What Houma Booking Records Show
Houma booking records are public under Louisiana Revised Statute 44:3(4)(a), which makes the booking of a person under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228 a public document. The public portion includes the person's name and identifying information, the charges filed, the booking date and time, and the location of the alleged offense.
TPSO provides public arrest information for $5 and full arrest records for $15. The LAVINE system provides basic booking and custody data at no charge. Letters of incarceration from TPSO cost $15 each. Records tied to active investigations or pending criminal litigation are not public under R.S. 44:3 and can be withheld while cases remain open.
