Caddo Mills Criminal Records and Growth

Caddo Mills is no longer well described by an old, static small-town label. The 2020 Caddo Mills population was 1,495, while the Census Bureau's 2024 Caddo Mills estimate was 5,257. That change placed Caddo Mills third among Hunt County's incorporated cities on the consistent 2024 estimate set, ahead of longer-established places that older rankings might select. Caddo Mills growth increases calls, citations, and demand for city services, but Caddo Mills population change by itself does not prove a rise in crime.

The Caddo Mills community developed near Caddo Creek. A Johnson and King gristmill helped shape the Caddo Mills name, the post office opened in 1879, and the Katy railroad arrived in 1886. Caddo Mills incorporation followed by the early 1940s. Today, Caddo Mills sits at State Highway 66 and Farm to Market Road 36, about eight miles southwest of Greenville. Those routes and the Caddo Mills growth pattern explain why a current record request should use current city contacts instead of an outdated directory.

Caddo Mills Police Department Records

The Caddo Mills Police Department is at 2309 Main Street, P.O. Box 490, Caddo Mills, TX 75135. The department lists (903) 527-3122 and office hours Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Its official page warns that officers are often out patrolling, so an unanswered door does not mean the department is closed or that no record exists.

Caddo Mills police files can include Caddo Mills incident and arrest reports, call details, and responsive media subject to Texas access limits. A useful Caddo Mills request identifies the requester, report number when known, event date and location, an involved party, the exact Caddo Mills report or media sought, and a delivery preference. Active Caddo Mills investigations, juvenile information, victim-sensitive facts, body-camera material, personal identifiers, and other protected content may be withheld or redacted.

Caddo Mills Police Dispatch Records Route

Hunt County Sheriff's Office dispatch is the best contact when someone needs a Caddo Mills officer, including after hours and for Caddo Mills impound matters. The published number is (903) 453-6838. Emergencies remain 911. This Caddo Mills arrangement matters because the police office may be empty while Caddo Mills officers patrol. Dispatch can help reach an officer, but it does not become the owner of every Caddo Mills police report.

For an immediate Caddo Mills operational question, use dispatch. For an existing Caddo Mills city record, use the police or City Secretary route. For a Caddo Mills arrest followed by a Hunt County jail booking, use the county roster or jail information. Keeping those Caddo Mills roles apart prevents a common loop in which a requester asks dispatch for a report, asks police for a booking, or asks the jail for an incident narrative.

Caddo Mills City Records Fallback

No dedicated Caddo Mills police record-request portal, downloadable Caddo Mills police form, public blotter, arrest log, or current city crime table was verified on the official site. The reliable Caddo Mills written-request fallback is City Secretary Becky Pattillo at City Hall, 2313 Main Street, (903) 527-9401. The City Secretary's stated Caddo Mills duties include open records, open meetings, and records management.

Call for the current Caddo Mills submission email and a fee quote instead of inventing or relying on an unofficial portal. In a Caddo Mills request, give contact information, an incident or report number when known, event date and location, involved party, a precise description of the existing Caddo Mills report or media, and a delivery preference. Specific terms reduce the chance of an overbroad request and help Caddo Mills staff locate the right Caddo Mills record.

Note: A public-information request seeks existing records; it does not require city staff to create a new criminal-history report or analysis.

Caddo Mills Arrests and Bookings

Caddo Mills does not advertise a city jail. The Caddo Mills dispatch arrangement and the Hunt County roster make the Hunt County Detention Center the practical place to trace Caddo Mills custody, but the destination remains an inference until a Caddo Mills arrest or booking record confirms it. Search the official Hunt County Jail Inmate Search and check the arresting-agency field for Caddo Mills Police Department. With blank dates, the tool returns current Caddo Mills inmates; a date range can locate an earlier period of custody.

A Caddo Mills police arrest report and a Caddo Mills jail booking answer different questions. The police report covers the Caddo Mills event, alleged offense, officer action, and arrest basis. The jail record covers Caddo Mills intake, booking identifiers, charges received by the jail, bond, and custody state. Neither proves conviction. If Caddo Mills prosecution follows, check the proper clerk for the charge actually filed and the final court disposition.

