first creates the incident and arrest record. Upton sheriff personnel create the booking and custody file when the person enters county jail. A magistrate addresses warnings and bond. Prosecutors decide what charge to pursue, and the appropriate clerk opens the court file. Reportable fingerprints and later dispositions can then reach the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division.

Record flow: McCamey Police › Upton County custody and courts › Texas Department of Public Safety

Recent activity is most likely to be found with McCamey Police or the jail. A filed case belongs with the correct municipal, justice, county, or district clerk. The DPS public name product comes later and exposes authorized statewide conviction and deferred-adjudication information, not every city report.

McCamey Oil Roads Shape Records

McCamey grew during the 1920s oil boom and remains Upton County's larger incorporated city. The Texas Demographic Center estimated 1,805 residents on January 1, 2022, after a 2020 census count of 1,831. Oilfield roads and long travel to Rankin help explain why the sheriff substation and two JP offices sit in McCamey.

A road event can involve McCamey Police, the Upton sheriff, or a Texas DPS trooper, depending on place and jurisdiction. It can then create a county booking, a JP or higher-court file, and a DPS transaction. Confirm the arresting agency before requesting a report. Official current city crime counts were not available in a static report, so any FBI Crime Data Explorer query must identify the agency, year, and reporting coverage.

Note: Partial FBI reporting should not be treated as a complete McCamey crime trend or compared across unmatched years.

McCamey Record Access Rules

City police records are requested under the Texas Public Information Act, while Municipal Court judicial files follow court access law and clerk procedure. Public does not mean unredacted. Active investigations, juvenile and victim data, personal identifiers, expunged records, and nondisclosed criminal history can be restricted. Ask the record-holding office for the existing file and the reason for any redaction.

For McCamey records, send the police request to the city-designated channel, ask the Municipal Court clerk for its case file, and route county cases to the combined Upton clerk. Each office can only release the record it maintains.
