Gustine Criminal History Checks
Start a Gustine record check by identifying the creating agency. For a local Gustine law-enforcement event, the official town public-safety page directs Gustine residents to the Comanche County Sheriff. For current Gustine custody, use the county jail roster and phone. A fine-only citation should name the issuing agency and court. Higher filed charges belong with the County or District Clerk. The Texas DPS public search adds public statewide conviction and deferred-adjudication information, but it does not replace those local layers.
Gustine has no verified city police portal, police records unit, municipal court search, or city jail. The correct process is shorter once those nonexistent stops are removed. Keep the incident date, place, issuing agency, local ID, citation number, and court docket number together as the record moves.
- Contact the Comanche County Sheriff for the Sheriff-created incident or arrest report.
- Check the Comanche County jail roster and call the jail when the event involved custody.
- Read a fine-only citation and contact the named court, which may be the county Justice of the Peace.
- Use the County Clerk for Class A or B misdemeanors and the District Clerk for felonies.
- Use Texas DPS for the public statewide extract, or fingerprint self-review for an identity-confirmed personal record.
Gustine Has No City Police Records
The official Gustine public-safety page lists no town police department and directs law enforcement to the Comanche County Sheriff at 325-356-7533. Emergency calls go to 911. The Sheriff, not City Hall, creates the law-enforcement report for a Sheriff response in Gustine.
This is useful Gustine information. A Gustine requester does not need to hunt for a police blotter, police app, or unlisted city records unit. None was verified. Contact the Sheriff at 300 Industrial Boulevard in Comanche, or use fax 325-356-3783 for a focused Gustine request after confirming the current process. No dedicated Sheriff portal, named records manager, report fee, or guaranteed turnaround was published.
Law Enforcement Records for Gustine
The Comanche County Sheriff holds reports its deputies create in Gustine and rural parts of the county. A precise Gustine request should include the incident date or range, location, report or booking number if known, involved person where appropriate, and the exact item requested. Ask for the basic Gustine incident or arrest report, CAD or 911 material, booking sheet, photograph, video, or warrant information by name.
Active-investigation material, juvenile details, victim identities, and confidential identifiers may be withheld or redacted. Do not ask City Hall to supply a deputy's narrative. If a state trooper or game warden made the record, that state agency remains the custodian even when the event occurred near Gustine.

Gustine City Records Versus Sheriff Reports
Gustine City Hall is at 201 E. Main, with mail sent to P.O. Box 145, Gustine, TX 76455. The city phone is 325-667-7933. Its general contact form asks for first name, last name, email, and a question or comment, then uses reCAPTCHA and a Submit A Request button.
That Gustine form is an administrative inquiry channel. It is not a Sheriff report portal. Use it for a Gustine municipal record or to ask Gustine City Hall where a town administrative file is held. For an offense, arrest, deputy response, warrant service, or related Gustine law-enforcement record, contact the Sheriff. The distinction follows who created and maintains the record, not the Gustine mailing address where an event occurred.
Booking and Arrest Records in Gustine
Gustine has no local jail. A person taken into county custody may appear on the Comanche County Jail Charge Roster, a dated PDF rather than a live query. It can show a local ID, custody class, housing, arrest and booking dates, alleged charge, bond, holds, arresting agency and ORI, court, and docket status.
Call the jail at 325-356-2333 to confirm present Gustine custody because the roster is printed and replaced. Request the source Gustine incident or arrest report from the Sheriff when a deputy made the arrest. The jail holds booking and custody data, not the full probable-cause narrative. A Gustine roster term such as UNFILED, UNINDICTED, or No docket number can mean no court case exists yet.
An allegation on the Gustine-related roster is not a conviction. The prosecutor may reject, change, or dismiss it, and the filed court charge may use different wording.
Gustine Records Use the County Jail
The official county jail page links the latest Charge Roster and supplies custody services. A Gustine searcher should use PDF Find by name, note the printed time, and record the local ID, arrest date, agency, alleged charge, bond, holds, and docket status. Then call the jail before relying on the snapshot.
Custody route: Gustine-area Sheriff event › Comanche County Jail › prosecutor review › proper county court.
If the roster lists another agency, request the report from that agency. Holds may also come from other jurisdictions, so presence in the county jail does not prove that the event took place inside Gustine. Once the record shows transfer to state custody, use the TDCJ Online Inmate Search rather than the local jail roster.
