Galveston County Jail

When individuals arrive at the Galveston County Jail their paperwork is checked for completeness. If the paperwork is complete/free of errors that individual is placed at the back of the current booking queue. When missing paperwork or errors are found then we advise the arresting officer to correct the problem. Once the paperwork is to standard that individual is placed at the back queue to be booked. The booking process is many questions long, involves mugshots, and fingerprints most of the time. If for some reason the individual is not compliant with the process they are moved to the back of the booking queue. This is done to keep the process expedient and moving.
