The Lubbock Police Department handles public records requests for incident reports, arrest records, and related documentation.

Public information requests to LPD are governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 552. The department has 10 business days to respond. Incident reports for closed matters are typically available. Records related to active investigations may be withheld or redacted in part. You can request records in person at the Records Division or follow the process listed on the LPD website for submitting written requests.

Lubbock Municipal Court

The Lubbock Municipal Court handles Class C misdemeanors and city ordinance violations. These cases are not felonies and are maintained separately from the Lubbock County District Clerk's felony records. If you need records for traffic citations or city-level violations, the municipal court is the right office to contact.

The Lubbock Municipal Court has an online case search available for citations and misdemeanor matters. This is separate from the Lubbock County felony records system and covers only city court cases.