Gustine Citation and JP Records
No Gustine municipal court appeared in the town directory or official state court sources. Read the citation. Sheriff, DPS, and constable fine-only matters generally route to the Comanche County Justice of the Peace, but the issuing paper and official case control. The JP is at 215 N. Houston Street in Comanche and can be reached at 325-356-3543.
| Local Municipal Court | No Gustine municipal court was verified |
|---|---|
| Likely Fine-Only Route | The court named on the citation, commonly the county Justice of the Peace for qualifying Sheriff, DPS, or constable matters |
| Case Lookup Channel | Read the citation, call the named court, and use UCMS only where that case is included |
| What the Court File Shows | Citation identity, filed allegation, settings, plea, orders, payment or compliance events, and disposition when recorded |
| Copies & Fees | No Gustine city court fee exists in the research; confirm any copy charge with the named court |
Do not redirect a Gustine citation to a municipal portal that was never found. A Class A or B misdemeanor goes to County Court, and a felony goes to the 220th Judicial District Court.
When Gustine Has No Court Lookup
Start with the paper citation or official notice. Identify the issuing agency, court name, citation number, and appearance terms. Call that named court to confirm whether the case is open and which search or copy channel applies. For a likely JP matter, use the county Justice of the Peace contact rather than a nearby city's municipal site.
If the Gustine citation is lost, contact the issuing agency first. A Sheriff report or jail record may identify the Gustine event, but neither replaces the court file. For jailable charges, search UCMS and contact the County or District Clerk based on the offense level. This Gustine route avoids inventing a court and keeps the record tied to the office with jurisdiction.
How Gustine Records Reach the County
Gustine's justice path begins at county altitude because the town uses Sheriff law enforcement. The Sheriff creates the incident or arrest report. The county jail creates booking data when there is custody. The JP, County Clerk, or District Clerk maintains the court layer based on the citation and charge. Eligible arrest and disposition events later feed the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division.
Record flow: Comanche County Sheriff for Gustine › Comanche County Courts › Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division.
For a recent Gustine event, start with the Sheriff and jail. For a Gustine outcome, use the named court. The DPS public name search is statewide but narrower than a complete fingerprint-linked history. It can also lag a Gustine disposition or confuse similar names.
Gustine History and Record Geography
Gustine's official history says settlement began around 1873 as Old Evergreen. In the 1890s, the community shifted toward the new Comanche-Hamilton road. Today, town administration remains local while criminal-justice records center on county offices in Comanche. The old move and modern county routing are different stories, but both show why place names alone do not identify the current custodian.
Historical or genealogy research may begin with Gustine municipal and local-history sources. A modern Sheriff report, jail record, or criminal court file follows the current official route. Keeping those purposes apart prevents a city archive or general contact form from being treated as a police-record system.
The town's move toward the Comanche-Hamilton road also explains why a modern Gustine place name can describe community context without naming the record holder. Current authority controls. City Hall keeps municipal administrative material, the Sheriff keeps deputy-created law-enforcement reports, the jail keeps custody data, and the named court keeps its filed case. A genealogy request may reasonably start with local history, while a present arrest or citation request must follow that current custody chain.
Four Gustine Surveys, One Record System
The official town history notes that four surveys meet near Main and Leon. One, the Christopher H. Clark survey, traces to an 1846 Battle of Bexar service land grant. Gustine's agricultural setting includes cattle, horses, goats, sheep, grain, pecans, and fruit. These facts give local context without implying a separate town justice agency.
Modern law-enforcement jurisdiction follows current authority, not a historical survey line or a Gustine postal address. The town's lack of a listed police department means the Sheriff route remains the right starting point for local offense and arrest reports. A boundary or agency question should be resolved with the Sheriff and the issuing record itself.
Gustine Record Access Rules
Use the Texas Public Information Act for records held by Gustine City Hall or the Sheriff, but send the request to the body that created the record. Court files follow judicial access rules. DPS releases only the statewide criminal-history information that Texas law makes public. Precision helps, yet statutory restrictions still apply.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is the Texas Public Information Act; section 552.108 can protect qualifying law-enforcement information.
Texas Government Code sections 411.083 and 411.135 govern confidential criminal-history information and the public conviction and deferred-adjudication extract.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 66 governs criminal-history reporting from law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts.
Active investigations, juvenile records, victim details, protected identifiers, and sealed or expunged material may be withheld. A ten-business-day Public Information Act point generally requires a procedural response, not final production of every record.
County Data Is Not Gustine Data
Gustine has no city police ORI or official town offense total in the research. The Sheriff's ORI, TX0470000, covers a much larger countywide jurisdiction. Those Sheriff numbers cannot be relabeled as a Gustine crime rate. Doing so would assign events from outside town to Gustine and distort the record.
Census estimates place Gustine at 420 residents in 2024, up from 396 in 2020. That Gustine population change supplies local context but does not establish a Gustine crime trend. For a specific Gustine event, rely on the Sheriff report, jail identifiers, named court, and disposition. Those documents answer the record question without inventing town-level statistics.
The absence of a Gustine police ORI is itself a routing fact, not missing evidence to be filled with a county statistic. Sheriff activity can involve Gustine, another incorporated place, or unincorporated land. Only a record with a Gustine location and matching event identifiers supports a statement about that town. This limit keeps countywide reporting useful without turning it into an unsupported city total.