Caddo Mills Records Without a Blotter

The absence of a Caddo Mills arrest log is not evidence that a Caddo Mills event did not occur. It means Caddo Mills records must be checked through the office and system that created each part. Request the Caddo Mills agency report through the city, search Hunt County custody when Caddo Mills booking is possible, and check municipal or county court records when a Caddo Mills charge was filed. Search results may appear at different times because those Caddo Mills systems are not one synchronized database.

If no current inmate appears, try the county date-range search. A person may have been released or transferred. Call jail information at (903) 453-6849 for custody clarification, and use TDCJ only after a state-prison transfer. If the question is the court outcome, move to the municipal court or correct Hunt County clerk instead of repeatedly searching custody. The Hunt County arrest lookup gives the county-wide booking sequence at greater depth.

Municipal Court Records in Caddo Mills

Caddo Mills Municipal Court is at 2313 Main Street, P.O. Box 490. The published phone numbers are (903) 527-9421 and (903) 527-3116, with fax at (903) 527-4582. The official page names Judge Shawn Roten and Clerk Amy Mendoza and publishes individual 2026 court dates. The city code assigns the court state-law powers and provides for municipal judges appointed to two-year terms.

The Caddo Mills court handles city ordinance and fine-only matters, not Class A or B misdemeanors or felonies. No verified Caddo Mills public name-search portal is documented. Contact the Caddo Mills clerk with a citation or cause identifier and the identifying facts staff requests. Caddo Mills dated dockets, pleas, settings, court action, and payment status may answer a municipal question, while a county case requires a county clerk.

Caddo Mills Citation Record Deadline

The city's citation procedure requires action within 20 business days. An adult or counsel may appear in person or respond by mail postmarked before the deadline. Available pleas include guilty, no contest, and not guilty. A not-guilty plea moves the matter toward trial and a choice between judge and jury. Contact the court with the citation number rather than waiting for a county criminal search to display a city-level matter.

Juveniles must appear with a parent or guardian and cannot plead or pay online. The city links FastGov for qualifying adult citation payments but excludes alcohol offenses and adds a 3.5% card fee. Cash, check, money order, and card channels are described by the court. FastGov is not a verified criminal-case name search. A payment screen should never be treated as the full docket or as proof that all required court action is complete.

Where Caddo Mills Records Go

Caddo Mills Police keeps the agency report. The municipal court keeps qualifying city ordinance and fine-only case records. A confirmed detention generates a booking at the receiving jail. Class A and B misdemeanor files move to the Hunt County Clerk and County Courts at Law, while felony files move to the District Clerk and the 196th or 354th District Court. Eligible arrest fingerprints and dispositions are reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Record flow: Caddo Mills Police Department › Caddo Mills Municipal Court or Hunt County Courts › Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division

That flow is not instant. A new police report may exist before any jail or court entry. The intake charge may differ from the prosecutor's filed charge. DPS reporting can lag the local disposition. For higher-case details, the Hunt County criminal court cases resource explains the county portals and clerks without shifting this city page away from Caddo Mills.

Caddo Mills Arrest Records in Context

Caddo Mills publishes no current official city crime table. A historical DPS criminal-history compliance report lists adult arrest reports from Caddo Mills Police ranging from 5 to 22 per year from 2007 through 2016. It lists 22 for 2016, 19 for 2015, 21 for 2014, and 22 for 2013. Juvenile reports were 2, 1, and 2 for 2016 through 2014, then zero in the remaining listed years.

Those figures measure agency CCH arrest reports, not current crimes, convictions, calls for service, or city crime rates. They also predate the city's sharp population growth. For a newer comparison, use the FBI Crime Data Explorer, select Caddo Mills Police Department, label the exact year and measure, and verify that twelve months are complete before calculating a rate. Do not merge city counts with Hunt County sheriff data.

Public Access Rules in Caddo Mills

The Texas Public Information Act applies to city police and administrative records subject to its exceptions. Judicial case records follow court law and rules instead of the ordinary TPIA route. Public access may still omit active-investigation material, juvenile information, victim details, full birth dates, government identifiers, sealed or expunged records, and other information made confidential by law. A city response can therefore confirm a record while redacting protected portions.

Send the request to the office that maintains the file. The City Secretary route fits city police public information; the municipal clerk handles a city citation; and Hunt County clerks handle higher filed cases. If seeking relief for your own record, Texas expunction under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A differs from an order of nondisclosure under Government Code Chapter 411.
