This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency or court directly for those services.
Official Dawson Record Paths
For a current custody question or a written request for an existing booking record, begin with the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff page does not publish a separate records line, records email, booking-photo fee, or response-time promise, so call before sending a request or visiting.
Dawson County Sheriff’s Office
Sheriff: Matt Hogg
Mail: P.O. Box 1268
Lamesa, TX 79331-1268
Phone: 806-872-7560
Fax: 806-872-9396
Official contact: Dawson County Sheriff
The county lists the courthouse at 400 S. 1st Street, Lamesa, while historical and directory material identifies a sheriff/jail location at 401 South 2nd Street. Confirm the physical records location with the sheriff before an in-person visit. For current status, use the sheriff-linked VINELink path; it is a custody-status service, not a verified Dawson photo search.
- For an existing booking record or photograph, use the Dawson records-request path and identify the person, date range, agency, and booking number if known.
- For a warrant-status question, call the sheriff and then the appropriate court or clerk. The Most Wanted Fugitives page explains the safe confirmation path.
- For an arrest that may still be in custody, check VINELink and call the sheriff because Dawson has no verified public same-day booking feed.
- For a court disposition, use the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice of the Peace, or city court associated with the case rather than an arrest listing.
- For state custody, use the TDCJ Inmate Search; for federal or immigration detention, use the BOP or ICE locator.
